Does This Sound Like You?
You’ve seen everyone for knee pain and are still left without solutions. You’ve tried therapeutic massages but it came back (or worse, aggravated it), chiropractic care only offered temporary relief, your physical therapist put you on the same exercises as everyone, the pain management doctor did a nerve ablation and told you to stop being active, and the orthopedic surgeon told you that you weren’t a surgical candidate…
You’re too young to be losing your mobility – and, worse, your independence. Yet, for many on the quest to conquer discomfort, the only option offered by most healthcare providers is to ‘wait until it gets worse.’ But here’s what they don’t want you to know: You can experience lasting relief now.
Pain is Not Something You ‘Just Have to Live With’
John, 42, came to us after exhausting every option outside of surgery: “The worst part is feeling constantly drained. The pain takes so much out of me mentally.” Despite months of physical therapy, cortisone injections, and doctor’s appointments, his improvement was minimal. An orthopedic surgeon also diagnosed him with a meniscus tear, but told him he needed to wait for it to get worse to consider surgery. But John was determined to find a long-term solution that was NOT surgery.
What the Other Doctors Missed…
John had fallen into what we call “The Gap”— where insurance-based care only offers temporary relief, surgery isn’t an option, and waiting for the pain to get worse seems like the only choice. Additionally, most providers only look for what they know how to treat. [If physical therapy and cortisone doesn’t work, and you’re not a surgical candidate, they have officially run out of options for you…]
Luckily, our meticulous ‘Deep Dive’ approach and expertise allowed our team to bridge that gap for John. Recognizing his frustration, we swiftly took action, confirming the meniscus tear and developing a targeted treatment plan to heal the damaged tissue. In just four weeks, the pain improved significantly, allowing John to regain his range of motion, confidently reclaim his stride, and return to the life he loves.
