Knee decompression therapy is a therapeutic approach that promotes healing in the knee, improves knee function and reduces pain in the knee by separating the two principle bones in the knee with the help of a special, patented system. The device used for the separation works gently to increase the space between the lower end of the femur bone and the top of the shin bone. The vacuum created during the process lets more nutrients penetrate the treated area and it also stretches the tissues around the joint, thus facilitates healing.
Knee decompression therapy is today efficiently used to treat a number of affections, including the degeneration of the knee joint, meniscus tears, arthritis as well as for sprains that are older than a month and a half. Knee pain Denver treatment specialists say that sessions usually last between 5-10 minutes – the patient will sit on a chair, with the knees bent comfortably, then the special decompression device is installed over the thigh and below the knees. The device is controlled by the doctor to adjust the separation intensity to the level that is the most appropriate for the patient’s condition. Patients usually notice the first positive results right after or very soon after the first treatment, offering the chance of fast recovery without any invasive intervention.
