Understanding Knee Replacement and Its Challenges

It’s understandable why so many seek a viable and effective alternative to knee replacement. First, you have all the drawbacks associated with any surgery: 

• Added pain
• Anesthesia
• Additional tissue damage
• Scar tissue
• Risk of complications
• Lengthy and painful recovery
• Narcotics

But knee replacement surgery carries additional concerns. Studies show that 85% of knee replacements last 20 years. And, although more women get knee replacements than men, men typically have a worse experience, with: 

• 31% greater risk of severe infection
• 25% greater chance of being readmitted to the hospital within 30 days
• 48% greater risk of death within a year
• 20% greater chance of repeating the surgery within the first five years

Regenerative medicine has none of these drawbacks. Together with its success rate, this helps make regenerative treatments a highly effective alternative to knee replacement.

Regenerative Medicine: A Promising Alternative

Regenerative medicine offers the benefits of knee replacement without surgery. There is no cutting involved and no tissue damage caused, so there are: 

• No added pain
• No anesthesia
• No additional tissue damage
• No scar tissue
• No risk of complications
• No lengthy and painful recovery
• No narcotics

Instead, regenerative therapy works with your body, harnessing its innate healing and repair mechanisms. The treatment galvanizes the body’s natural healing processes while providing essential support and cellular building blocks necessary for effective tissue repair.

Think of knee replacement as ripping out a struggling plant by its roots to plant a new one in its place. The torn roots and new transplant have a lot of trauma to recover from. On the other hand, regenerative therapy cultivates the soil and fertilizes the plant, giving it the care and nourishment necessary for it to thrive. This is what makes regenerative therapy an excellent alternative to knee replacement surgery.

The Benefits of Choosing Regenerative Medicine Over Knee Replacement Surgery

• Less Invasive and More Natural: Because regenerative therapy is not invasive, you’ll have no risks of complications and no scar tissue.
• Faster Recovery and Reduced Downtime: No added tissue damage means no added pain and no lengthy recovery time. You won’t have to miss a day of work with a regenerative alternative to knee replacement.
• Long-Term Pain Relief and Improved Mobility: Where knee replacement gives you new components that can wear out, regenerative therapy improves your knee health and function.

Learn from our QC Kinetix® testimonials on how we have helped others. Watch Bill Jonson describe his “life-changing” results with regenerative medicine through QC Kinetix. Two years ago, after five surgeries on his knee failed to deliver the long-term results he needed, his doctors proposed a sixth. Bill chose regenerative therapy as an alternative to knee replacement.

He was so thrilled with his results that he came back for therapy on his shoulder and now on his back.

What to Expect from Regenerative Knee Treatments

When you come to QC Kinetix for regenerative treatments, we begin with a free consultation where we fully evaluate the condition of your knee(s). We don’t want to waste your time, so we first verify that the nature of your injury makes you a good candidate for pain relief through regenerative medicine. Once this is established, you will be assigned a patient advocate who will walk you through the regenerative procedures we offer, which are highly successful alternatives to knee replacement. We will answer all your questions about how regenerative medicine can help you.

Treatments typically take between 30 and 90 minutes to complete in our office. There is minimal discomfort and no need for anesthesia or narcotics. You can drive yourself to and from the treatment appointment. Expect to feel a bit tired for the rest of the day and the next. You may be advised to avoid heavy lifting or vigorous exercise for a couple of days before returning to your routine.

While some patients experience improvement in their symptoms within weeks, for most, it can take a few months. It can take up to nine months for the full effects of the regenerative treatment to be realized. It’s vital to continue to follow up with your treatment protocol and with any rehabilitation exercise recommendations.

Of course, the best way to know whether your specific knee injury or condition can be repaired by regenerative medicine is to schedule your free consultation and to meet with us. But you can determine right now whether regenerative knee replacement alternatives appeal to you.
