What Can An Auto Mechanic Teach You
About Knee Pain? More Than You Think...
Caribbean L BQ ife, March 22–28, 2019 17
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, 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.
