Knee Osteoarthritis Program

The KOP program is designed for the patient with knee pain that has been bothersome for some time. This type of pain typically makes you “sore” or “stiff” in the morning, is painful after standing, getting up from a sitting position, and sometimes limits your ability to participate in your normal activities. Medication may help you, but the discomfort returns.

Knee pain of this type is difficult to manage and alleviate, but it can be done. This type of pain usually comes from “arthritis” of the knee. Although you cannot get rid of your arthritis, you can get rid of some or all of your pain.

The KOP program has been tailored for these patients. This program is very effective in alleviating or significantly decreasing knee pain that is caused by arthritis. What makes the program so successful is that the joint injection procedures re-lubricate the knee adding the “cushion” needed for weight bearing activities, like standing and walking. In addition, the injections will stimulate the cartilage in the knee to start producing more of the needed fluid, the “cushion.” The injections are combined with Therasizer Rehabilitation, a specific physical therapy program. This is how it works: while your pain is controlled and your knee is re-lubricated by the injections, you are able to move, stretch, and participate in the exercises and activities needed to strengthen and stabilize the knee.

This program is wonderful for decreasing your knee pain, reducing your need for medication, and improving your activity levels so that you can return to a better quality of life!
