Chronic knee pain has a way of taking over your life. Simple things—walking the dog, going up stairs, or standing to cook dinner—can become agonizing. What once were everyday activities can suddenly feel like impossible tasks. Over time, the pain may not only wear down your joints, but your spirit, too.
At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we see patients every day who are at the end of their rope. They’ve been told by well-meaning providers that a knee replacement is their only option, and that they should “just get it over with.” But surgery is no small decision—especially when it comes with weeks or months of recovery, potential complications, and a real risk of not getting the results you hoped for.
There are safe, effective, minimally invasive alternatives to knee replacement that are helping people just like you get back to living. From targeted physical therapy and regenerative injections to innovative postural correction and personalized pain management—you may not need surgery to feel better.
Our team at Medici is deeply committed to finding the least invasive, least drug-dependent path toward relief and mobility. Every knee—and every person—is different. That’s why we start with understanding your unique condition, goals, and lifestyle to build a care plan that restores your quality of life without jumping straight to the operating room.
Movement is medicine. One of the most powerful tools we use to manage and reverse chronic knee pain is customized physical therapy. Our licensed specialists build personalized plans based on your unique biomechanics, medical history, and goals.
Many of our patients find that with consistent therapy, they can delay or completely avoid surgery—even with moderate to advanced arthritis.
Sometimes, the body needs a little help kickstarting its healing process. That’s where targeted, image-guided injections come in. These treatments are minimally invasive, typically performed in-office, and require little to no downtime.
These anti-inflammatory injections offer rapid, short-term relief for acute flare-ups of knee pain. While not a long-term solution, they can provide the window of relief needed to pursue physical therapy or lifestyle changes.
Also known as a “gel injection,” this treatment helps lubricate and cushion the joint, improving movement and reducing pain—particularly in patients with early to moderate osteoarthritis.
PRP uses your body’s own healing cells. We draw a small amount of your blood, concentrate the platelets (which contain growth factors), and inject them directly into the damaged knee. This helps stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote healing—especially helpful in cases of cartilage damage, meniscus tears, or tendonitis.
This regenerative technique involves injecting a natural irritant into the knee, which stimulates the body’s healing response. Prolotherapy can strengthen ligaments, repair soft tissue, and improve joint stability over time—without the use of drugs or surgery.
One of the most exciting frontiers in non-surgical orthopaedic care is regenerative medicine—the use of biologically active substances to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we utilize cutting-edge therapies like stem cells and biologics to help restore function and reduce pain without surgery.
Whether you're an athlete hoping to stay active or someone looking to avoid joint replacement altogether, regenerative medicine may be the breakthrough solution you've been hoping for.
Believe it or not, your knee pain might not be coming from your knee at all. Many patients suffer from referred pain—discomfort that starts elsewhere in the body but shows up in the knee. At Medici, we look at the full biomechanical picture, not just the obvious symptoms.
By addressing the underlying causes of improper movement and load-bearing, we help patients achieve lasting relief—even when previous knee-focused treatments have failed.
Sometimes, the key to relieving knee pain is redistributing pressure within the joint. At Medici, we utilize custom bracing and orthotic solutions designed to support the knee and improve alignment during movement.
One of the most underestimated but powerful tools in knee pain management is lifestyle change—especially weight reduction and nutrition.
At Medici, we treat patients with compassion, not judgment. We’ll meet you where you are and build a realistic, supportive path toward better health—without crash diets or unrealistic goals.
Healing isn’t always about machines or medications. Sometimes, the most effective therapies involve restoring natural movement and circulation to the body. That’s why we offer a range of alternative modalities that complement traditional treatments beautifully.
A gentle, hands-on technique that relieves tension in the fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles and joints). This therapy helps restore mobility, reduce referred pain, and enhance circulation around the knee.
Our skilled therapists use targeted massage to reduce muscle tightness, improve flexibility, and support joint alignment. Regular sessions can significantly reduce pain, especially in active individuals or those with overuse injuries.
HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, increasing oxygen delivery to damaged tissues. It accelerates healing, reduces inflammation, and is especially helpful for chronic pain or post-injury recovery. This therapy is a unique and powerful offering at Medici.
Living with chronic knee pain doesn’t mean you’re destined for the operating table. At Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, we understand that every knee—and every patient—is unique. That’s why we offer a wide range of minimally-invasive, drug-free, and evidence-based treatments that work together to relieve pain, restore function, and improve your quality of life without the risks or downtime of knee replacement surgery.
