Have you been suffering from knee pain that just won’t go away no matter how much ibuprofen you take? With knee arthritis, the cartilage breaks down and wears away leaving the bones to rub together, which causes pain, swelling, and stiffness, and limited range of motion in the affected joints.
When patients have “bone on bone” degeneration, they often are told that surgery is the only answer. At Physicians Rehabilitation, our goal is to give you the best chance of preventing knee replacement surgery and to get you out of pain and living your life again!
With knee replacement surgery, it’s permanent. Starting with a more conservative approach is a better choice. Knee replacement is a very extreme measure to take without considering all of your options for a condition as common as knee arthritis.
FDA Approved, Guided, Hyaluronic Acid Injection
Viscosupplementation is a gel like substance that is very similar to the synovial fluid in our joints, which reduces inflammation and increases cushioning and lubrication of your knees immediately. This treatment protocol is used to treat the symptoms associated with arthritis.
Viscosupplementation (also known as hyaluronic acid injection) involves injecting a lubricating fluid into the knee joint to promote more comfortable knee movement, reduce friction in the joint, and slow the progression of arthritis. This treatment is also commonly paired with physical therapy to help strengthen the joint and improve range of motion. At Physicians Rehabilitation, we perform viscosupplementation with the guidance of advanced fluoroscopic technology to achieve enhanced precision and provide our patients with optimal results. Viscosupplementation is considered to be a safe procedure, with only a small percentage of patients reporting mild side effects.
Viscosupplementation is among our knee pain treatment options at Physicians Rehabilitation. Other treatments we offer in the specialized knee program are:
• Stem Cell Therapy
• PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
• Physical therapy
• Bracing
• Rehabilitation
• Supplementation and more
We are a leading provider of nonsurgical orthopedic solutions in the Florida. We cater to patients of all ages and lifestyles who are at their wit’s end with symptoms of osteoarthritis and other debilitating joint conditions. If you’re ready to find meaningful relief from your knee pain, we encourage you to consult with our board-certified physicians about your nonsurgical treatment options – even if other doctors have told you that surgery is the only answer.

Patient Testimonials
Try the Shots First!
“If you’re thinking about getting your knee replaced you may as well try the shots first…the three shot series I had back in Boston didn’t do a whole lot…but this program afforded me the ability to walk longer and further…the pain is pretty much gone…”
David C. – Florida
I Didn’t Want Another Knee Surgery!
“Pain level coming in was an 8, going out a 1. I had my left knee operated on and I didn’t want to go through that pain anymore, so I wanted to try something different…getting in and out of the car, walking stairs was a catastrophe…Now I’m hitting the golf ball better than before…
Andrew F. – Florida
Time to Take Care of My Knee Pain!
“I always had pain because as a child I was very klutzy and I always fell down and landed on my left knee, which hurt me on and off over the years, but I was accustomed to it…so I came here and it was wonderful, no more pain…
Margaret M. – Florida
