Knee Pain Doctor Near Ann Arbor, MI

Your Body Is Powerful And Is The Key To Effective Knee Pain Treatment

The knee is one of the most complete joints in the human body. Therefore, a complex solution may answer this riddle of pain your body is putting you through. However, you already have the answer to your knee pain, and it is within you. The human body is a remarkable feat of bio-engineering, and like many other mammals on earth, we have the means to regenerate damaged structures within the body automatically. While the human body doesn’t have the same level of regeneration as something like a lizard, which can regenerate its tail, our bodies can still do a lot to heal us from painful conditions.

For people living with arthritis, you may already be aware of the soft padding that surrounds joints, keeping bone from rubbing on bone and reducing friction while moving. It is just one example of the body naturally protecting himself, but what happens if you lose all that cushioning? That is where knee pain doctors at the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine come into play. Through interventional orthopedics and a wide array of available knee pain treatments, we aim to relieve your pain through natural means and replace what you may have lost to time or injury. Some of our most popular procedures for knee pain treatment include the following:

Stem Cell Therapies: Stem cells are the foundation of all specialized cells in our body and are the very beginning state of regenerative therapies. By harvesting stem cells, these cells can then be grown and injected into specific tissue groups. Regarding knee pain, stem cells can be used to replace deteriorated cartilage or as a baseline for damaged tendons around the knee. Stem cell therapy is a long-term solution that takes some time to harvest and grow but represents a significant investment in yourself when you start the procedure.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatments: Another specialty at the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments. Simpler than stem cell treatments, PRP uses a simple blood draw, which is then spun in a centrifuge, enriching the platelets. The platelets are then injected into the knee, allowing for a targeted infusion of healing blood directly into the root of your pain.

Other Therapies: Depending upon your specific condition and reason for coming in to see a knee pain doctor, we may recommend a combination of the above therapies or one of our other procedures, which include prolotherapy and physician appointments.

“The treatment that I received from Dr. Nabity was life changing. I am a member in the military and due to a back injury that I sustained in the military. I was presented with the choice to either have back surgery or get out of the military. Dr. Nabity treated my back with Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy and results have been amazing. My disc herniation’s have decreased to half the size and I am able to work out and run again. I have since been able to stay in the military continue to serve. I could not hold Dr. Nabity in higher regards he literally saved my career and increased my quality of life tenfold.” – Nick Port Huron, MI
