Knee pain can be debilitating, but surgery isn’t always the only solution. For many individuals, non-surgical alternatives to knee replacement can provide effective relief, improve mobility, and delay or even eliminate the need for surgery. At Mahi Clinic, we offer a range of advanced, evidence-based treatments to help you regain knee function and live pain-free.
Physical therapy is a cornerstone of knee pain management. A personalized exercise program can:
Strengthen the muscles around the knee to provide better joint support.
Improve flexibility and range of motion.
Reduce pain and enhance overall knee function.
Delay the progression of osteoarthritis and joint degeneration.
Medications can effectively manage knee pain and inflammation. Options include:
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): Such as ibuprofen and naproxen to reduce swelling and discomfort.
COX-2 Inhibitors: Safer for long-term use with fewer gastrointestinal side effects.
Topical Pain Relievers: Creams or gels that provide localized relief without systemic side effects.
Excess weight puts additional strain on the knee joints, accelerating cartilage breakdown. Losing even 5-10% of body weight can:
Reduce pain and stiffness.
Slow disease progression.
Improve mobility and overall joint function.
Using supportive devices can help offload stress from the knee joint:
Knee Braces: Provide stability and redistribute pressure.
Orthotic Shoe Inserts: Correct alignment issues and relieve joint strain.
Canes or Walkers: Reduce pressure on the knee, especially for those with severe arthritis.
For those seeking minimally invasive options, injections can provide significant pain relief and delay the need for surgery.
Corticosteroid Injections: Reduce inflammation and provide temporary relief for weeks to months.
Hyaluronic Acid Injections: Improve joint lubrication, acting as a synthetic version of the body’s natural joint fluid.
These cutting-edge treatments offer pain relief and improved function without the risks of surgery. Consult our orthopedic specialists to see if joint regeneration is right for you!
These alternatives are ideal for individuals who:
Have mild to moderate arthritis or knee damage.
Are not ready for or do not qualify for knee replacement surgery.
Want to explore conservative treatments before considering surgery.
