Non-Surgical Knee Pain Treatment in Shelby Township & Rochester Hills
Michigan Integrative Health offers several non-surgical therapies for knee pain, including Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Joint Stability Care, and Stem Cell Therapy. These options are designed to help manage discomfort and improve joint function without the need for surgical replacement.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of your own blood and processing it to concentrate the platelets. These concentrated platelets are then injected into the knee joint to help support the body’s natural healing processes.
This approach is generally used to address inflammation and tissue irritation within the knee. Many people seek PRP as a way to potentially improve comfort and function in joints that have been overused or strained.
Joint Stability Care
Joint Stability Care uses targeted joint positioning and applied pressure to specific muscles to improve motion, strength, and coordination without any joint manipulation or traditional “bone cracking.”
Patients experience immediate improvement in range of motion, strength and pain levels during the initial visit, confirming the care will help.
This method is often considered for people with chronic knee instability or looseness, torn meniscus and arthritis. It is a non-surgical option intended to help reduce pain by improving the structural support of the joint over time.
Stem Cell Therapy
Stem Cell Therapy is used to support tissue healing of damaged tissues of the knee as well as other parts of the body (back, hip & shoulder)
It is typically considered when medications, therapy, cortisone injections and gel shots are not giving the desired results and surgery is not desired. Many people with bursitis, a torn meniscus and arthritis have received this care to resolve their chronic knee pain.
Evaluating Non-Surgical Options
Not every non-surgical therapy works for every person or every type of knee injury. The right choice often depends on the specific source of your pain, such as whether it stems from ligament strain, cartilage wear, or nerve irritation.
A provider can review your medical history and current symptoms to discuss which therapies might fit your goals. This process helps ensure you understand what each option involves and what it is generally used for.
