How Can We Help You?

What Causes Knee
Pain?

Chronic knee pain is widely recognized by health care providers as one of the most difficult pain syndromes to manage and treat. We have been intensely working with people suffering with these symptoms for close to a decade.

Often after just a few treatments, patients with excruciating chronic knee pain – including bone on bone knee degeneration – are telling us AND SHOWING US how their pain levels, swelling, and stiffness have decreased while their walking strength has increased. They are SHOCKED and THRILLED with the results.

Is it hard for you to do activities like walking, bending, standing and lifting? What causes your knee pain?

  • The most common causes of knee pain are related to aging, injury, or repeated stress on the knee.
  • Common knee problems include sprained or strained ligaments, cartilage tears, tendonitis, and arthritis.
  • Diagnosing a knee injury or problem includes a medical examination and usually the use of a diagnostic procedure(s) such as an x-ray, MRI, CT scan or arthroscopy.
  • Both non-operative and surgical treatment options are available to treat knee pain and problems depending on the type and severity of the condition.

FOR FAST RELIEF

GenVisc850

GenVisc 850, also known as “Knee Gel”, is from a class of products known as hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate, or hyaluronan (HA), which is also referred to as viscosupplementation therapy. It’s used in a non-surgical procedure that helps supplement the viscous properties of the fluid in your knee joint. GenVisc 850 is approved for patients who have not adequately responded or have failed to find sufficient relief from simple analgesics, exercise or physical therapy. How does it work?

  • Reduces pain and inflammation
  • Re-lubricates the joint for better mobility
  • Realigns the joint for better mobility
  • Strengthens the joint for true, long-term relief
  • Enhances the healing of ligaments and tissues

The Go-To Option

“Visco”

Viscosupplementation consists of injection of exogenous hyaluronic acid into diarthrodial joints, with the aim of restoring the rheological properties of the synovial fluid, thereby producing mechanical, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective effects. Your relief from symptoms may last for several months. If viscosupplementation is effective for you, you may be able to repeat the injection (or series of injections) in 6 months or so.

Your Own Body’s Healing

Natural Therapies

A growing body of evidence has shown that using your own growth factors can be as effective (or more effective) than anti-inflammatory medications or cortisone, particularly in the early stages of arthritis. We offer several alternative approaches to knee pain that have our patients raving about the life-changing results.

There is Hope

Our Knee Pain Treatment Succeeds
Where Other Treatment
Methods Fail

Chronic knee pain can be agonizing. making it impossible to live a normal, active life. Sitting on the floor to play with kids or grandkids is unbearable when painful knees feel like they’re on fire. Even getting a good night’s sleep is rare when relentless knee pain throbs all night long. Daily activities that used to be second nature become burdensome when knees burn with every step. Being active and agile feels impossible when the knee pain just won’t go away. Continuing to ignore the pain may evolve into increased joint damage, disability, and pain. Healthy knees are essential for most normal activities. When knees are weakened or injured, it can be the most piercing joint pain known to man. Related conditions include arthritis, tendonitis, meniscus tears, crunching and popping sounds, and bursitis.

For people living with any of these painful symptoms, FDA-cleared GenVisc 650 therapy might be the best solution to finally help restore knees to normal and stop the pain and regain energy, steadiness, and flexibility.

At the core of our plan is a series of injections of a natural lubricant your body produces every day. This all-natural lubricant coats the knee joint to help the joint move smoothly once again.

Our modern therapy is a safe, gentle, and non-invasive treatment. It improves circulation, aids in aiding tissue growth, reduces swelling, and relieves pain.

This treatment is used by professional athletes and sports teams to accelerate recovery from injury.

This Stuff Works

Top 6 Benefits of Our Knee Treatments

We are amazed every day by the success our patients are experiencing! Our unique protocol for knee pain for osteoarthritis and chronic knee pain has enabled our patients to reduce or even eliminate knee pain of the worst kind. Our patients report the following top 6 benefits from our knee pain relief treatments:

01

Have More Energy

Knee pain takes over every aspect of your life. It’s hard to walk, enjoy time with friends, and even sleep. How many nights have you tossed and turned getting up with a throbbing knee? Our patients report having more energy and vitality after our treatments. Imagine how good you are going to feel without knee pain!

02

Improve Your Mobility

There is nothing worse than being unable to get around. Having to ask for help, use a walker, or even a wheelchair. Chronic knee pain can impact your ability to drive, go for healthy walks, and do the things you love like playing golf or spending time in the garden. Restore your ability to walk around and feel free to do whatever you want. Don’t waste another day living with pain.

03

No More Pills

Imagine no more waiting in line at the pharmacy. No more days feeling constipated and tired from the pain medication you have to take for your knee. Our patients experience fast and long- lasting relief with our knee pain treatments using GenVisc and natural therapies. Go ahead and plan that next vacation without worrying about whether or not you will have fun because of your pain. Freedom from pain is a simple phone call away.

04

Regain Your Ability to Exercise

We all know how important it is to exercise on a regular basis, something that is very difficult to do with chronic knee pain. We get it. It’s hard enough to stay motivated to exercise without the pain. After your treatment with us you should be able to start exercising again. Go on long walks, play ball, maybe get back out there on the golf course. Without pain, you can finally get back to do the things you love!

05

Improve Your Quality Of Life

We all understand that we have a limited amount of time here on Earth. How valuable is your time? How much is a day worth to you? Living in pain can feel as though you are not really “living” a life at all. You are frustrated, grumpy, and just plain worn-out from feeling pain all the time. Our knee treatment patients report having an increased feeling of vitality and aliveness. How would your life be different if you didn’t have to live with pain? We can’t wait for you to find out!

06

Wake Up Without Pain

When that alarm goes off, what is the first thing you think about? Is it your knee pain? That is the reality for some people, and the first sign that knee pain has taken over your life. Imagine waking up, lying there in bed and not having to wonder if that first step is going to be excruciating. You can get up, go to the bathroom, jump into the shower and get dressed; all without knee pain. These results are typical in our office and patients report waking up feeling refreshed and excited to start the day without pain.

This review is for the Flint office on Linden Rd. Just been through the consolation and everyone in the office and the Dr . were very friendly . I sure hope this works as they say it works . I have received 2 shots in my right knee and ITS WORKING! I have no pain and my balance is actually coming back . I go Wednesday for my 3 rd shot . The PA Wendy is awesome and extremely concerned about my pain . The staff in the Flint office is great . I’m so glad I visited and these injections are giving me my life back . 3rd injection and I think I’m not hurting in that knee as much as I did when I started. Walking is easier and now I have to build my stamina again . One day at a time is my motto

After knee reconstruction surgery a Nu Life rep Patrick Wilson came with equipment and ice machine. We were confused on how to use we called him 9pm and Patrick came over by 9:30pm. He stayed with us for 30 min. and made sure everything was set up properly and we were 100% comfortable. Excellent customer service rep. This company is blessed to have someone like Patrick. The next 16 days we called several times more and Patrick never lost patience with us and served us with such a good attitude and care. Just what a patient needed for healing and recovery. Thank you Patrick Wilson!

Today was the last of 5 injections at the clinic. I was a little skeptical when I first came in for the initial injection, but after 4 of them I could feel the difference. I’m not experiencing the pain that I once had. Wendy was great with the procedure and I had no pain from the injection. Jeanette was fun to work with in preparation for the procedure. Please forgive me for forgetting the receptionist name, but she’s been fantastic. I look to my 3 month check up and I think it will be great. Thank you all

I went to the office for my free consultation due to constant left knee pain. After walking I would need to sit, elevate my leg, use a rub and heating pad along with my Motrin and or Tylenol. After my first visit, at the Flint office, I was shocked at how much less pain I had. I have now completed my 5 injections, use my brace as instructed and have almost no pain. We walk about 3 miles, I walk steps without pain. The staff at the Flint office are great! The young lady doing the schedule helped make sure we got the visits scheduled as needed. The NP and her assistant were great, answering questions and making me comfortable. I can't thank them enough for all they did. Lindy Weaver

We had our consultation and the staff was great. The practitioner answered all my questions and laid out the next steps. I have not received any shots yet because they are checking with my insurance but I do believe that this team here in Berkley (the one off Southfield Rd) are qualified and ethical people. I look forward to the next steps.

Nu life medical is the best solution for people that have arthritis and knee pain. The Dr. Wanted me to get a knee replacement and I didn't feel comfortable with only a 50 percent chance it would be successful. I went to Nu life clinic and they helped me now I can do everything I couldn't do before. The staff is friendly and professional and scheduling was never a issue. Going to Nu life medical truly has been a blessing. I would recommend Nu life to anyone. G.Dowell

They were wonderful and knew exactly what I was going through with my knee and ankle. They treated me with respect and dignity. The whole experience was wonderful and I can't say enough about them. If you're worried about the treatment don't. It's very pain free. I had a treatment this morning, and this evening I was walking into the kitchen, and realized I wasn't thinking about my knee or my ankle.

I went to Nu Life Medical in Flint. I’ve been having terrible knee pain for a couple years+. Since going to NuLife, my knee pain is gone. I can go up and down stairs without pain, cracking, etc. in my knee and sleep at night with any pain. Now I’m going to let them do my left knee. The staff is very personable and professional. So far I’m very HAPPY with my results.
