Request an AppointmentWhat Is Knee Decompression Therapy?
Knee decompression therapy is a modern, non-surgical treatment that uses specialized traction equipment to gently stretch and decompress the knee joint. Similar to spinal decompression, it slightly separates the bones of the knee to relieve pressure on cartilage, the meniscus, and surrounding tissues. This improves circulation and nutrient flow within the joint, stimulates tissue repair, and enhances joint function, all without surgery or downtime.
Conditions Treated With Knee Decompression Therapy
- Knee osteoarthritis – reducing pressure on arthritic knees to relieve pain and improve function
- Meniscus tears – supporting tissue healing and reducing discomfort
- Bursitis – decreasing inflammation in the cushioning sacs around the knee
- Knee joint degeneration – restoring joint health and mobility
- Chronic knee pain and stiffness
- Sports and pickleball injuries affecting the knee
Benefits of Knee Decompression Therapy
Patients often notice improved comfort and mobility soon after starting treatment. Benefits include effective relief from chronic and acute knee pain, restored natural range of motion, support for nerve health in patients with neuropathy, and a non-invasive approach that lets you avoid surgery and return quickly to daily activities.
A Step-by-Step Plan for Your Knees
We never rush the process. Treatment is carefully paced so your knee is never pushed beyond what it’s ready for. Knee decompression is often combined with cold laser therapy to calm inflammation, physical therapy to strengthen the muscles that support the knee, custom orthotics to improve leg alignment, and chiropractic care for the hips and lower back, which affect how your knees move. Nutrition and weight management can also reduce stress on the joint.
