Knee pain affects millions of Americans and can significantly impact your quality of life. At Longevity Medicine, we specialize in non-surgical treatments that address the root cause of your knee pain rather than simply masking symptoms.
Patients with chronic knee pain commonly fall into three groups at our clinic: (1) recreational athletes 35–55 with running, lifting, or court-sport overuse injuries; (2) active 60+ adults dealing with osteoarthritis and trying to delay or avoid replacement; and (3) post-surgical patients seeking better recovery than steroid injections have offered.
Conservative regenerative care — particularly PRP for mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis — has growing support in the orthopedic literature, with multiple randomized trials showing better symptom and function scores than hyaluronic acid or saline at 6–12 months. Outcomes vary, and we discuss realistic expectations with every patient.
Yes — for many patients, regenerative injection therapy combined with targeted rehab can meaningfully reduce pain and improve function without surgical intervention. We assess imaging, exam findings, and your goals to determine whether non-surgical options are realistic for you.
Outcomes vary, but in published studies and our clinical experience, patients with mild-to-moderate OA often report 6–18 months of meaningful symptom relief from a treatment series. Severity, joint loading, and adherence to rehab all factor in.
Cortisone is anti-inflammatory and can mask pain temporarily, but it does not promote tissue repair, and repeated injections are associated with cartilage decline. PRP uses your own concentrated platelets to support the body's natural healing response, with the goal of changing the underlying joint environment rather than only suppressing symptoms.
Most patients return to recreational play once their rehab milestones are met. Timing depends on the condition, the treatment, and how loaded the activity is on the involved joint.
