KNEE PAIN DOES NOT MEANYOU NEED KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY!
HEALTH CANADA APPROVED MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY IS AVAILABLE LOCALLY
Currently, an estimated 10 million people suffer from knee osteoarthritis, making it one of the most common causes of disability in North America. It is estimated by the year 2030, 72 million North Americans will be at high risk for osteoarthritis. Patients with chronic joint pain often think nothing can be done to help them except surgery. Knee replacement surgery is indeed necessary for some people, but as we have seen with many of our patients, and suspect with so many others, there is an non-invasive approach to relieving knee pain and avoiding surgery.
A person with knee pain knows how often it gets in the way of doing the things they want and need to do in daily life. Because the knee is a weight bearing joint, knee pain affects almost everything we do that requires mobility, including those things most of us have usually taken for granted.
For many, knee pain makes it hurt to walk, stand, stoop, get out of a chair, or to go up or down stairs. Additionally, routine activities of living, work, social and recreational activities are often inhibited, restricted or avoided because of knee pain.
If you have been suffering from constant or intermittent knee pain that just won’t go away no matter how much pain killers you take, don’t worry - there is another option. If you have tried other treatments and experienced little to no relief, you may still be a candidate for our treatment Program. Call (604) 265-6094 and schedule a no-obligation screening today!
If you have never had this specific laser technology before, you may be wondering how this treatment works and whether it can make a difference. Below are answers to three of your most frequently asked questions:
How Does High Power Deep Tissue Laser Work?
High Power Deep Tissue Laser delivers deep, penetrating, photonic (light) energy to bring about noticeable physiological changes. Inflammation and pain reduced at the site of pain. These changes in cellular chemistry are triggered by the deep tissue laser.
During the treatment the patient may feel a warm sensation. This sensation reassures the patient that the laser is stimulating cellular activity. As a noninvasive tool, the laser is particularly utilized for the treatment of soft tissue injuries, and a variety of other ailments and pain.
New lasers have entered the North American market that provide deeper tissue penetration, higher power densities and reliable electronics to achieve better clinical outcomes. High Power Deep Tissue Laser reaches deep into the tissues and enhances metabolic activity at the cellular level, without generating tissue-damaging heat.
This highest grade therapeutic laser, approved by Health Canada in 2008, is capable of deep tissue penetration of up to 4 to 5 inches for intra-articular tissues inside of the knee joints.
In Knee Arthritis, the cartilage breaks down and wears away leaving the bones to rub together causing pain, swelling, and stiffness and limiting the range of motion in affected joints. Signs and Symptoms of Knee Osteoarthritis Early on in the disease, often no joint pain exists As the disease process affects more of the joint the patient may experience reduced / limited ranges of motion Aching joint pain Morning stiffness Red, swollen and inflamed knee joint

It’s about MORE than JUST Knee Pain
At Vancouver Spine & Disc Centre, it’s very important to understand we are not just addressing knee pain. Our goal is to give you the best possible chance of preventing Knee Replacement Surgery in the future, which is what knee arthritis frequently evolves into if left undetected and unaddressed.
For this reason, we encourage you to schedule an appointment to determine if you are a candidate for High Power Deep Tissue Laser for knee arthritis, you can always have invasive procedures performed later.
