Knee Pain at Night? Cold Laser Dallas Knee Pain Treatment Offers Relief

Knee Pain At Night? Cold Laser Dallas Knee Pain Treatment Offers Relief

Is knee pain keeping you awake at night?  Are you unable to sleep at night because your knees ache? 

The most common knee condition that causes knee pain at night and disrupts sleep is a meniscus tear in the knee.

A Meniscus Tear…

The meniscus is the rubbery cartilage like material that sits between the shin bone and the thigh bone.  There are two menisci one on the inner part of the knee (medial meniscus) and the other is on the outer part of the knee (or the lateral meniscus). The medial meniscus tears more commonly then the lateral meniscus.  A meniscus tear can be caused from an injury or arthritis in the knee. Unfortunately, most individuals in the acute stage of a meniscus tear will experience knee pain at night.

Prior to undergoing (Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Dallas Knee Pain Treatment Program), Mary L. was diagnosed with a meniscus tear and experienced constant knee pain day and night.  This is her story:

“I had constant knee pain day and night that required pain killers every day.  I couldn’t kneel at church, sleep at night or go shopping or clean house.  I had arthroscopic knee surgery but it didn’t help me so the surgeon recommended a total knee replacement.  Since completing knee pain treatments with Dr. Schnee, I can sleep with hardly any pain, and kneel at church.  I am very pleased with my overall percentage of improvement- which is 80%.”

Arthritis and ‘Bone on Bone’ Knee Pain

The other knee condition that can prevent you from getting a restful night’s sleep is severe arthritis knee pain or ‘bone on bone knee pain.’

Knee pain from severe arthritis knee pain or ‘bone on bone knee pain’ is a direct result of the lining of the bone or synovium becoming  irritated.  The synovium has trillions of sensitive nerve endings when it gets inflamed or irritated an individual will experience knee pain- especially at night.

Paul B. had a similar story to Mary’s but instead of a meniscus tear he was diagnosed with ‘bone on bone knee pain’. This is his story:

“The pain in my left knee would wake me up at night.  I had pain in my left knee when walking or climbing stairs.   I tried physical therapy and over the counter medications.  I had one cortisone shot and it lasted about one month.  Since completing Dr. Schnee’s knee pain treatment program I can stand longer without experiencing knee pain and I can walk better.  I can sleep at night without knee pain waking me up.  I can go up and down stairs better.  I am very pleased with my overall experience and results.  I wish that I had known about Dr. Schnee’s cold laser therapy program before my knees got so bad.  I would say my overall improvement is 60-70% in my left knee and 70-80% in my right knee.”

Meniscus tears and bone on bone knee pain are the two most common conditions that can cause knee pain at night; however, there are other knee conditions that can disrupt your sleep (they’re just not as common).

Retired Physical Therapist Experiences Dramatic Knee Pain Relief with Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program

Ms. Billie D. is eighty-two years young and a retired physical therapist.  She came in to see me because she was experiencing severe knee pain in the left knee.  She told me that twenty years ago she used cold lasers on her patients to help treat different ailments.  Of course, cold lasers looked different back then and were not FDA cleared so they had to have patients sign a special consent form that let them know that they were ‘experimental’. Her experience with cold lasers proved to be a positive one because twenty years later she was coming to see me to be treated for the same condition she once treated other patients for…knee pain.  This is Ms. D’s story.

“I had severe knee pain with any weight bearing activity.  I had a frequent sensation that the knee would “give way”.  I was unable to walk without an assistive device or stand alone on the affected leg.  I could not fully extend the knee.  I tried over the counter NSAIDs, elastic knee bandages, and I ambulated with a cane.

Since completing Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program I am able to walk without knee pain, and I can stand on the affected leg.  The natural contour of my knee has returned.  90% of my knee pain is gone. There is 75% of decrease in fluid around the knee joint.  Knee extensions have improved.”

Chondromalacia Patella and Meniscus Tear Knee Pain is Almost Eliminated Since Completing Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program

Father Paul drove to Irving every week from Harper, Texas to complete Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program, so that he could avoid having to undergo knee surgery for a meniscus tear and chondromalacia patella.

This is what he had to say about his knee treatments…

“The pain was moderate and consistent especially on the IT band (iliotibial band).  I could not kneel [to pray].  I was told that I needed knee surgery [but instead] I took pain pills, I had physical therapy, and one cortisone shot.  [Nothing worked so I decided to try Dr. Schnee’s treatments.]

Since completing Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program I can now walk better, without much pain.  I am very pleased with my results.  The overall percentage of improvement is about 90%.”

Diagnosed With A Meniscus Tear in the Knee? It’s NOT the Reason You’re Having Knee Pain

Patients diagnosed with a meniscus tear in the knee often think that it’s the meniscus tear that is causing them to be in pain.  So they often undergo arthroscopic knee surgery to have the tear removed. Many times patients are disappointed after the surgery because the pain hasn’t completely gone away. Why?  This is because a meniscus tear is often blamed for knee pain when it really isn’t the cause.  Tears in the meniscus don’t actually cause pain because there are no nerve endings in meniscus tissue.  Instead, the pain is coming from the tissue and the lining around the joint (synovium) that is also irritated and inflamed and does have a nerve supply. In fact, YOU WON’T EXPERIENCE ANY KNEE PAIN EVEN WITH A MENISCUS TEAR if the nerves in the tissue or the lining around the joint aren’t inflamed or irritated.

The New England Journal of Medicine reported in September 2008 that meniscus tears on MRI’s are incidental findings and are very common in the “general population and increase with increasing age.”  Furthermore, 61% OF THE SUBJECTS IN THE STUDY HAD MENISCUS TEARS ON MRI BUT NONE OF THEM HAD PAIN, STIFFNESS OR ACHES.  THEY WERE SYMPTOM-FREE.  This study proves that MENISCUS TEARS DON’T CAUSE KNEE PAIN.  There are certain types of meniscus tears that may cause the knee to lock up and create problems with range of motion.  However, meniscus tissue has NO NERVE ENDINGS SO IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO EXPERIENCE KNEE PAIN DIRECTLY FROM THE TEAR ITSELF.

I’ve treated hundreds of individuals diagnosed with knee pain from meniscus tears and I’ve been able to alleviate the pain, help them avoid arthroscopic knee surgery and keep them that way- even with the meniscus tear still there.  Initially individuals with a meniscus tear come into my office complaining of knee pain. The pain is often described as sharp and shooting (especially if they turn a certain way) or it can be deep, dull and achy.  In severe cases the pain prevents them from sleeping and walking for any length of time.  Under my care, a typical patient with a meniscus tear will complete a series of cold laser treatments along with physiotherapy modalities.  Usually after a few weeks of treatments they leave my office pain-free and the muscles around the joint are stronger.

What does my Cold Laser Knee Program do for patients with meniscus tears?  It relieves the pain and reduces swelling by eliminating nerve irritation and inflammation to the synovium (joint lining) and surrounding tissues. Cold lasers don’t CUT OUT OR REMOVE THE MENISCUS like arthroscopes (the tool used in arthroscopic surgery).  Why would you want to remove cartilage or meniscus if that’s not what’s causing your knee pain?  It won’t grow back if it’s removed and the area becomes a breeding ground for arthritis. At the DFW Spine & Joint Center we don’t want you to have to undergo unnecessary knee surgery.  Instead we want to use cold laser therapy to work on a cellular level to eliminate pain, reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, increase energy production of the cell, and, as a result, speed up the healing process.  In addition, to cold laser therapy we also want to strengthen the muscles around your knee joint so that it becomes more stable and your condition doesn’t reoccur.  Most patients who complete our Cold Laser Knee Program have sustainable results, and unless they reinjure their knee never have to see us for treatments in the future.

Mr. James S. is a classic example of a patient diagnosed with a medial meniscus tear.  He did not want arthroscopic knee surgery because it made sense to him that if he had the meniscus cut out it would NEVER grow back.  He also came into my office because he had educated himself about the meniscus.  He learned that the meniscus did not have a nerve supply so it was impossible for the pain to be coming from the tear. He also deduced that if he had arthroscopic knee surgery to remove the tear it would do nothing to reduce the irritation and inflammation for the tissue in the knee actually causing the pain.

The following is what Mr. James S. wrote about his knee before and after completing Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program “My knee pain was severe and I felt pain in the front and back of the knee. I couldn’t sleep because of the pain and I couldn’t stand for long.  Since completing Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program my knee is 90% better then it was and the best part is I can stand, walk and sleep through the night without experiencing knee pain.”

Meniscus Tear May Not Be The Reason For Knee Pain | Dallas-Fort Worth

Dallas Cold Laser Doctor Alexandra Schnee, D.C. shares information on what causes knee pain from meniscus tears and how to avoid knee surgery.

Dallas Texas Resident Experiences Knee Pain Relief from Meniscus Tear and Arthritis at the DFW Spine & Joint Center

“Before starting Dr. Alexandra Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program I had an MRI that stated I had a medial meniscus tear and severe arthritis in the left knee.  I was told by an orthopedic surgeon to get arthroscopic knee surgery but I did not want to get knee surgery this young.  I felt a constant ache, burning pain and tightening in the left knee.  I wasn’t sleeping at night and I couldn’t walk for any length of time without my knee hurting.  I had a very difficult time doing house work and I could not bend down.

Since completing Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program at the DFW Spine & Joint Center I can now sleep all night, climb stairs, and I can walk distances.  I am very pleased with the results!  I am probably 85% stronger today! I now have more good days then bad days and I have some days that my knee feels PERFECT!

How to Treat Meniscus Tears and Why You Should Avoid Knee Surgery

Did you know that there are millions of individuals who walk around every day with meniscus tears and are completely asymptomatic (they feel no pain)?  Unfortunately, once pain is perceived and a meniscus tear is diagnosed most orthopedic surgeons will usually recommend arthroscopic knee surgery.   However, since knee surgery in patients over the age of 40 is often unsuccessful and it accelerates the arthritic process in the knee it should only be considered once all conservative measures have been exhausted.

There are several different types of meniscus tears and the location and size of the tear determines how it should be treated and whether the meniscus tear has the potential to respond to conservative care.

A meniscus tear is in one of these three zones:

Red Zone- The red zone is located in the outer one third of the meniscus.  This area has a rich blood supply therefore a meniscus tear in this region responds well to conservative care.  Many times a tear in this area will heal spontaneously if given a chance. The RICE method may be useful in this case.  (RICE stands for rest, ice, compression, and elevation.)Sometimes, the tissue needs a ‘jumpstart’ or an extra ‘push’ so it can heal faster.  Therefore, cold laser therapy is a great option for individuals with this type of tear since it helps stimulate more blood flow, decreases pain, and inflammation in the area allowing the tissues to heal and repair faster.  Try to avoid arthroscopic knee surgery if you have a tear in this region.

Red/White Zone- This type of tear extends from the red zone (the outer one third) into the inner two thirds of the meniscus or the white zone.  The white zone is an area that has no blood supply.  Knee surgery may not work because the meniscus may not heal after the surgery is performed so conservative care should be considered first.  The goal for conservative care (ie cold laser therapy) with this type of tear is to help individuals get out of pain, and reduce swelling and keep them that way.

White Zone- Again the white zone is located in the inner two thirds of the meniscus. If you have a tear located in this zone this is a tricky area to treat because it is avascular.  This means there is no blood supply to the meniscus in this area. Due to the lack of blood supply a torn meniscus in this zone is unlikely to heal with ANY TYPE of treatment including arthroscopic knee surgery.  The goal with conservative care such as cold laser therapy is to help provide the individual with pain relief and decrease the inflammation in the knee joint.

In summary, many individuals have tears AND NEVER EVEN KNOW IT! So it is possible to be asymptomatic and still have a meniscus tear! Oftentimes individuals are scared into surgery by their doctors.  They’re told that if they don’t have knee surgery that they’ll eventually develop arthritis in the knee.

What do you think arthroscopic knee surgery does to your knee?!!

Knee surgery guarantees that you will develop arthritis, and the arthritic process will be accelerated.  It actually compounds the same problem (arthritis) your doctor told you would be avoided by undergoing knee surgery.  Furthermore, if the meniscus or meniscus tear is cut out or removed your knee joint is left with less of a cushion and shock absorber.

The bottom line is that after any injury or surgery, arthritis is likely to develop.  At least with conservative care the meniscus is left intact therefore the shock absorber (meniscus) isn’t removed.

Of course there are cases where knee surgery cannot be avoided; however, if possible give  your knee an opportunity to heal without knee surgery.  Many times conservative care will allow an individual to become asymptomatic, and depending on the type of tear and its location the tear may heal on its own. Try the RICE method. In addition, visit a doctor that specializes in treating the knee joint with cold laser therapy which may help your knee heal faster by increasing blood flow, decreasing pain, and reducing inflammation in the knee.

The following is a case study about a patient who chose Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program to treat his severe knee pain and swelling from a meniscus tear.

Recently, Mr. B. age 54, a television producer from Lewisville Texas came in to the DFW Spine & Joint Center complaining of severe knee pain and swelling in his left knee.  He rated his knee pain a 6-8 on a pain scale of 1-10.  His knee pain prevented him from walking without a limp and climbing stairs.  He even complained of knee pain while he was driving, and he could not sleep through the night without tossing and turning.  His MRI stated he had a medial meniscus tear in the red/white zone and severe arthritis.  He already had arthroscopic knee surgery for the same condition on the same knee the year prior. But Mr. B did not want to undergo knee surgery for a second time so instead he chose to complete Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program.

After completing treatments, Mr. B is now able to walk without any knee pain and is able to walk without a limp 90% of the time.  He has more stamina in standing positions and is now able to climb and descend stairs without experiencing knee pain.  According to Mr. B his knee feels 75-80% better than it did before starting knee treatments and most importantly he was able to avoid knee surgery.

Treating Knee Pain From A Baker’s Cyst, Meniscus Tear And Arthritis With Cold Laser Therapy

A Dallas Residents Story Of Overcoming Knee Pain And Avoiding Knee Surgery With This High Tech Treatment

The following is the true story of Jill V. a 61 year old Plano resident diagnosed with arthritis, a meniscus tear, a Baker’s Cyst, and near bone on bone and the knee treatments she tried before she finally found Dr. Schnee.

“In September of 2009 my pain was focused on the inside of my left knee.  From time to time it would vary to the back portion of the knee.  Unless one has actually experienced this type of knee pain, it is hard for someone to grasp how intense this can be.  The pain was sharp, stabbing, burning and achy.  Walking, climbing stairs, sitting, sleeping were all uncomfortable.  I had severe swelling in the back of my knee.  The pain was constant.  I was always groaning every time I took a step.  It was crippling me and my well being.  It obviously changed my life and not for the better.  In December 2009 I needed to seek some options and some answers.

After about 4 months of agonizing knee pain in my left knee I was referred to an orthopedic surgeon by my primary care doctor.  First, he took a knee x-ray and an MRI which revealed inflammation, some arthritis, a meniscus tear, a bakers cyst and near bone on bone.  He explained what this all meant and I begged him for a cortisone injection.  For 4 days I had no pain in my knee.  I was brand new, but that didn’t last long.  After the four days I was in excruciating pain again.  Then he sent me for physical rehabilitation.  I did stretches, used heat/ice packs, and lotions.  I was still hurting in January of 2010.  There was NO RELIEF in sight.  So in February he recommended a series of three injections called Euflexxa.  These injections don’t tickle.  They are painful.  They first start out by draining the knee fluid with a syringe and then they follow that with the injection.  I believe anyone who has had these injections will tell you they ‘hurt’, this is not an exaggeration. The result of these painful injections?  Zero, the Euflexxa did not work on me and the pain never lessened.  In March, I was referred to the ‘Brace Guy’.  This was just another added expense and the brace was heavy and burdensome.  In May 2010 I read about Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Pain Solution Program.

She was my last hope otherwise the orthopedic knee doctor told me that we would have to discuss knee surgery.

I completed Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program in July and now I can walk without knee pain, climb stairs with no effort.  I can sit and get up from a chair or bed without hesitation on the first step.  The swelling in the back of the knee from the Baker’s Cyst is minimal.  And I can pretty much do anything I want to do now.

I am so pleased with the results of this program! I thoroughly enjoyed each and every treatment especially the wonderful massage at the end of each visit.  What a treat! Each therapist is precise and extremely adequate with each session.   Dr. Schnee explained to me from the very beginning that because my knee condition was severe that I would probably not be 100% pain free. But I feel like I am 100% because I am 85-90% pain free! For me these treatments have been very successful.  I am walking without pain.   I don’t wake up during the night whenever I move my leg.  There are times that I even forget my knee ever hurt so badly.   I have NO sharp, stabbing or burning pain in my knee.  It has definitely helped me get back on track.

Anyone who has issues with their knee needs this program it WILL work for you too.

Before Cold laser treatments my knee pain was so severe that I couldn’t bend my knee, walk, sleep through the night, or work!  I was diagnosed with a meniscus tear, ‘bone on bone’ arthritis, and a ligament tear by an orthopedic surgeon.  I had tried knee injections and pain medications but neither of those things helped my knee pain.  I was told to do total knee replacements, but I opted out to try Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program.  Now since completing treatments my knee is 75% better then it was before treatments and I can walk without a limp; I am able to work comfortably, and I can sleep better!

Avoiding Knee Surgery w/ Cold Laser Therapy Knee Program | Dallas-Fort Worth

Dr.Schnee D.C.,Dallas Cold Laser Doctor, shares a testimonial from a patient able to avoid knee surgery because of her cold laser therapy knee program.

Do You Suffer With Knee Pain On The Inside Area Of The Knee Where The Knees Touch?

The majority of patients who experience knee pain have it on the inside area of the knee where the knees touch (medial joint line).  Many times this type of knee pain is due to cartilage loss on the inside of the knee, or a meniscus or cartilage tear.

Z. W., a retiree in Dallas, Texas is a perfect example of a patient who came to see Dr. Alexandra Schnee, D.C complaining of burning pain in the medial aspect of her knee and in the back of her knee.  Her knee pain had become so severe that it kept her from sleeping at night because every time she turned over in bed and her knees touched, she would wake up from the pain.  She also felt pain when she walked that was so intense, it make her feel ‘sick’.

Zena W. came to see Dr. Schnee at the DFW Spine & Joint Center after having visited her orthopedic doctor for several gel injections (SYNVISC injections) and one cortisone injection.  Unfortunately, these knee injections were ineffective and did nothing to ease her knee pain.  Finally, the orthopedic doctor recommended a MRI after having done everything he could do to help her, finally suggesting total knee replacement surgery.  The MRI showed a medial meniscus tear, cartilage loss, and a Baker’s Cyst (popliteal cyst).

Zena W. did not want a knee replacement because she hated the thought of ‘having her bones cut off.’ She also lived in an independent living facility and felt that she did not have the support needed to go through major surgery and complete the rehabilitation necessary needed after a total knee replacement.  As a result she decided to undergo Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program in an attempt to achieve some knee pain relief without undergoing knee surgery.

This is what Zena W. wrote about her experience with Dr. Schnee after completing treatments at the DFW Spine & Joint Center:

“I am pleased with the overall results of my treatment.  I am 95% better now after completing care [Dr. Schnees’ Cold Laser Knee Program].   Now it doesn’t hurt very much to walk and [my knee] feels better all over without the pain in my knee.  Thanks Dr. Schnee for your personal interest. You are a great doctor.”

If you have severe knee pain on the inside area of the knee where the knees touch (medial joint line) and have been diagnosed with arthritis of the knee, bone on bone, or a medial meniscus  tear and you do not want surgery then call Dr. Schnee’s office at 214-596-1051.

Arthroscopic Knee Surgery to Repair ACL Injuries or Meniscus Tears Won’t Stop Osteoarthritis from Developing In the Knee

A study published in the journal of Radiology (August 2010 issue) followed 326 men and women 10 years after they had arthroscopic knee surgery to repair torn Anterior Cruciate Ligaments (ACL) and meniscus tears. Initially, researchers hypothesized that patients who had arthroscopic knee surgery would lower their risk for developing osteoarthritis in their knee and also lower their risk for other complications such as loss of cartilage, lesions in the bone marrow, and narrowing of the joint space.  However, this was not the case, osteoarthritis developed in the men and women’s knees’ despite doing knee surgery to fix the injuries.

This research study confirms what I view on x-rays on a daily basis which is knee surgery does NOT stop osteoarthritis from developing.  instead it actually helps contribute and speeds up the process of cartilage loss and deterioration!

The bottom line is knee surgery will not prevent arthritis in the knee, so don’t be fooled into thinking that it will…
