Knee Pain Treatment Options
All Natural Knee Injections
If you’re dealing with chronic knee pain, you may be interested in exploring natural alternatives to surgery. One such option is injection-based therapies that harnesses the body’s natural healing power to alleviate pain symptoms. Athletes like Tiger Woods have praised this treatment for its ability to speed up the healing process and provide relief from knee pain.
During our all-natural treatment, a small amount of blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to extract the plasma, which contains concentrated growth factors. This plasma is then injected into the affected joint, where it can accelerate the natural healing process. The entire procedure takes less than an hour and is performed under local anesthesia.
Typically, a series of injections over several weeks is needed to achieve the desired results. Many patients report long-term relief from knee pain after just one or two prolotherapy sessions.
A 2017 study published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research found that these injections were more effective in treating knee osteoarthritis pain than other types of injections, such as corticosteroids. Additionally, a 2014 study published in the American Journal of Sports showed that three rounds of injections reduced symptoms of chronic patellar tendinopathy. Since this treatment utilizes the body’s natural elements, it is considered a safe process that has been used in hospitals and sports medicine since the 1970s.
Gel Injections (Viscosupplementation)
Gel injections use natural substances to provide cushioning and lubrication to the knees, which is known as viscosupplementation. As we age, the joint fluid lubricating our knee joints reduces, leading to increased pain. Gel injections replace this fluid with a substitute, resulting in prolonged knee joint health and the elimination of painful symptoms. Our team of experts can provide you with the information and guidance you need to determine if gel injections are the right option for you.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is a crucial component of the treatment plan for knee pain, as it focuses on strengthening the muscles and ligaments and restoring normal function. However, relying solely on physical therapy may not be sufficient for addressing the underlying physical structures of the joint that contribute to the pain. This is where viscosupplementation therapy comes in, as it targets the joint structures directly. When used in conjunction with physical therapy, viscosupplementation therapy can provide a comprehensive approach to supporting and strengthening the knee, leading to improved outcomes.
Steroid Injections
Administered by our team of expert professionals, steroid injections have been shown to significantly reduce pain and inflammation in the knee joint. Our team has extensive experience in administering these injections with precision and care, ensuring that you receive the best possible results. We use only the highest quality medications and equipment to ensure that the injection process is safe and effective.
Bracing & support
Our knee-unloading support device has demonstrated the ability to expand joint space, thereby reducing pressure on the knee cartilage and capsule. When used in combination with our Knee Program, this unloading effect can enhance the effectiveness of knee injection therapy by facilitating a stronger bond between the injected substance and the body’s natural synovial fluid. This can lead to faster and more long-lasting pain relief and improved healing outcomes.
- Adjustable – Multi-directional adjustments lessens pain and aids the viscosupplement in bonding with the knee joint’s existing synovial fluid
- Durable – Rivets are used, instead of screws that come loose or break
- Wearable – Fits beneath slacks so is worn more often
- Comfortable – Cushioned to avoid skin irritation extending wear time

Diagnosing Your Knee Pain
At Georgia Medical Treatment Center, we provide comprehensive diagnostic testing to accurately identify your condition. Our expert team of medical providers will conduct a physical examination, utilize imaging scans, and other diagnostic methods to determine the root cause of your knee pain.
During your initial appointment, our physician will thoroughly analyze your chronic pain history, including how it began and whether it was the result of an injury or a gradual onset. We understand that the right treatment for chronic pain requires a thorough understanding of your unique situation, including how your pain feels, how it affects your life, and what types of pain treatments you have tried in the past. Our goal is to identify what is happening at the location of your pain and within your central nervous system, so that we can create a personalized treatment plan that targets the root cause of your knee pain.
Osteoarthritis results from damaged cartilage and tissue in the knee. It can lead to swelling and stiffness that can impair one’s free range of mobility. Unfortunately, it is just one of the many ailments that present themselves as one grows older.
The BMJ lists the following complications that osteoarthritis may cause in the knees:
- Chronic aches and pain
- Stiffness
- Limited range of motion as the condition progresses
- Poor balance that makes standing and walking difficult
- The need to use an assistive device (such as crutches or a wheelchair) to achieve movement
What to Expect from Our All-Natural Knee Pain Treatment
At Georgia Medical Treatment Center, we prioritize the needs and expectations of our clients, offering white-glove service and hotel-inspired amenities during their visit. The procedure is performed in one of our modern treatment rooms and is considered minimally invasive, allowing for outpatient treatment.
Step 1: Consultation
Before undergoing this procedure, it is important to schedule a consultation with our medical team to determine if you are a good candidate. Your successful outcome is our top priority, and our team will provide you with the most effective treatment options for your particular situation.
If our medical team determines that this therapy is suitable for your specific injury or condition, we will discuss any medications or supplements you are currently taking to ensure optimal results. We recommend that you refrain from anti-inflammatory medication three weeks before and after the procedure for long-lasting benefits. You do not need to fast before the procedure.
Step 2: Drawing Blood
Upon arrival, our trained medical professional will draw a small amount of your blood, which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate growth factors and plasma.
Step 3: Re-Injection
This highly concentrated formula is then reinjected into the affected area. The entire process takes around 45 to 60 minutes, and many patients find it painless.
Step 4: Ice the Area
After the procedure, we recommend that you ice the area every two to three hours for 20 minutes each and avoid activities that put significant weight on the joint.
Avoiding The Risks of Surgery
