Knee pain can be more than just uncomfortable — for many adults over 50, it’s a constant reminder of aging joints and degenerative wear. If you’ve been told that a knee replacement is your only option, there’s good news: knee decompression therapy may offer a non-surgical path to relief.
At Restore Wellness Center in Melbourne, FL, we specialize in helping patients avoid invasive surgery with innovative, drug-free solutions. One of our most effective therapies? Knee decompression. Let’s explore what it is, how it works, and how it might help you avoid going under the knife.
What Is Knee Decompression Therapy?
Knee decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses gentle mechanical traction to separate the knee joint, reduce pressure, and allow healing. It works by:
-
Creating negative pressure in the joint
-
Increasing synovial fluid movement
-
Reducing inflammation and swelling
-
Encouraging cartilage repair
This therapy is ideal for conditions like:
-
Osteoarthritis
-
Meniscus tears
-
Bone-on-bone degeneration
-
Chronic knee pain
-
Post-surgical knee stiffness
Unlike surgery, there’s no downtime, no medications, and no risk of surgical complications.
Why It’s Gaining Popularity Among Adults Over 50
As we age, the cartilage in our knees thins, and the bones may start rubbing together, creating stiffness, pain, and loss of mobility. Many patients are told that knee replacement is inevitable.
But knee decompression therapy offers a powerful alternative — especially for those who:
-
Want to delay or avoid surgery
-
Are not surgical candidates due to age or other conditions
-
Have tried physical therapy or injections with little success
-
Prefer holistic, non-invasive treatment options
🔹 Real Testimonial from a Restore Wellness Patient:
“I was scheduled for knee replacement surgery before I found Restore Wellness. After six sessions of decompression, I could bend my knee again without pain. I’m walking farther than I have in two years — and I canceled my surgery.”
— Linda R., 68, Satellite Beach
How Safe Is Knee Decompression?
Very safe. The process is controlled, gentle, and performed by licensed professionals. During your session, you’ll sit comfortably as the machine applies targeted traction to your knee joint.
What to expect:
-
Sessions last about 20–30 minutes
-
No pain — many find it relaxing
-
Often combined with therapies like red light or K-Laser for faster results
-
Personalized treatment plans based on your exam and imaging
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
Each patient is unique, but most begin to feel relief within 4–6 visits. A full course typically includes 10–15 sessions over several weeks. Many patients opt for maintenance visits to keep inflammation and stiffness at bay.
Does It Really Help You Avoid Surgery?
For many people — yes. While not a miracle cure or suitable for every condition, knee decompression therapy can reduce pain, increase mobility, and delay or eliminate the need for surgery in mild to moderate degeneration cases.
“I could barely go up stairs without grinding pain. I didn’t want a knee replacement, but cortisone shots weren’t helping anymore. The decompression treatments at Restore Wellness gave me my mobility back.”
— George M., 72, Viera
