What Can An Auto Mechanic Teach You
About Knee Pain? More Than You Think...
Brooklyn, N.Y. – If
you’ve been suffering from
chronic knee pain, the secret
to relief may lie in a
principle your automobile
mechanic has been telling
you for years.
I’m sure you’re wondering
what fixing cars has
to do with your stiff, sore,
aching knees, let me explain.
You see most doctors
never take the time to
show their patients what
is actually causing the arthritis,
pain, and grinding
in their knees.
The easiest way to understand
what causes chronic
knee pain is to take a page
from your friendly neighborhood
auto mechanic.
Picture this scenario:
you have one tire on your
vehicle that is constantly
wearing out, you can patch
that tire (which is what the
shots in your knees are
like), and you can even replace
the tire (like a knee
surgery) but what happens
if you never actually get
around to fixing the car’s
alignment?
You’re exactly right, the
tire just keeps wearing out
unevenly and you’re back
at square one. Any mechanic
worth its salt will
tell you that you’ve got to
fix the alignment, otherwise
you’re just putting
patches on the real problem.
Now what does this have
to do with your knee pain?
The alignment, or stability
in your knees is maintained
by the muscles that
surround the joint. These
muscles are fed by nerves
that come from your spine
(specifically the L4 and L5
levels). The problem is that
as we age, these nerves can
be compressed by bulging
or herniated discs, a
condition known as spinal
stenosis, or degenerative
disc disease.
When this happens, the
muscles that protect the
knee don’t do their job properly,
causing increased
stress on the joints. This is
why medications, therapy
and injections in the knees
often only provide temporary
relief – they aren’t
getting to the real cause of
the problem!
This is also why so many
people suffering with
chronic knee pain tell us
that their legs feel weaker
than they used to or that
their knee will just “give
out on them” sometimes.
Now you understand why!
At our office we use a
very effective technology
to treat chronic knee pain
safely without drugs or
surgery. Cold laser is an
outpatient, non surgical
procedure that is used to
decrease pain and inflammation.
This same therapy
is used by professional
sports teams including the
New York Yankees, Boston
Celtics, Philadelphia Phillies,
and the U.S. Olympic
Team.
Even more important
is the fact that cold laser
therapy has been shown
to regenerate the damaged
cartilage on the surfaces
of the joints. The energy
from the laser accelerates
the growth of the cartilage
cells, helping the knees
glide more smoothly with
less pain.
We combine Laser
Therapy with Non-Surgical
Knee Decompression
(NKSD). NKSD is a
treatment for the knee is
a NEW NON-INVASIVE,
NO-DRUG KNEE RESTORATION
SYSTEM.
This non-invasive, nodrug
solution had no side
effects and was proven to
decrease knee discomfort.
NKSD could regenerate
cartilage and repair damaged
tissues-literally reversing
years of ongoing
damage.
The amount of treatment
needed to allow the
joints and nerves to fully
recover varies from person
to person and can only
be determined after a detailed
neurological and orthopedic
evaluation.
Dr. Melinda Keller will
do a Knee Pain Severity
Examination to determine
the extent of the nerve
damage for only $47. This
Knee Pain Severity Examination
will consist of a detailed
sensory evaluation,
an in depth examination
of your knees, and a thorough
analysis of the findings
of your chronic knee
pain.
If you are able to be
helped, the Doctor will
then go over a detailed
plan of action on how to
help reduce or stop your
knee pain.
Imagine being able to
get out of bed in the morning
and simply walk across
the room without considering
the warm-up process
to start the day.
How about being able
to take a long walk in
the park with a friend or
spouse again?
Call today to see if
your chronic pain can be
treated.
Dr. Melinda Keller will
be offering this Knee Pain
Severity Examination
from now until March 28,
2019.
