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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used Dr. Blatz several times since 2021 for knee, SI joint, and most recently for tears in my shoulder.  I have had PRP with stem cell injections, shock wave and EMTT therapy.  I live in SW Washington yet the drive to Lake Oswego is not a problem for me since I have full trust in Dr. Blatz's work.  The team at Maple Medical is excellent in my opinion.  Cole is responsive to every message- Annee is superb at shockwave therapy focusing on patient comfort yet accomplishing goals specific to therapy needs.  Lexi also put me at ease with my procedure and works seamlessly with Dr. Blatz.  I consider Dr. Blatz to be an important part of my medical care team along with his staff.  In conversations with other people, I have heard various results about experiences in offices that would be closer to my area that provide these services.  It has been my experience that Dr. Blatz spends the time with you to answer your questions even throughout the procedure!  His knowledge of PRP and his love of his work is evident.  I have had excellent results from Dr. Blatz and his team and will continue to use them if the need arises.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Blatz has given me the best chance to live my life pain free and with the ability to physically do the things I haven’t been able to. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient and kind. I am grateful for all the information he provided when asked, from literature to detailed explanations. I felt so grateful to have found a provider for my condition who is such an expert in his field along with an attentive, caring bedside manner.
His entire office staff is just as caring. They are all knowledgeable and excellent at what they do. The connections with each felt personal and the level of communication so reassuring.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a stem cell procedure done by Dr. Blatz on one of my knees. Long story short, I had a long history of degenerative issues. I had done lots of PT, am too young for certain other interventions, but it still continued to worsen. After the procedure done by Dr. Blatz, I was able to do simple things like sit and stand and walk on stairs with no pain in my knee (this was after having nearly 10 years of pain). Not only that, but he knew my goals of keeping up certain activities and I progressed back into those activities as he said I would. Having Dr. Blatz do that procedure was 100% the best decision. He and his staff also closely monitored my recovery and rehab. Also, at this point, I think I have interacted with everyone at his office. They are all great. His office is very responsive. He fit me in same day recently on very short notice for an unrelated new injury, and he got the MRI I needed very quickly and the appropriate referrals that I needed. Also, the shockwave treatment they do was great at reducing pain levels for me during recovery.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had a great experience with Maple Medical and Dr. Blatz. He is extremely thorough in his assessments and takes the time to really understand the root cause of injuries rather than just treating symptoms. I have used shockwave and EMTT treatments and have had excellent results for recovery and pain improvement. His knowledge, attention to detail, and personalized approach really stands out. Highly recommend for anyone looking for thoughtful, cutting-edge care focused on recovery and long-term healing.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a professional guitarist. I was unable to play guitar for 15 months due to an injury to my left wrist. I had seen many other doctors and therapists, from chiropractors to acupuncturists to orthopedic surgeons, and nobody could treat my wrist injury. I found Dr Blatz by searching for PRP therapy. He treated my wrist, and in 4 weeks the injury was healed. It's been 2-1/2 years now and I've been playing guitar regularly again all that time without pain. Dr Blatz restored my music career!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Maple Medical has been great. The front desk folks, Cole & Lexi, are uniformly helpful.......Dr Blatz has been a wonderful ally. He doesn't over-promise and is realistic in our conversations. He has explained that my condition is a stubborn one (Don't I know it!) but from the start told me he believed they could help me and they have. He also is very positive and good humored. The condition has been with me for years so you don't get overnight success and I have had to be patient and now am seeing positive results....... Annee is my clinician and performs the shockwave treatment. She has been very professional and approachable at the same time. Some days it's not a walk in the park but the discomfort is fleeting. For instance, I drive to and from my appointments with no problem and the condition is in my foot. Professional, smart, honest, people is a great place to start. I am now back walking at a pace and distances that is very satisfying and am encouraged that it will continue on a positive trajectory.
