Considering knee replacement is a serious matter; the thought of going under the knife and having a joint replaced is typically reserved for those pain sufferers that feel there are no other options for finding relief. Surgery is not only costly but can be incredibly painful and require a long and arduous recovery process. Fortunately, there are a number of alternatives that can help to avoid the risky procedure, which a 2017 study of nearly 4,500 patients determined might only minimally improve quality of life. What are the benefits of knee replacement surgery alternatives available at OrthoGen Clinics?
Comprehensive Care
The knee joint is a complex structure, so in most cases, there is no single solution for finding relief. A successful treatment plan will require an accurate diagnosis and the most advanced and effective options available. OrthoGen Clinics offers a variety of knee replacement surgery alternatives to meet your needs:
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP is an all-natural solution that restores and accelerates the body’s own natural healing process to relieve chronic tendon, ligament, joint, and osteoarthritis pain. The platelets in your blood are rich in signaling proteins called growth factors, which work to stimulate tissue repair. Through a simple and fast procedure, they are isolated and concentrated, and then accurately injected directly into the damaged area. Because PRP is such a healthy alternative to cortisone and steroid injections, it can be safely used on a regular basis to provide true, long-term relief.
GenStem
Stem Cell therapy is one of the newest and most advanced treatments available to effectively regenerate tissue loss or damage like ligament or meniscus tears and can relieve chronic knee and osteoarthritis pain. GenStem is our signature multi-step, non-surgical protocol built around the healing powers of incredibly potent stem cells, which naturally exist in your body. Stem cells have the ability to transform into other cells and naturally move to areas of damage. With aging or severe injury, the power of this healing process can be strained, so GenStem boosts the body’s natural abilities by injecting a concentration of stem cells and platelets into the injured area to reduce inflammation, re-nourish the joint, and accelerate healing.
KneeGen5
KneeGen5 is our most comprehensive knee pain treatment plan for conditions like tendonitis, bursitis, ALC, PCL, and MCL sprains or tears, torn meniscus, and intense osteoarthritis pain. Using a multi-step protocol, we combine the latest FDA Approved, injection-based therapies to provide a level of pain reduction and increased mobility that far surpasses the efficiency of anyone treatment. The core of this plan is a series of injections of a natural lubricant produced in the body every day, to coat and cushion joint components for smooth movement. This lubricant can be complemented with other regenerative treatments to accomplish improvements like reduced pain and inflammation, realigned and strengthened joint structures, and enhanced healing. With improved mobility and less pain, our patients happily get back to healthy and supportive activities and lifestyles.
