Speaker 1 (00:05):
Welcome back everyone. Today, we're talking about something that could
be genuinely transformative for anyone dealing with chronic knee pain.
Did you know that about twenty five percent of adults
over forty five report frequent knee pain. That's millions of
people looking for relief beyond the traditional options, right.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
And that's exactly why I'm so excited to talk about
what's happening here in Debois. You know, chronic knee pain
has become one of the most common disabling conditions in
the country. For years, patients have been stuck between managing
symptoms with medications and injections, or facing surgery as their
only long term option.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
So what's changed? What makes this breakthrough treatment different from
what people have tried before.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Well, until shockwave treatment became more widely available, surgery was
often considered the only long term alternative for many patients.
But now we're seeing something completely different, a non invasive
approach that actually stimulates the body's own healing response.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Mm hmm. That's fascinating. How does this shockwave therapy actually work?

Speaker 2 (01:11):
It's fascinating. Really. The treatment uses focused energy bursts, kind
of like what was originally developed for breaking up kidney stones,
but adapted from musculoskeletal conditions. These acoustic waves penetrate deeply
into the injured tissue and create what we call microtrauma,
which sounds scary but actually encourages increased blood flow and

(01:33):
recruits healing factors and stem cells to the area.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
And I understand the success rates are pretty impressive. We're
talking about high response rates here.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
What's really remarkable is that many patients experience significant improvement,
with success rates for shockwave therapy for knee pain ranging
from sixty five percent to eighty five percent, depending on
the condition being treated. Early response to treatment is a
positive indicator of pentential benefit from the full course. And
here's the thing. That first session is highly predictive of success.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Have you ever wondered why some people respond so well
while others don't. What makes the difference?

Speaker 2 (02:13):
That's a great question. We start with what we call
a mapping session, where we locate the painful hotspots while
the patient is awake. This lets us target treatment precisely
where it's needed most. I had one patient who came
in barely able to climb stairs. During that first mapping session,
we identified three specific areas causing most of her trouble,

(02:35):
and she walked out feeling noticeably better.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
That point about targeting specific hotspots sets up our next piece,
the comprehensive treatment approach. But first a quick word from
our sponsor.

Speaker 3 (02:48):

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Might be right for you picking up on those targeted hotspots.
What does a full treatment program typically look like.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Usually we're looking at eight to twelve sessions spread over
two to three months. The treatments are lower energy and
targeted pain is kept to a minimum and only for
the purpose of targeting the energy. What's interesting is that
we can help people with a wide range of knee problems,
from meniscal injuries to advance osteoarthritis, even in those bone
on bone cases where cartilage is severely worn, many patients

(03:52):
get months of mark pain relief.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
I see makes sense, And there are some complementary approaches
you combine with the shockwave.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Their ay.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Absolutely, we integrate what we call healing walking basically gate
retraining to reduce joint stress, along with nutrition guidance for
low inflammation, eating and other techniques to promote healing and
reduce inflammation. When you combine these strategies with a shockwave
acoustic waves, we often see that eighty five to ninety
percent improvement rate and the results tend to last longer too.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
That's incredible. So to everyone listening who might be dealing
with knee pain, what makes someone a good candidate for
this treatment?

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Well, if traditional treatments haven't helped, or if you want
to avoid repeated injections or surgery, this is definitely worth considering.
The beauty is that we can essentially test the waters
with that first treatment. Since early response is such a
strong predictor of long term benefit, you'll know pretty quickly
if this approach is going to work for you.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
You know, it's funny people always ask me if there's
a magic bullet for pain relief and I usually have
to disappoint them. But this sounds pretty close to magic,
doesn't it.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Well, it's not magic, but the science behind it is
pretty amazing. The treatment stimulates fluid release and improved lubrication
from the bone, which is why even severely worn joints
can feel dramatically better. It's basically helping your body remember
how to heal itself.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Why isn't this technology more widely known. It sounds like
professional sports teams are using it.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
That's exactly right. It's increasingly used in professional sports because
of how effective it is. But here's the thing. It's
not widely available in the general medical community because insurance
coverage is still limited. So many people simply haven't heard
of it, and unfortunately, most doctors aren't familiar with this
technology yet.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
So we've established that this treatment offers real hope for
people who've been dealing with chronic knee pain. What would
you say to someone who's been through the traditional system
and experienced its limitations.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
I'd say this chronic knee pain doesn't have to be
life limiting anymore. This therapy produces rapid symptom relief for
most patients and actually induces biological healing that improves function.
In other words, it's not just masking pain, it's promoting
actual healing. For many people, it can delay or even
help them avoid surgery altogether.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
That's such an important message for anyone interested in learning
more about these breakthrough treatments available in the Dubois area.
