Is Knee Replacement Really Your Only Option?
Has your doctor told you your knee is "bone on bone"? Before you schedule surgery, there's something you should know: there's usually a chance that integrative treatment options can help you avoid surgery and prolong the life of your joint.
Common causes of knee pain include: Tendonitis, osteoarthritis (wear and tear), meniscus tears, ligament injuries, and inflammation. The key is finding the ROOT cause of YOUR pain.

Knee Pain Questions Answered
Not necessarily! Dr. Matt reveals that usually there's a chance that integrative treatment options can help you avoid surgery and prolong the life of your joint. Our regenerative therapies can help repair damaged tissue and reduce inflammation—even in advanced cases. We recommend exhausting conservative options before committing to surgery.
Cortisone shots only mask pain temporarily—they don't address the underlying cause or help repair the joint. In fact, repeated cortisone injections can actually accelerate joint damage. Our approach is different: we use regenerative therapies that help the body repair and heal, not just cover up symptoms.
We treat all common causes of knee pain including: tendonitis (pain in the front of the knee, worse climbing stairs), osteoarthritis (wear and tear), meniscus tears, ligament injuries, and general inflammation. During your evaluation, we'll determine the exact cause of YOUR pain.
Many of our services are covered by insurance, including BCBS, United, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, and Medicare. Some regenerative therapies may not be covered. We'll verify your coverage during your evaluation so you know exactly what to expect. We also offer flexible payment plans.
Many patients notice improvement within the first few weeks. However, regenerating and repairing joint tissue takes time. During your evaluation, we'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific condition. We always encourage patients to start with conservative, natural treatment first.
