The pillars of our treatment
Four therapies that reinforce each other
Each plan combines knee decompression, cold laser, ultrasound and the Cranial Release Technique (TLC) to reduce pain, control inflammation and restore mobility.
Knee decompression
Controlled mechanical traction that gently separates femur and tibia to create a joint vacuum effect.
Cold laser
Low-intensity light that reduces inflammation and stimulates tissue repair. Included at no extra cost.
Therapeutic ultrasound
Sound waves that increase local blood flow, relax muscles and support cellular regeneration.
Cranial Release (TLC)
A gentle technique that releases tension in the dura mater — the membrane protecting the entire nervous system, including the nerves of the knee.
Focused shock wave
Advanced technology for deep joint pain. Coming soon to our clinic.
Active physical therapy
Strengthens quadriceps, hamstrings and glutes to offload the joint and prevent recurrence.
How it works
Knee decompression in 4 steps
A simple, comfortable process built to address pain at its source.
Step 01· 30–45 min
Evaluation
Clinical history, functional exam and review of imaging to confirm the source of knee pain and build a personalized plan.
Step 02· 15–30 min
Controlled traction
Your leg is secured to a motorized device that delivers gentle, intermittent cycles of traction and relaxation across the joint.
Step 03· Throughout the session
Joint decompression
The gentle separation between femur and tibia creates a vacuum effect inside the joint capsule, drawing in oxygen and nutrient-rich synovial fluid.
Step 04· Follow-up sessions
Rehabilitation
We pair decompression with cold laser, ultrasound, cranial release and guided exercise to lock in relief and prevent recurrence.
