What Can An Auto Mechanic Teach You
About Knee Pain? More Than You Think...
Caribbean L BQ ife, March 15–21, 2019 47
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, NODRUG
KNEE RESTORATION
SYSTEM.
This non-invasive,
no-drug solution had
no side effects and was
proven to decrease
knee discomfort.
NKSD could regenerate
cartilage and repair
damaged tissuesliterally
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.
