Offering knee pain treatment called viscosupplementation, and physical therapy

Alternative to Knee Replacement Surgery and Steroid Injections

A revolutionary, new, non-surgical treatment called Viscosupplementation Therapy is providing hope and relief for many knee pain sufferers. Viscosupplementation therapy is a procedure involving the injection of gel-like substances (hyaluronates) into a joint to supplement the viscous properties of synovial fluid. This procedure has been shown to be 86% successful in alleviating pain associated with osteoarthritis and is covered by most major medical insurance providers and Medicare. At Physicians Rehabilitation, we offer this minimally invasive procedure that requires no surgery, can provide immediate results, and has little to no recovery time.

Accurate Knee Injections

As part of our Knee Relief Program, we utilize a breakthrough piece of medical equipment at our facility called a Fluoroscope. This is a very important point because fluoroscopy allows our medical staff to look inside your joints, in real time, with the latest in imaging technology while administering any of our minimally invasive injection procedures. This instrument helps to insure that the injected material is introduced to the exact point intended and therefore provides the best possible outcome from each injection.

Physical Therapy is Key

Physical therapy for knee pain focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and returning strength and normal function. Along with our knee injection, physical therapy also helps spread the viscosupplement within the treated joint.

Unloading Knee Brace

This knee support device increases joint space reducing the pressure on the cartilage of the knee and the knee cap. This un-loading effect aids the viscosupplement that has been injected to bond with the knee joint’s existing synovial fluid with greater ease.

  • Adjustable – Varus and valgus adjustments lessens pain and aids the viscosupplement in bonding with the knee joint’s existing synovial fluid
  • Durable – Rivets are used, instead of screws that come loose or break
  • Wearable – Fits beneath slacks so patients are more likely to wear it
  • Comfortable – Cushioned to avoid skin irritation extending wear time

Why is our Non-Surgical Knee Program so successful?

At our clinic, we offer a unique approach in rehabilitation of Osteoarthritic knees by using the combination of state of the art rehabilitation equipment, cutting edge unloading knee braces, and highly trained physical therapists specializing in total knee rehabilitation. We found that the combined approach of all three of these treatments along with natural joint viscosupplementation therapy are the main reasons for our success.
