Health Condition Prevents Fort Worth Resident from Getting Total Knee Replacements, but Cold Laser Therapy Relieves Knee Pain

By Dr Schnee · December 29, 2010 · Filed in Testimonial · No Comments »

Mr. Edward W., a 77 years young Fort Worth resident had a heart condition that prevented him from getting total knee replacements so rather than suffering with the pain he visited Dr. Alexandra Schnee, D.C. at the DFW Spine & Joint Center in Irving, Texas to find out if he was a candidate for her non-invasive Cold Laser Knee Program.

Prior to starting Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program he rated his pain in both knees a 10 on a pain scale.  In other words, the pain in both knees was severe and constant.  He even complained of knee pain at night which kept him from sleeping soundly.  After Dr. Schnee examined and x-rayed Mr. W she diagnosed him with severe cartilage loss or bone on bone in both knees that over time forced both legs to be bow-legged.

Dr. Schnee’s cold laser treatments along with the physiotherapy she included in his treatment plan significantly reduced Mr. W’s knee pain, and swelling in both knees; as well as increased the strength in both knees.

Since completing care, Mr. W is planning on going on a cruise with his wife (for the first time in years) because now he actually feels like he will be able to enjoy his vacation without suffering from severe knee pain. This is his story:

“[Prior to starting cold laser and therapy treatments with Dr. Alexandra Schnee] I suffered with severe knee pain in both legs.  The knee pain was constant 0 to 10 the pain was a 10.  I couldn’t walk, climb stairs or even sleep through the night.  Even though the orthopedic surgeon recommended I get a knee replacement it was not done because of CHD (Coronary Heart Disease) and a blood clotting condition.  The MRI revealed I had bone on bone and the cartilage in my knee was minimal.  I tried pain medications, and two knee injections but those didn’t work.

Since completing Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program I can walk better, sleep better, stand for a longer period of time without knee pain.  My knees are more than 50% better than when I initially came in to do treatments.  I am pleased with the results.”

Learn How Patient Avoided Knee Replacement Surgery and Got Knee Pain Relief with Cold Laser Therapy in Dallas, Texas

By Dr Schnee · October 21, 2010 · Filed in Cold Laser Therapy, Knee Pain, Testimonial · No Comments »

Mr. Royce R., a retired military man, drove three hours each way twice a week for 10 weeks from Henrietta, Texas to the DFW Spine & Joint Center in Irving, Texas for cold laser treatments to get knee pain relief.  The following is what Mr. R wrote, about his knee condition before Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program and after he completed treatments.  (He gave us permission to shae his testimonial.)

The pain in my right knee was excruciating.  It felt raw and like it was bleeding on the inside.  [I had to use a cane and wear knee braces to get around].  My left knee was showing signs of wear and tear from having to carry the added tasks to compensate for the pain I was having in my right knee. All activities felt like chores to perform.  It got to the point that I was dreading getting out of bed, walking, even riding in a car for short or long distances.  I was told by the orthopedic surgeon that I needed total knee replacements immediately.  I did not want to have knee surgery [so he sent me to a physical therapist.  The physical therapist felt that if he did exercises with me that my knees would get worse.  So I told him about what I had read about cold laser therapy and Dr. Schnee and he told me to go for it.]

I started Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program and after just the first knee treatment I could feel a difference.  I was able to perform activities that required the use of my knees. [Now] It feels great to be able to do things like walking, yard work, etc. without being concerned about the pain in my knees.  My overall improvement is a 360 degree difference.  I can now stand longer, I can walk without pain.  I can drive for lengthy distances! It’s easier to get in and out of the car and take out my lawn equipment.  I have hardly any pain when I’m bending down to pick up objects. [I don’t even use a cane anymore to get around].

I came into Dr. Schnee’s office worried about [the possibility of having to get] knee replacements, and injections.  [I was also worried about the cold laser treatments and if they would work] but now I can truthfully say that the treatment s have dispelled all [skepticism].  I tell everybody about my results and I highly recommend them to have it done! [I’m so happy the physical therapist was honest with me and advised me to try cold laser therapy first!]

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…

Fort Worth Cold Laser Patient No Longer Needs Pain Pills for Knee Pain

By Dr Schnee · May 21, 2010 · Filed in Cold Laser Therapy, Testimonial · No Comments »

The pain before completing Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program was enough that I needed to take 6-8 acetaminophens daily to work and sleep.  Every time I bent my knees they would lock up.  My knees were very painful in colder weather below 50 degrees F.  I didn’t feel like exercising.

I had not had  surgery  to my knees.  I was told by a surgeon five years ago to lessen my knee impact and a year before retirement he suggested I get both of my knees replaced.

Since completing Dr. Schnee’s Program I am very pleased.  For the first time in a long time, I am not on a continual diet of over the counter pain pills.  Everyone at the office has been most helpful, kind and friendly.  My improvement is allowing me to be very mobile without experiencing knee pain.  I would say my knees have improved 70-75%.  I understand that I won’t be able to do things a younger man does, but I can be mobile and exercise again.  Thanks!”

Before Finding Dr. Schnee He Contemplated Undergoing a Total Knee Replacement

Before starting Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program I had constant pain in the right knee when standing, walking or sleeping at night.  My knees also felt very unstable when I walked.  I tried medications, injections and arthroscopic knee surgery but none of those things helped.  I already had undergone a total knee replacement on my left knee so I was contemplating knee replacement for my right knee when I found Dr. Schnee.

I am so glad that I did Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program.  My right knee is now 75-80% better then it was before doing knee treatments.  I can now walk, stand and sleep through the night without much pain.  I am NOT contemplating a total knee replacement anymore.”

C.D., Dallas, TX

Patient mailed this unsolicited testimonial two months after he completed care in our office.

Doctors Note:  After examining Mr. D and taking x-rays of his right knee I diagnosed him with severe degenerative arthritis at the medial aspect (inside part of the knee-where the knees touch) of his knee joint.  He initially came in complaining of severe knee pain along with moderate swelling and stiffness.  He was unable to sleep through the night due to the pain in his knee.  He could hardly work because he had a difficult time standing and walking for any length of time.   After he completed knee treatments he is now able to sleep through the night without waking up from knee pain.   He is now able to work because he can stand and walk with very mild pain.  He does not feel that a total knee replacement is necessary at this time.

Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program Helped (Yet Another) Patient Avoid a Total Knee Replacement

By Dr Schnee · March 12, 2010 · Filed in Knee Pain, Testimonial · No Comments »

Knee Pain Was So Severe That Patient Could Not Put Weight On Her Knee, Had To Walk With A Limp, And Could Not Stand For Any Length Of Time

“Prior to starting Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program my knee pain was so bad I could only walk with a limp.  I could not stand up or stand for any length of time.  I was told I needed a knee replacement! I tried shots, medications, physical therapy but (those things did not help me).

Now I am able to stand for longer periods of time and I am able to put weight on my leg when walking.  My knee is 50-60% better then it was before starting knee treatments.  I am very happy and I feel the treatment helped me very much.

Thanks to all you guys for all your help.”

Are Synvisc Shots (Rooster Comb) Better then Cortisone Shots for Osteoarthritis Knee Pain?

By Dr Schnee · March 10, 2010 · Filed in Knee Injections, Knee Pain · No Comments »

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (American) published a study comparing the results of cortisone and Synvisc injections in patients diagnosed with osteoarthritis knee pain. One hundred patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomized to receive an injection in the knee joint of either Hylan G-F 20 (Synvisc) or a corticosteroid, and they were followed for six months. The patients treated with Hylan G-F 20 (Synvisc) received one course of three weekly injections. The patients treated with the corticosteroid received one injection at the time of enrollment in the study, and they could request one more injection any time during the study. An independent, blinded evaluator assessed the patients with the Osteoarthritis Western Ontario and McMaster UniversityIndex (WOMAC), a modification of the Knee Society rating system, and the visual analog pain scale.

Researchers concluded that after a six month follow up that there were no detected differences in knee pain or function between patients treated with Hylan G-F 20 injections (Synvisc) then those treated with a cortisone shot.  Interestingly, women demonstrated significantly less response to knee treatments than men did for both treatments on all three outcome scales.

Study:Arthroscopic Knee Surgery Provides Little Benefit-Try Conservative Knee Treatment First

By Dr Schnee · January 28, 2010 · Filed in Cold Laser Therapy, Osteoarthritis · No Comments »

According to leading Orthopedic Doctors in Israel, arthroscopic knee surgery is not an effective method for treating arthritis knee pain and conservative knee treatments should be performed first.  The following is excerpt is from a research study entitled, Osteoarthritis, the hazard of living longer: arthroscopy vs. conservative treatment.

“The lengthening of the average life span has led to an increase in degenerative diseases, among them osteoarthritis. Arthroscopy, which has been used extensively to decrease pain and inflammation and increase the range of motion, has recently been challenged as the treatment of choice… Since there is limited benefit to be gained from arthroscopy in cases where there is no mechanical damage to the knee, we suggest that nonsurgical, conservative methods be employed in treating the majority of cases of osteoarthritis.”

Women’s Health Magazine: Pine Bark Reduces the Need for Osteoarthritis Pain Meds By 58%

By Dr Schnee · January 13, 2010 · Filed in Health, Osteoarthritis · No Comments »

Pine Bark may reduce the symptoms of osteoarthritis, a condition affecting about 12 percent of Americans between the ages of 25-74 in which the cartilage covering and cushioning a joint breaks down.  Patients who took 100 milligrams of pine bark extract daily for three months reduced their stiffness by 53 percent, their pain by 55 percent and their need for meds by 58 percent.  The bark acts as a potent anti-inflammatory, says Giannie Belcaro Ph.D., of Chieti-Pescara University in Italy.(1)

 

Including natural supplements like Pine Bark to your daily routine is something easy you can make to help ease osteoarthritis symptoms of the knee. Taking a Pine Bark supplement is safer and has fewer side-effects then prescription medications.  Unfortunately, taking supplements will not cure knee problems such as arthritis, ‘bone on bone’, tendonitis, bursitis, meniscus tears, Baker’s Cyst’s, or post surgical knee pain.  However, based on the study referenced above there’s a good chance that it will help mitigate your knee pain.

Along with taking supplements, include Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program as part of your knee care treatment regime.  This will allow your knee to have the greatest chance of recovery.   Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program is considered a complete treatment program that combines specific cold laser treatment protocols,  along with other non-invasive modalities that help promote rehabilitation of the knee.  Every patients program is different depending on whether they suffer from knee pain due to arthritis, ‘bone on bone’ knee pain, meniscus tear knee pain, bursitis knee pain, tendonitis knee pain, 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.
