Knee Pain

Avoid the Pain and Downtime of Knee Surgery.

Get Back to Where You Need to Be

Knee pain is the second most common cause of chronic pain in adults. The challenge that comes with treating knee pain is the knee’s complexity. Think about the knee for a moment: its bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves are combined and connected in an incredibly complex way.

Treating this type of chronic pain requires the personalized and innovative treatments provided by Dr. Orlando Landrum at Cutting Edge Integrative Pain Centers, ranging from conservative therapies to radiofrequency ablation and regenerative procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What commonly causes knee pain?

Your knee is vulnerable to injuries because it sustains a significant amount of movement while bearing your weight. Knee pain is often due to overuse or acute injuries, inflamed ligaments and tendons, arthritis, and damage to cartilage in your knee.

How is knee pain treated?

Dr. Landrum focuses on the whole person and develops a customized treatment to address every factor contributing to your knee pain. Intra-articular fluoroscopic, ultrasound-guided injections to reduce inflammation and relieve pain, physical therapy, and minimally invasive surgery are just three examples of treatment options.

At Cutting Edge Integrative Pain Centers you also have access to today’s most advanced procedures such as regenerative medicine and COOLIEF® radiofrequency treatment.

What is COOLIEF®?

Cutting Edge Integrative Pain Centers is the only practice in our area offering COOLIEF radiofrequency treatment.

This innovative method improves functioning and relieves chronic pain in your knees, hip and back for up to two years.

It was also cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat moderate to severe knee pain caused by osteoarthritis.

As COOLIEF® sends radiofrequency waves into pain-causing sensory nerves, it heats the nerves, which deactivates them and blocks the pain. At the same time, the device cools down with circulating water, so it treats the nerves without overheating other tissues.

What regenerative procedures are used to treat knee pain?

Dr. Landrum proudly offers advanced regenerative treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and Regenexx® SD which is Bone Marrow Concentrate, which contains stem cells. 

Dr. Landrum extracts platelets and bone marrow concentrate, then concentrates them in the office using the latest technology to ensure optimal doses. He then injects them directly into the site of injured or diseased tissues in your knee.

PRP and Regenexx® SD (which is Bone Marrow Concentrate, which contains stem cells) naturally promote healing by triggering the growth of new tissues to replace the damaged or degenerated tissues in your knees.

Relieving your pain and helping you regain optimal function is Dr. Landrum’s specialty—to schedule an appointment, call Cutting Edge Integrative Pain Centers or book an appointment online.
