Knee Decompression provides non-opiod, non-surgery help with:
Chronic Knee Pain
Osteoarthritis/Degenerative Arthritis
ACL/MCL/LCL/PCL Injuries
Meniscus Tears

Failed Surgery (after 1 year)
Sub-acute Muscle Strain
Chronic Muscle Strain
Previous Injury (6-8 weeks post-injury)
Knee Decompression Therapy for Knee Pain Relief
Knee Decompression can be a very effective option for treating many types of knee pain. If you qualify, knee decompression may help delay or avoid knee surgery. A growing list of research studies and reviews demonstrate that knee decompression services are clinically effective, safe, and affordable.

The Knee On Trac™ decompression technology isolates the knee and gently separates the joint space between the bottom of the femur (thigh bone) and the top of the tibia (shin bone). This helps bring nutrients, synovial fluid and hydration to the knee. This also stretches the muscles, ligaments, tendons and other soft tissue around the joint. This combined effect helps to re-establish some of the natural joint space and cushioning in the knee.
Research has shown that decompression therapy can increase bone growth (osteogenesis), improve blood supply (angiogenesis), and increase joint mobility (viscoelasticity)
This reduces pain, increases normal motion of the joint, and promotes tissue healing.

Non-drug, Non-surgical Knee Pain Treatment
Knee Decompression Therapy can help avoid surgery, which typically results in prolonged recovery time, discomfort, infection risk, and uncertain outcomes. It provides all-natural pain relief. If you have already had knee surgery, and it has failed to relieve your chronic knee pain, Knee Decompression can help restore movement and relieve ongoing knee pain.
Extends the Life of the Knee Before Surgery is Unavoidable
Most orthopedic surgeons will recommend trying conservative treatment options before resorting to surgery. Knee Decompression is a great non-invasive way to extend the life of the knees.
Easy to Receive Treatment
You will be evaluated by Dr. Thaddeus Sharikov to see if you are a good candidate for using knee decompression to reduce knee pain. Each session takes between 5-10 minutes depending on your condition and need.
-
Most patients see positive results in the first few treatments. Your treatment may be combined with other therapies for faster and better results. The total number of treatments recommended will depend on the severity of your condition along with your personal treatment goals.
