Knee Decompression Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment designed to reduce pressure on the knee joint, improve mobility, and help relieve pain and stiffness. Using controlled traction, the treatment gently separates the joint surfaces to temporarily decrease compression within the knee and provide a comfortable stretching effect.
Benefits of Knee Decompression
Knee decompression may be incorporated into a conservative treatment plan to help:
- Reduce knee pain and stiffness
- Decrease pressure on the knee joint
- Improve joint mobility and range of motion
- Support circulation around the treated area
- Improve comfort during everyday movement
- Complement chiropractic care and other non-surgical therapies
- Provide relief without injections or surgery
Conditions Knee Decompression May Help
Depending on the individual, knee decompression may be considered for osteoarthritis-related discomfort, chronic knee pain, joint stiffness, limited mobility, and certain overuse or activity-related conditions. Your provider will evaluate your symptoms to determine whether this therapy is appropriate for you.
How Does Knee Decompression Work?
During treatment, the knee is comfortably positioned and secured to a specialized decompression system. Controlled traction is then applied to gently stretch the joint and reduce compressive forces. Treatment settings can be adjusted based on your condition, comfort level, and individual needs.
Many patients find the treatment comfortable and relaxing. Because it is non-invasive, there are no incisions or injections, and patients can typically return to their normal daily activities following a session.
What to Expect
Your provider will evaluate your knee pain, medical history, mobility, and treatment goals before developing a personalized care plan. The number and frequency of sessions will vary depending on your condition and response to treatment.
