Freedom from Joint Pain with the NexGen Joint Solution™

Living with joint pain—whether in your knees, hips, or shoulders—changes everything. Maybe it’s the aching stiffness in your knees when you try to climb the stairs. Or the sharp pain in your hip that makes getting in and out of the car feel impossible. Or maybe it’s your shoulder that keeps you up at night, throbbing every time you roll over. Pain like this doesn’t just hurt—it steals your freedom.

NexGen Joint Solution™

A better way to fix knee, hip, and shoulder pain—without jumping straight to surgery

Pain is a signal. If your knee is stiff in the morning, your hip pinches when you stand up, or your shoulder wakes you at night, your body is asking for help. The answer is not to wait until it gets worse. The answer is to fix the reason it hurts in the first place.

At LifeWorks Integrative Health in Shawnee, KS, we use the NexGen Joint Solution™ to help people move again. We correct how your body moves, build strength to protect your joints, and use smart regenerative tools when needed. Our goal is simple: less pain, better movement, and a real plan to avoid or delay surgery.

The real story of joint pain

Maybe this sounds like you.
You felt a small ache after a long day. You told yourself it was “just age.” You took ibuprofen and kept going. Weeks turned into months. Now stairs are harder. Getting out of the car takes effort. You skip walks. You stop playing with the kids or grandkids. Sleep is worse. You feel older than you are.

This is how many people slide into big joint problems. Not because they are weak. Not because they don’t care. But because life is busy and pain is easy to ignore. The truth is hard but simple: waiting makes it worse. Joints break down faster when we don’t fix the cause.

You deserve more than pills, repeat cortisone shots, and a rushed path to surgery. You deserve a plan that fixes the why, not just the what.

Why your joints hurt
(and why it’s not “just wear and tear”)

Most long-term joint pain is not random. It’s not only “wear and tear.” It often comes from poor mechanics—how you stand, walk, lift, sit, and move every day.

- Knees take extra stress when hips are weak, feet roll in, or the pelvis is tilted.
- Hips get irritated when the core is weak, the glutes don’t fire, or the lower back is tight.
- Shoulders get pinched when the upper back is stiff, the shoulder blade doesn’t move right, or the rotator cuff is weak.

When mechanics are off, certain tissues get overloaded. Cartilage wears down faster. Tendons get angry. Bursae swell. Then pain shows up. If we only numb the pain, the overload keeps going—so the joint keeps breaking down.

Good news: mechanics can change at any age. When we restore how you move and then strengthen the weak links, stress on the joint drops. That’s when real healing can begin.

Why the standard path fails many people

Most people get pushed into the same cycle:

1. Over-the-counter meds to quiet pain
2. Stronger meds or cortisone shots when pain returns
3. “Clean-up” surgeries that don’t fix why the damage started
4. Joint replacement when the joint is too far gone

Some of these steps have a place. But if mechanics and strength are never fixed, results don’t last. Many people end up right back where they started—only with less tissue and more frustration.

The NexGen Joint Solution™ is different. We fix the source of overload first, then build protection around the joint, and only then add regenerative tools if they’ll help you heal better and faster.

What our patients are saying

We could tell you all about biomechanics, advanced therapies, and our team’s experience—but the truth is, the best proof comes from the people who’ve sat where you are right now. Here’s what they had to say after choosing the NexGen Joint Solution™

“I canceled my knee replacement consult. Stairs aren’t scary anymore.”— Overland Park, KS

“Three visits in and I finally slept without shoulder pain. I hadn’t had a full night’s rest in years.”— Shawnee, KS

“My hip pain used to control my workday. Now I walk at lunch again and feel like myself.”— Lenexa, KS

“I thought I was too old for change. After working through the program, I can garden and play with my grandkids again.”— Olathe, KS

“This is the first place that actually explained why my joints were failing—and then showed me how to fix it.”— Leawood, KS

Who this program helps

Knee Pain: Pain with stairs or standing, swelling after activity, “bone-on-bone” talk, meniscus wear, past scopes, or repeat cortisone

Hip Pain: Groin or outer-hip pain, stiffness after sitting, pinching with rotation, IT-band trouble, or low-back issues that tag along

Shoulder Pain: Night pain, trouble reaching or lifting, rotator cuff strain, frozen shoulder patterns, or pain after overhead work or sports

If you’ve been told “you’re not bad enough for surgery” or “it’s just age,” you’re likely the perfect fit—because this is the window when mechanics and strength can change the most.

The NexGen Joint Solution™: how it works

1) Correct the mechanics (fix the way you move)

We start with a full-body screen: posture, gait, joint motion, muscle activation, balance, and how each link in your chain affects the next. We look at feet, knees, hips, pelvis, spine, and shoulder blades. Then we correct alignment and motion with chiropractic care, mobility work, and manual therapy. This quickly reduces extra stress on the joint.

2) Strengthen and stabilize (build joint protection)

Once you’re moving better, we train the weak links—glutes, deep core, foot/ankle control, rotator cuff, and scapular stabilizers. We use simple, focused progressions and coach your form, so the right muscles do the work. Stronger support = less overload = fewer flare-ups.

3) Regenerate and recover (support healing when needed)

When mechanics and strength are in place, we add regenerative tools if they fit your case—like PRP (platelet-rich plasma), specific cellular allografts, soft-tissue work, or targeted anti-inflammatory and tendon-support plans. These do not replace the work in steps 1 and 2. They amplify it.

Why this sequence matters: You cannot rebuild a joint on a faulty foundation. First we change the physics on the joint. Then we make the system strong. Then we help tissue heal.

What results feel like

- Getting out of a chair without bracing for pain
- Climbing stairs with more confidence
- Sleeping through the night without shoulder pain waking you
- Walking, working, and playing without planning your day around aches
- Canceling a surgery consult—or delaying it long enough to keep your options open

We’ve seen these wins from people across the KC metro. Not because of a miracle. Because we fixed the cause and gave the body a better way to move and heal.

Tap Book Now or call us. We’ll listen to your story, review any imaging you have, and complete a head-to-toe screen.

Step 2: Get your personalized plan

We’ll map out where your mechanics break down and which muscles need to be stronger. You’ll see the plan for care in the clinic and at home.

Step 3: Start feeling and moving better

We begin treatment and track real changes—less reactivity, more motion, better sleep, stronger steps. Most people start noticing progress in the first few weeks.

Insurance note: Many evaluation and rehab services are insurance-eligible. We verify benefits up front and give clear options for anything not covered.

Straight answers to common questions (FAQ)

Do you only treat knees?

No. NexGen is built for knees, hips, and shoulders—often together. Joints are a team. Fixing one without the others rarely lasts.

What if I’ve been told I’m “bone-on-bone”?

Imaging is one piece of the puzzle. Many people with significant wear still improve when we change loading and build strength. If surgery is the best choice, prehab with us can improve recovery.

How long until I feel better?Everyone is different. Many people feel early changes within weeks. Deeper strength and stability grow month by month. Our goal is not a quick numbing—it’s durable function.

Do you accept insurance?

We work with many plans. We’ll check your benefits and explain coverage before you start. If part of your plan isn’t covered, we’ll show clear, affordable options.

Is this safe if I’m older?

Yes. We tailor care to your level and build steadily. Better mechanics and strength help at any age.
