Non-Surgical Knee Pain Treatment Options

Depending on your condition, your care plan may include:

 

PRP Therapy for Knee Pain

PRP Therapy may be used to support healing and recovery in certain knee conditions by using a concentrated portion of your own blood.

 

Stem Cell Therapy for Knee Pain

Stem Cell Therapy with MFAT or BMAC may be considered for certain orthopedic knee conditions after a detailed evaluation.

 

Shockwave Therapy and EMTT

Energy-based therapies may be used to support tissue response and comfort when appropriate.

 

Physical Therapy Collaboration

Many knee pain patients benefit from strength, stability, and movement work. Maple Medical can coordinate with physical therapists when appropriate.

 

 

Common Causes of Knee Pain

Common causes of knee pain include osteoarthritis, meniscus injuries, ligament or tendon irritation, cartilage wear, bursitis, and inflammation from overuse or repetitive stress. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes, occurring when the protective cartilage in the knee gradually breaks down and leads to joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility.

Knee pain may develop slowly over time or appear suddenly after a twist, fall, sports injury, or increased activity. Whether the pain is caused by degeneration, inflammation, or soft tissue damage, it can make everyday movements like walking, climbing stairs, standing, or exercising more difficult.

 

What to Expect

Your consultation includes a detailed review of your symptoms, previous care, activity goals, and treatment history. Dr. Blatz will explain what may be causing your knee pain and recommend a plan based on your needs.

Before treatment begins, our team will review expected costs and available payment pathways.
