Knee Decompression

Knee Decompression

Knee pain can be quite debilitating, as it is one of the most used and weight-bearing joints in the human body. The stability of the knee is due to four ligaments, muscles, and the actual joint structure. During the course of a typical day, the knee goes through a whole range of motions, from sitting, walking, twisting, and much more. Because of the abuse we put our knees through, there can be damage to the muscle, cartilage, or the joint itself. Some of the pain can be alleviated with the use of anti-inflammatory ointments or tablets. More severe cases need medical attention for more effective treatment, while some patients have even had their knee or knees replaced. Fortunately, there is a new FDA-cleared therapy, knee decompression therapy, for people who suffer from knee pain due to osteoarthritis, bone spurs, trauma-related knee pain, degenerative arthritis, and other chronic knee conditions.

Benefits Of Knee Decompression

Knee decompression is an effective therapy and a great non-surgical option for treating knee pain. Knee decompression has the following benefits:

• Restores synovial fluid
• Relieves pressure on knee joint
• Improves knee joint functions
• Reduces joint friction
• Non-invasive procedure

How Knee Decompression Works

Studies show that knee decompression is more effective at decreasing pain and improving quality of life than ultrasound and exercise combined. It helps replenish depleted Synovial fluid within the knee joint, which is the fluid that lubricates joints during movement. It also breaks down adhesions caused by injury to the knee. With chronic knee pain affecting the steps you take daily, finding a low-cost yet effective therapy is of the utmost importance.
