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.

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.

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.

Platelet-Rich Plasma

Are you seeking an innovative, non-surgical solution for pain relief, injury recovery, or rejuvenation? Platelet-Rich Plasma could be what you are looking for.

Platelet-Rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a cutting-edge, regenerative medicine treatment that leverages the natural healing abilities of your own blood to facilitate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote overall wellness.

We have proven PRP programs for a wide variety of conditions related to joint pain:

Aside from treating chronic or degenerative conditions, we also use PRP for skin rejuvenation, like PRP facials.

Unlock Your Body’s Healing Potential with Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative medicine treatment that utilizes your body’s natural healing capabilities to promote tissue repair and alleviate pain.The benefits of PRP therapy include minimal downtime, low risk of side effects, and a high success rate.

Since PRP therapy utilizes your body’s own healing mechanisms, it is a safe and effective treatment option for many individuals who wish to avoid surgery or medications.With PRP therapy, you can unlock your body’s healing potential and enjoy long-lasting relief from pain and discomfort.

The PRP Process

Our skilled and experienced medical team ensures the PRP therapy process is safe, efficient, and effective.

The procedure entails the following steps:

  • Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is collected from your arm.
  • Centrifugation: The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge, which separates the PRP from other blood components.
  • PRP Extraction: The platelet-rich plasma is extracted and prepared for injection.
  • PRP Injection: The PRP is carefully injected into the targeted area under ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance.

The entire process takes approximately 1-2 hours, and you can expect to resume your normal activities shortly after treatment. At Pioneer Sports & Pain Center, you’re placing your trust in a team of compassionate, highly-trained medical professionals who prioritize your well-being.

Our state-of-the-art facility ensures a comfortable, clean, and safe environment for your PRP treatment.

Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT)

Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT) is a non-invasive, highly effective treatment option for various tendon, muscle, and joint disorders, particularly chornic ocnditions where healing has been a delayed or disrupted by dysfunctional tissue. It works by delivering acoustic wave pulsations to the injured area, stimulation the body’s natural healing processes.

How Shockwave Therapy Works:
  1. Application of Acoustic Pulses: During a session, shockwave therapy uses high energy sound waves to deliver intense, short bursts of pressure to the affected area, These waves are directed through the skin, typically using a gel medium to enhance transmission of the waves. 
  2. Breakdown of Dysfunction Tissue: The mechanical energy from the shockwaves causes microtrauma in the dysfunctional or scar tissue at the site of injury. This process breaks down the unhealthy, disorganized tissue, which is often the result of chronic injuries or repetitive strain. 
  3. Simulation of Blood Flow: The shockwaves help to increase local blood circulation, which is critical for the healing process. Improved blood flow brings in nutrients, oxygen, and other essential components that aid tissue repair and regeneration. 
  4. Activation of Healing Processes: As the tissue is broken down and blood flow improves, the body responds by stimulation the local metabolism, boosting the product of collagen and other healing factors, and promotion the formation of healthy, organized tissue in place of the dysfunctional tissue. 

Conditions Treated by Shockwave Therapy:

Tendon Disorders: Conditions like tendinitis (e.g., rotator cuff tendinitis, Achilles tendinitis), tennis elbow, and plantar fasciitis are commonly treated with shockwave therapy, as these conditions involve chronic inflammation and degenerated tissue. 

Muscle and Joint Disorders: Chronic muscle pain, myofascial pain syndrome, and joint dysfunctions like hip or shoulder pain can be treated with shockwave therapy to encourage healing and reduce pain. 

Calcific Tendinopathy: Shockwave therapy is particularly effect for breaking down the calcium deposits in tendons, such as those found in shoulder rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy. 

Scar Tissue and Adhesions: Shockwave therapy can also address post-surgical scar tissue and adhesions that can limit mobility and cause chronic pain.

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy:

Non-invasive: Unlike surgeries or injections, shockwave therapy doesn’t require any incisions, making it a safer and more comfortable option. 

No Need for Medications: The therapy stimulates natural healing processes, reduction the need for pain medications or analgesics. 

Effect for Chronic Conditions: It’s particularly useful for conditions that are slow to heal or have become chronic, as it address dysfunctional tissue and helps to promote tissue regeneration. 

Minimal Downtime: Most patients experience little to no downtime after treatment, making it suitable for people with active lifestyles or those looking to avoid prolonged recovery periods.

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 gel injection 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 regenerating tissue, 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 hyaluronic acid 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.

Pioneer is hands down one of the best clinics I have ever gone to. My mom had just started going there and while I was visiting from Denver I was having a lot of pain and my mom suggested I get an appointment. I am so glad I did! I was impressed with the number of modalities they use and Dr. B helped me figure out in the first visit what the problem was (and it was NOT an easy one). I went several more times while in town and he helped me so much that I decided I would go ahead and return to Denver for some appointments and then fly back to have Dr. B and their amazing physical therapist, Cara, treat me for 3 weeks. The entire staff is amazing. The ladies at the front desk are so welcoming and helpful with scheduling, billing, and obviously care about the patients as well. I highly recommend you give them a try! I actually ended up referring my aunt and cousin to them as well. Thank you to everyone at Pioneer for giving me such excellent care!

This chiropractic office is amazing! They use many different modalities to address your pain. They go above and beyond by applying heat prior to any adjustments so that you feel relaxed and are able to be adjusted easier. They even text you a link with recommended exercises to get you back to feeling your best again. I highly recommend Dr. Elliot and Dr. Burtenshaw.
