Non-Surgical Treatment: Knee Decompression

Knee decompression is a non-surgical treatment that aims to relieve pain and improve joint function in individuals with knee pain. It involves the use of a specialized table or device that gently stretches and decompresses the knee joint.

The goal of knee decompression is to create space between the joint surfaces of the knee, which can help to reduce pressure and improve blood flow, nutrient exchange, and healing within the joint. The decompression is typically achieved through the application of traction or negative pressure to the knee joint, which can be controlled and adjusted according to the individual patient's needs.

Knee decompression is often used to treat a variety of knee conditions, including osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, patellar tendonitis, and other forms of knee pain. It may be used alone or in combination with other therapies such as physical therapy, medication, and injections.

It's important to note that knee decompression may not be appropriate or effective for all individuals with knee pain, and it should only be performed under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. If you are experiencing knee pain, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
