You Don’t Have to Live With Knee Pain

“Call me when you’re ready to get your knee replaced.  Until then there’s nothing more I can do. You’ll have to live with the pain.”

Obviously, this is not something you want to hear when you’re dealing with severe knee pain.

But unfortunately this may sound familiar to many of you dealing with knee pain for years.

Should you be made to suffer just because you don’t want your knee replaced?  What if you’re never ready to get your knee replaced?

I believe no one should have to live with knee pain.   I also believe that your knee doctor should offer you EVERY option available (including cold laser therapy), and it should be your decision to choose the best option for you.

Your quality of life shouldn’t be reduced to nothing just because you don’t want to undergo a knee replacement.  I have treated hundreds of patients with knee pain and almost every one of them has told me that they would have started our Cold Laser Knee Program sooner IF THEY HAD JUST KNOWN ABOUT THE TREATMENTS.  There are a handful of  knee surgeons that won’t tell you about non-invasive solutions only because that would mean you wouldn’t need to go back to them for medications, knee injections or knee surgery.  The bottom line is business would be taken away from them.

I believe a knee replacement should only be performed after all conservative measures have been exhausted, including cold laser treatments.   Once a partial or total knee replacement is performed there is no ‘turning back’.  Good or bad you’re stuck with the results.

I’ve been treating patients since 2001 and our Cold Laser Knee Program has never hurt or killed anyone.  Cold laser treatments won’t harm you in anyway.  Death, blood clots, infections and rashes are possible side effects with surgery, medications, and injections NOT Cold laser treatments.  As a matter of fact, there are NO side effects with treatments (except maybe mild soreness after the first treatment that goes away with an ice pack).  If you’re one of the 8 out of 10* that are helped and experience pain relief with treatments, and are able to avoid knee surgery then it’s certainly worth trying our program.

So instead of living with knee pain and waiting for it to become so severe that it forces you to become wheelchair bound…BE PROACTIVE.  Call my office today at 214-596-1051 and find out if you’re a candidate for our Cold Laser Knee Program. Get the relief you want and the quality of life you desire without knee surgery!

Find Out How To Choose The Right ‘Cold Laser Doctor’ To Treat Knee Pain

No matter what a doctors degree of medical competence is a thorough understanding of cold laser therapy is needed in order to achieve successful results with a laser. Any licensed health care provider can own cold laser equipment but that does not make them proficient in its use.  I get daily phone calls and e-mails from patients who live out of state asking me to recommend a doctor in their area who is proficient with cold laser therapy AND  is proficient with treating knee pain.  Unfortunately, I have no idea who to refer them too because I’m not familiar with out of state cold laser doctors.

The bottom line is if you’re looking for a doctor who uses cold laser therapy for knee pain make sure that this is their specialty.   For example, you wouldn’t go to an orthopedic surgeon to operate on your knee if they specialized in the shoulder joint.

Again, I’m sure you’ll find plenty of doctors who advertise that they use cold lasers in their practice. BUT do they treat all sorts of conditions and joints or do they focus solely on knee problems?  And are cold lasers an integral part of their practice or just one of the many therapeutic treatments they use in practice?

Please note a Cold laser treatment in inexperienced hands is just as effective as not getting a cold laser treatment at all…

Since 2001, Dr. Alexandra K. Schnee, D.C. has solely been using cold lasers in her practice to treat patients suffering from knee pain.  Her mission is to help patients experience knee pain relief and improve their quality of life so that they can avoid taking unnecessary medications, knee injections, and hopefully avoid undergoing knee surgery. Patients travel from all over the DFW Metroplex, as well as from surrounding states and other countries to get treated by Dr. Schnee.  Her experience with non-surgical cold laser therapy and treating knee pain problems is unsurpassed.

Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program is considered a complete treatment program  combines low-level laser treatments (cold laser treatments, cold laser therapy), and other modalities that promote rehabilitation of the knee.

Find The Right Cold Laser Doctor For Your Knee Pain | Dallas-Fort Worth

Dr.Schnee,D.C.explains ways to choose the right Cold Laser Doctor for your Knee Pain and why not all Cold Laser Doctors Treat the Knee. Dallas-Ft.Worth.

Why Hasn’t My Doctor Told Me About Cold Laser Therapy?

That’s a good question.  I don’t know why YOUR knee doctor hasn’t shared the benefits of cold laser therapy with you, but I think I know the answer…  First, let me just state that our office gets daily referrals from orthopedists, internal medicine doctors, rheumatologists, pain management doctors and primary care physicians.

Most physicians understand that not all patients want, need or respond well to surgery, injections or pain medications.  Physicians refer patients to our office to undergo our Cold Laser Knee Program because it is considered safe, and effective, and it’s definitely worth trying if other knee treatments have failed, and before any further knee surgery is recommended or performed.

Now let me get back to answering the question.

There are two obvious reasons why your doctor hasn’t told you about cold laser treatments.

The first and most obvious reason is that they are probably unaware of the technology.   Even though there are an increasing number of doctors using cold lasers, and are becoming more educated about the benefits of the treatment there are still many more physicians that do not know about it.

The other reason your doctor may not have told you about the treatment is because they are narrow minded, and they just don’t want to change their method of treatment. These doctors are skeptical about everything except for the techniques they use.  It doesn’t matter what overwhelming evidence you provide them they still consider everything other than ‘conventional medicine’ a sham.  (Ironically, ‘conventional medicine’, for example, prescription medication and surgery was ranked one of the leading causes of death by the CDC.   In my opinion, ‘narrow minded’ physicians are one of the reasons why the U.S. is only ranked 37^th in health care by the World Health Organization.)  I wonder sometimes if this group of physicians is truly acting on behalf of the patient or only looking out for themselves.  After all, if your knee pain significantly improves or is eliminated after completing our Cold Laser Knee Program then why would you go back to the surgeon?

The bottom line is…if you’ve tried medications, knee injections and/or knee surgery and those options haven’t helped you than don’t wait for your knee to get worse.  Your quality of life doesn’t have to suffer just because you orthopedic doctor hasn’t referred you for or told you about cold laser treatments.

If you are still suffering from knee pain, and have tried everything don’t feel hopeless!  Dr. Schnee may be able to help you.  If you have knee pain due to cartilage loss, ‘bone on bone’, or osteoarthritis of the knee and you want to avoid a total knee replacement or you cannot undergo a total knee replacement due to other health problems then Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program may be the answer to your knee problem.

Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program is considered a complete treatment program that combines low-level laser treatments (cold laser treatments, cold laser therapy), and other modalities that promote rehabilitation of the knee.  Every patient’s program is different depending on whether they suffer from arthritis knee pain, ‘bone on bone’, meniscus tears, bursitis of the knee, tendonitis of the knee, a Baker’s Cyst, post surgical arthroscopic knee pain, or a combination of the listed conditions.  If you live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area call our office at 214- 596-1051 to find out if you’re a candidate for Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program.

Why Doctors Do Not Mention Cold Laser Therapy for Treating Knee Pain | Dallas-Fort Worth

Irving Cold Laser Therapy Doctor explains why some doctors may not mention cold laser therapy as an option for treating knee pain Dallas-Ft Worth.

Laser Education 101: The History of Lasers

LASERs were first theorized by Albert Einstein in 1917.  In 1960, Dr. Endre Mester, a Hungarian scientist, invented laser technology.  Prior to being FDA Cleared in the U.S. cold lasers were being used in Europe, Japan and China to treat acute and chronic conditions. In addition, there were at least 2,000 studies already published proving the efficacy of cold laser therapy.  Years later, and after significant developments in the technology, cold lasers were finally cleared in the U.S. in 2001.

Currently, there are multiple types of cold lasers that are FDA cleared for the treatment of a variety of health conditions including arthritis pain.   In addition,  cold laser therapy is used in many hospitals, rehabilitation, and clinics in the U.S. and around the world.  In Europe, China, and Japan, it is not unusual for patients to undergo cold laser treatments to treat chronic and acute conditions in order to reduce pain, swelling and restore function.  In the United States almost every professional sports team and professional athlete uses cold laser therapy to treat injuries.  Cold lasers allow them to speed up the healing process, decrease pain, increase range of motion, and eliminate swelling.

Cold Laser therapy has also proven to be a versatile and high-tech solution in the health care field.   By simply changing the wavelength, frequency and power of a cold laser it can be used for various health conditions.   For example, it is becoming more common for orthopedic doctors, pain management specialists, cosmetic surgeons, dentists, dermatologists, and podiatrists to use cold lasers as part of their arsenal of tools in assisting patients with their treatment goals.

Stay tuned for Laser Education 102…Learn how cold lasers work, why they work and why it’s the best option for treating knee pain.

Dear Dr. Schnee…My Greatest Relief Was The Considerable Reduction Of Pain In My Knee Joints

The following is an unsolicited letter written by a patient who completed Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program.

Dr. Schnee,

Years ago, shots of various mixtures did not help my joint arthritis knee pain, & I considered Radio-Frequency treatment. However, studies revealed that hot-radiation was counter-productive, harmful to body tissues, nerves & cells. When directional-lasers, low-power/controllable were developed, I was excited about their use in the body. Yet no medical practice/use was available. As the 20th century closed, research, doctors & studies learned that COLD LASER was indeed very beneficial in the stimulation of protein, enzymes & cell rejuvenation. Again, few medical applications were available. COLD LASER was an answer to a non-invasive treatment of joints & surrounding tissue. In searching for experienced practitioners/treatment, they did not exist, only expensive trial work. Non-invasive is key with sensitivity to anesthesia in joint-replacement surgery.

I am so grateful for your experience & attention to extreme detail in your protocol treatment. Your close attention to patients needs & area of mental & physical direction is much appreciated & in post treatment.

My greatest relief was the considerable reduction of PAIN in the knee joints & a noticeable reduction in acute inflammation (most beneficial in cell stimulation)…I am most grateful to you & your fine staff for my considerable improvement, during & after treatment.

James P., 85 years young, Dallas, Texas

Life Extension Magazine: Cold Laser Therapy is a Breakthrough in the Relief of Chronic Pain!

Life Extension magazine published an article written by Dr. Julius Goepp, about low-level lasers entitled Breakthrough in the Relief of Chronic Pain Without Drugs! Here is an excerpt:

Pharmaceutical companies have deceived the public into believing the solution for chronic pain is to take drugs. Millions of people have perished from the side-effects of these drugs, and their effectiveness in relieving pain is only temporary at best.

In a landmark discovery, a technology utilizing low-level laser light therapy is providing a safe and long-lasting relief for the most common types of chronic type pain.

Dr. Goepp continues the article by writing about Dr Nordquist, a medical doctor in the Bahamas who was told he needed bilateral knee replacements, but instead tried cold laser therapy (low-level laser therapy) on his knees. As a result of cold laser treatments, he was able to completely avoid getting his knees replaced.

Dr. Nordquist states in the article, “When I stepped off that treatment table the first day, it was the first time in years that I set foot on the ground without feeling like knives were going through my knees!”

Dr. Nordquist’s experience was such a positive one that he decided to open a chronic pain treatment center using cold laser therapy in the Bahamas. Since opening his center he has treated over 300 patients suffering from a variety of conditions and more than 90% have reported total pain relief. Only 2-3% of the patients he’s treated have had no beneficial effect at all.

Dr. Nordquist’s patients undergo a customized treatment plan much like our patients do at the DFW Spine & Joint Center. It is important that care is not fragmented and that cold laser therapy is combined with other therapies, sometimes simultaneously, in order for results to be sustainable. In addition, the lasers that are used during treatments must be low-level lasers NOT class IV or high power lasers that burn. Depending on the condition, multiple low-level lasers must used in order to achieve optimal results, and have the most beneficial effect on the tissues being treated.

If you have chronic pain in your knees because of arthritis, ‘bone on bone’, a meniscus tear, Baker’s Cyst, tendonitis, bursitis, a knee injury, or unsuccessful arthroscopic knee surgery, and live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area call our office at 214- 596-1051 to find out if you’re a candidate for Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program.

Cold Laser Therapy Excerpt in Life Extension Magazine | Dr. Alexandra Schnee, D.C. | Dallas-Fort Worth

An excerpt from Life Extension magazine references the same Cold Laser Therapy Dr. Schnee, D.C. uses to help patients with Knee pain in Texas

Why Choose Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Pain Program?

Originally, I was one of the only doctors in the DFW area using Cold Lasers or Low-Level Lasers. Now, after several years and over 35,000 successful treatments later, there are a few more doctors that offer cold laser treatments.  However, there are no other doctors that I know of that use cold lasers to solely treat knee pain sufferers, and who use my unique cold laser protocols for treating knee pain. 

I do not use a cookie cutter approach to patient care.  In my office, patients with knee pain undergo a customized program depending on their knee condition to get the maximum benefits in the shortest amount of time.  I can choose from five different lasers so that patients get the proper care for their condition, and most of the time I combine multiple lasers to achieve the best results. My office uses world renowned lasers to get the best results.  It is important to note that even though cold laser makes up a large part of our knee program there are other therapies that are used in conjunction with the laser, so that you get optimal, long lasting results.

Our goal is to help relieve pain, decrease swelling, increase range of motion and flexibility.  Ultimately, we want to help patients avoid knee surgery, and for many knee pain sufferers we are able to help them achieve that goal.   That is why our program is so successful, and every week we have patients who travel from Arkansas, Oklahoma, Houston, San Antonio, Austin and from other cities outside of Dallas- Fort Worth and stay in a hotel just so they can get the relief they need to help them avoid surgery.  Many of my patients travel far distances to complete treatments with us even though there are doctors that are closer to them.  They choose to receive care in my office because of our great reputation and stellar results with treating patients suffering from knee pain. 

Any doctor can own Cold Laser Therapy equipment, but this does not mean they are proficient at it.  NOT every doctor understands laser technology or has devoted their time to laser therapy.  There are offices that claim to do laser therapy, but do not use true cold lasers. In addition, there are offices that don’t allot the time needed to administer the cold laser properly, and they wave a laser over a patient for a few minutes and refer to that as a treatment.

At the DFW Spine & Joint Center our Cold Laser Knee Program is effective because we use true cold lasers, allot proper time, and cover all bases so that you have the highest probability of a complete and lasting recovery.

If you have knee pain, and live in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex or surrounding areas, and would like more information about our Cold Laser Therapy Knee Program please fill out the form on the right hand side of this screen.  A  FREE Knee Pain Report will be mailed to you within 72 hours.  Or if you have questions please call our office at 214-596-1051.

Dr. Schnee Introduces Her Blog On Cold Laser Therapy In Irving, TX

Hi, my name is Dr. Alexandra Schnee, and since 2001 I have been in private practice and clinic director of the DFW Spine & Joint Center.

I often get asked why I chose to focus solely on knees and why I incorporated cold laser therapy into my practice.  The answer is simple.  Years ago I tore the meniscus in my knee practicing yoga.  Arthroscopic surgery was recommended by the doctor who consulted with me.   I knew that if I had surgery it would promote arthritis in my knee, and probably set me up for a future knee replacement because the cartilage or meniscus that was removed during surgery would never grow back.  Surgery was not what I wanted!  I knew that I needed to try a safe, nonsurgical option FIRST!

As a result, I studied and researched all of my options available to fix my knee pain.   The most common suggestion was to take medication or have a cortisone shot.  Fortunately, I knew that those were not solutions to the problem instead medications/shots would just mask the knee pain.  Physical therapy was also suggested, but wasn’t an option for me because it would do nothing to heal or repair the problem.

I had first learned about cold laser therapy in college, so I decided to do more research about the topic.   I found thousands of published studies and I discovered that the therapy was being performed in hospitals and clinics in Europe and Asia for decades.  I was pleased to find out that general practitioners, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, pain management doctors, and chiropractors had been using low-level lasers, aka cold lasers, for years.  They successfully treated and managed patients suffering from a variety of joint and soft tissue problems.  Doctors were using lasers to help heal and repair tissue, reduce/eliminate pain, and decrease swelling and inflammation.

At that point, I knew that I had found a treatment for my knee pain that made sense, was safe and had tons of research to support its efficacy.  I decided that I had nothing to lose, and that cold laser treatments were the best option for my situation.

In my case not only was the cold laser treatment effective but I was able to avoid knee surgery, and I was able to get back to doing everything I loved.  At that time, my experience also helped me realize that cold laser therapy was being underutilized in the United States to help treat musculoskeletal problems.

Fortunately,  now all of that has changed, since 2001 cold lasers have been FDA cleared and are utilized all over the United States by doctors in rehabilitation centers, hospitals, and in clinics.

Cold laser therapy made such a profound impact in my life that after I graduated Valedictorian of my class with a Doctor of Chiropractic Degree, I received extensive training on the topic, and over the years I have successfully incorporated cold lasers with other therapies to create a specialized Cold Laser Knee Program for patients suffering with knee pain.  In my office we use this cutting edge technology to treat patients suffering from knee pain due to meniscus/cartilage problems, arthritis, baker’s cyst, tendonitis, bursitis, ‘bone on bone’, sprains/strains… etc. Since 2001 I have successfully completed over 18,000 cold laser treatments, and I constantly train other doctors on how to properly use cold lasers.    In 2007 I wrote an article about Knee Pain and Baby Boomers, and that same year I was invited to join the renowned Medical Advisory Board for Microlight lasers.  In April 2009 I was chosen as Doctor of the Month after my article on Cold Laser Therapy was peer-reviewed and published on Spine-Health.com.  I am Texas Board Certified and National Board Certified.  I am also a member of the North American Association of Laser Therapy.
