Treatments Options for Knee Pain Relief in St Petersburg

At our clinic, Dr. Colby Staubs takes a holistic approach to treating knee pain through a combination of chiropractic techniques, including manual adjustments, knee on trac and shockwave therapy.

Knee on Trac: Knee On Trac offers an innovative type of knee decompression therapy. The chair-like device was developed for chiropractors just four years ago. It isolates and tractions the knee joint in short sessions. Even a single session can offer dramatic results.

This new joint pain treatment helps treat most causes of knee pain. Which includes sprained or strained ligaments, tendonitis, cartilage tears, and osteoarthritis. It helps reduce inflammation and re-hydrates the joints.

Shockwave therapy: In addition to knee on trac, Dr. Staub utilizes shockwave therapy to further accelerate healing and reduce knee pain. This cutting-edge treatment uses high-energy sound waves to target damaged tissues, promoting increased blood flow, tissue regeneration, and collagen production in the knee area.

Shockwave therapy is especially effective for conditions such as tendonitis, osteoarthritis, and soft tissue injuries, offering significant relief by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.

When combined with chiropractic adjustments, shockwave therapy creates a powerful, non-invasive treatment plan that addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes of knee pain.

Avoid Knee Replacement Surgery with Stem Cell Therapy

At Suncoast Integrative Healthcare, we are proud to offer cutting-edge stem cell therapy to help patients struggling with chronic knee pain and osteoarthritis. This innovative treatment focuses on regenerating damaged tissues and restoring the health of the knee joint without the need for invasive surgery.

Stem cell therapy works by harnessing the body’s natural healing capabilities. By introducing stem cells into the affected knee area, we stimulate the regeneration of damaged cartilage and tissues, which is particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from osteoarthritis, where the cartilage in the knee deteriorates over time.

These stem cells can differentiate into various types of tissue, including cartilage, which helps rebuild and repair the damaged joint structures.

Stem cell therapy offers more than just temporary pain relief; it addresses the root cause of the condition.

In the case of osteoarthritis, where the breakdown of cartilage leads to painful bone-on-bone contact, stem cells can help regrow the cartilage and alleviate pressure on the joint, ultimately reducing pain and inflammation.

The treatment also promotes the production of collagen, which is essential for maintaining the strength and flexibility of the joint.

We tailor the stem cell therapy to each patient’s specific needs. This ensuries that the treatment is effective in healing damaged tissue, improving knee function, and restoring mobility.

With this regenerative approach, patients can experience significant relief and improved quality of life. It also delays or even avoids the need for knee replacement surgery.

PRP Therapy for Chronic Knee Conditions

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy as another cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment we offer for knee pain. Especially for patients dealing with tendonitis, and cartilage damage.

PRP therapy works by utilizing the body’s own healing properties to promote recovery in the knee joint. The treatment involves concentrating the platelets from the patient's own blood. They are rich in growth factors that help stimulate tissue repair and reduce inflammation.

When injected into the affected knee area, these growth factors encourage the regeneration of damaged tissues. It also improves blood flow and accelerates healing. This provides lasting pain relief and improved joint function.

The process of PRP therapy is simple and minimally invasive, consisting of three key steps:

Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient’s arm. This blood is then processed to isolate the platelets, which are the key healing components.

Centrifugation: The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge, which spins rapidly to separate the platelets from other components of the blood. This results in a concentrated plasma that is rich in growth factors and healing proteins.

Injection: The prepared PRP is carefully injected directly into the affected knee area. Once injected, the growth factors in the PRP begin to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. It promotes tissue regeneration, reducing pain, and improving joint function. Over time, the knee joint becomes stronger, with less inflammation and improved mobility.

By using PRP therapy, we help patients avoid invasive surgeries and provides a natural, effective solution for long-term knee pain relief.
