Innovative Treatments for Knee Pain
Divergent Health’s Calgary Clinic is dedicated to helping you overcome knee pain. We provide a comprehensive approach to knee pain treatment, integrating multiple modalities:
Focused Shockwave Therapy
Focused Shockwave therapy delivers medium-intensity energy sound waves into the tissues around your knee joint. These waves stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, promoting blood flow and reducing inflammation. This can help break down scar tissue and promote tissue repair in areas like tendons and ligaments, ultimately leading to decreased pain and improved knee function.
Radial Shockwave Therapy
Radial shockwave therapy delivers high-energy acoustic waves to the affected area, triggering a healing response in the body. It can help alleviate pain by stimulating blood flow, promoting tissue regeneration, and reducing inflammation when applied to the knee. Over several sessions, patients often experience long-term pain reduction and enhanced function in the knee joint.
Robotic Laser Therapy
Laser therapy uses low-level laser light to stimulate cellular activity and promote tissue healing in the knee joint. This therapy helps to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and improve circulation in the affected area, leading to enhanced mobility and function. Laser therapy is a non-invasive and painless treatment option that can provide effective relief for knee pain without the need for medication or surgery.
TECAR Radio-frequency
TECAR therapy uses radio waves to generate heat deep within the tissues around your knee joint. This heat improves blood flow, which can reduce inflammation and promote healing. TECAR can also help relieve muscle tension and stiffness around the knee, contributing to a greater range of motion and reduced pain.
Medical Management
Medications can relieve symptoms while addressing underlying causes of knee pain, such as arthritis or injury. Medical management may also involve the use of supplements to support joint health and alleviate pain. Our team of skilled doctors and physiotherapists will customize a personalized approach specifically for you.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapists use manual techniques to improve flexibility and reduce muscle tension around the knee joint. They also create personalized exercise programs to strengthen the knee muscles, improving stability and reducing pain. This comprehensive approach helps restore proper knee function and get you moving comfortably again.
Chiropractic Therapy
Chiropractors focus on spinal alignment and joint mobility to alleviate knee stress. Through manual adjustments, they can loosen tight muscles and enhance flexibility in the knee joints, thereby reducing pain and stiffness. This holistic approach targets underlying imbalances contributing to knee pain, promoting overall healing and decreasing the risk of future issues.
ARX Omni Rehab Training
ARX Omni employs mechanical oscillations and vibrations to stimulate blood flow and encourage tissue regeneration in the knee area. This stimulation aids in reducing inflammation and promoting the healing of damaged tissues within the knee joint. Arx Omni helps relieve muscle tension and stiffness, enhancing flexibility and mobility in the knee.
ARX Alpha Strength Training
Through precise delivery of oscillations and vibrations, ARX Alpha stimulates blood flow and promotes tissue regeneration in the knee area. This process helps reduce inflammation and facilitates the healing of damaged tissues within the knee joint. ARX Alpha aids in relieving muscle tension and stiffness, leading to improved flexibility and mobility in the knee.
Platelet-Rich Plasma
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for knee pain involves injecting a concentrated solution of platelets, growth factors and healing components directly into the knee joint. These substances stimulate tissue repair and regeneration, reducing inflammation and promoting the repair of damaged tissues.
Knee Replacement Rehabilitation
Knee replacement rehabilitation gradually restores joint function using Continuous Passive Motion through targeted exercises. This strengthens the muscles around the knee and improves flexibility. It also reduces stiffness and swelling, enhancing mobility and overall knee function.
Injectable Pain Therapy
Injectable pain therapy involves administering medications such as corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid into the knee joint. Corticosteroids help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain, while hyaluronic acid acts as a lubricant and shock absorber that improves mobility and reduces discomfort.
Custom Orthotics
By correcting foot imbalances and redistributing pressure, custom orthotics help relieve pain and discomfort by reducing knee stress. They can improve biomechanical alignment, helping to prevent further strain or injury to the knee joints during physical activities.
Kinesiology
Kinesiology identifies muscular imbalances, weaknesses, or improper movement patterns contributing to the discomfort. Through targeted exercises and corrective movements, kinesiology aims to strengthen supportive muscles around the knee joint, improve flexibility, and enhance overall biomechanics. Additionally, kinesiologists may utilize manual therapy and proprioceptive training to address specific issues causing knee pain.
Rapid Neuro Fasical Reset
Rapid Neuro Fasical Reset (RNFR) targets the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles, which can become tight and restricted due to injury or overuse. By applying specific techniques to release tension in the fascia around the knee joint, RNFR aims to alleviate pressure and improve mobility. Additionally, RNFR incorporates neurological aspects, stimulating the nervous system to reset muscle function and reduce pain signals.
Causes & Symptoms of Knee Pain
Knee pain can come from many sources, including injury, trauma, or age-related cartilage degeneration and chronic conditions. Patellar tendinitis, known as “jumper’s knee,” causes pain below the kneecap, especially during activities like jumping or bending the knee. Osteoarthritis happens when knee cartilage breaks down over time, leading to discomfort, stiffness, and limited movement. Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease, causes knee joint inflammation, resulting in pain, swelling, and changes in the joint.
Symptoms of knee pain often include discomfort, swelling, or tenderness in and around the knee joint. Pain may be sharp, dull, or throbbing and can worsen with movement or weight-bearing activities. Individuals may also experience stiffness or instability in the knee joint, making it difficult to perform daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or standing for extended periods. In some cases, knee pain may radiate to other areas of the leg. It is important to seek a medical evaluation if you experience any of these symtoms.
