Knee Pain and Arthritis Treatment in Fort Lauderdale

Non-Surgical Options for Knee Osteoarthritis

If knee arthritis is limiting your movement and conservative treatments have not given you lasting relief, you may have more options than you think, and they may not involve surgery. At IROSM in Fort Lauderdale, our board-certified physicians treat knee osteoarthritis with a range of non-surgical, regenerative approaches designed to reduce pain and improve function.

What Is Knee Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis of the knee is a painful, sometimes debilitating condition caused by the gradual breakdown of the cartilage that cushions the point where the thigh and leg bones meet. As that cartilage wears down, the result is inflammation, stiffness, and pain. Arthritis is extremely common, affecting an estimated 27 million people in the United States, and is a leading cause of disability. There is no cure, so treatment focuses on reducing symptoms and slowing the progression of the disease.

Standard Treatment Options, and Where They Fall Short

Conventional treatment usually starts with measures to reduce inflammation and strengthen the muscles around the knee. Steroid injections or gel injections (viscosupplementation) can help manage pain for a time. When these conservative therapies stop working, total knee replacement is often the next recommendation.

What is the Treatment Gap?

The treatment gap is the point where a patient has failed conservative, non-surgical treatments and still lives with pain and limitation, but is not ready for, or not a candidate for, surgery. This is extremely common in early to moderate osteoarthritis.

Regenerative options such as PRP and orthobiologic treatments were developed to give these patients another path before surgery becomes the only choice.

You can learn more in Dr. Gonzalez’s short video explaining the treatment gap in orthopedics.

Regenerative Options for Knee Arthritis at IROSM

For appropriate candidates, IROSM offers regenerative treatments as a non-surgical alternative aimed at reducing pain and improving joint function:

  • PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy uses a concentration of your own blood platelets to support healing in the joint. Research into PRP for knee osteoarthritis has been encouraging, though it is important to know that not all PRP preparations are the same. IROSM prepares its own concentrated PRP in our Advanced Regenerative Lab for consistency and quality.

  • Orthobiologic and cellular treatments use your body’s own regenerative cells. This is an evolving area of medicine, and while research and our clinical experience have been promising, outcomes vary by patient. Whether these treatments are appropriate for you is determined through evaluation.

Because every knee and every patient is different, the right option, if any, is decided after a proper evaluation, not before.
