KNEE PAIN
What causes knee pain?
Chronic knee pain is widely recognized by health care providers as one of the most difficult pain syndromes to manage and treat. We have been intensely working with people suffering with these symptoms for close to a decade.
Often after just a few treatments, patients with excruciating chronic knee pain – including bone on bone knee degeneration – are telling us AND SHOWING US how their pain levels, swelling, and stiffness have decreased while their walking strength has increased. They are SHOCKED and THRILLED with the results.
Is it hard for you to do activities like walking, bending, standing and lifting? What causes your knee pain?
- The most common causes of knee pain are related to aging, injury, or repeated stress on the knee.
- Common knee problems include sprained or strained ligaments, cartilage tears, tendonitis, and arthritis.
- Diagnosing a knee injury or problem includes a medical examination and usually the use of a diagnostic procedure(s) such as an x-ray, MRI, CT scan or arthroscopy.
- Both non-operative and surgical treatment options are available to treat knee pain and problems depending on the type and severity of the condition.
How We Can Help
GenVisc 850, also known as “Knee Gel”, is from a class of products known as hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate, or hyaluronan (HA), which is also referred to as viscosupplementation therapy. It’s used in a non-surgical procedure that helps supplement the viscous properties of the fluid in your knee joint. GenVisc 850 is approved for patients who have not adequately responded or have failed to find sufficient relief from simple analgesics, exercise or physical therapy. How does it work?
- Reduces pain and inflammation
- Re-lubricates the joint for better mobility
- Realigns the joint for better mobility
- Strengthens the joint for true, long-term relief
- Enhances the healing of ligaments and tissues

What are the benefits?
There are several benefits to undergoing PRP therapy for knee pain, but the most significant being the ability to eliminate treatments like major surgeries. PRP therapy allows for the patient to use their own cells to repair and regenerate damaged cells, rather than going under for surgery to relieve pain. The goal of PRP Therapy is to relieve pain through healing and regeneration of damaged tissues in the knee, thus the treatment provides lasting results without the risks or side effects of surgery and other aggressive forms of treatment.
