Question 1

What is non-surgical knee decompression?

Accepted Answer

It is a therapy that uses controlled mechanical traction to gently separate femur and tibia. This relieves intra-articular pressure, reduces joint stress and stimulates the natural healing of tissue.

Question 2

Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is a non-invasive, painless procedure performed with parameters personalized for each patient. Your leg is secured to a motorized device and you remain comfortable throughout.

Question 3

How long is each session?

Accepted Answer

Between 15 and 30 minutes per knee. You can resume daily activities right after.

Question 4

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

A typical plan is 2 to 3 sessions per week for 4 to 8 weeks depending on severity. Chronic cases may extend to 24 sessions over 2 months.

Question 5

When will I feel improvement?

Accepted Answer

Many patients notice relief within the first sessions. Consolidated results typically appear between session 4 and 8 as the joint regains mobility.

Question 6

How much does the treatment cost?

Accepted Answer

A single session costs $1,300 MXN. We offer a prepaid package that significantly reduces the total cost. Most patients prefer it, though pay-per-session is also available.

Question 7

Do cold laser and ultrasound cost extra?

Accepted Answer

No. Cold laser is included in your plan at no additional cost. Ultrasound is also part of the protocol when needed.

Question 8

What is Cranial Release (TLC) and why do you use it?

Accepted Answer

It is a gentle technique that releases tension in the dura mater, the membrane protecting the nervous system. Because the nerves serving the knee are also protected by it, releasing that tension helps patients recover faster.

Question 9

Do you already have focused shock wave?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. We are preparing the investment in a focused (not radial) shock wave system to add to the protocol. We'll let you know when it's available.

Question 10

Is it a real alternative to surgery?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes. Our integrative plan — decompression, physical modalities, cranial release and physical therapy — controls pain and restores mobility before considering surgery.

Question 11

Do I need to bring previous imaging?

Accepted Answer

If you have a recent MRI, X-ray or CT scan, bring it. If not, we'll guide you on which studies to request.

Question 12

Are there contraindications?

Accepted Answer

Decompression is not recommended in recent fractures, active infections, joint tumors or certain prostheses. That's why the initial evaluation is essential.
