If you have been told you may need a knee replacement, you are not alone, and you have every right to ask what else is available before you decide. Knee replacement is a major surgery with a real recovery period, and many people want to understand their nonsurgical options first.

The Joint Regeneration Group focuses on nonsurgical care for knee pain, osteoarthritis and joint pain. Your first step is a $0 New Patient Knee Consultation, where a provider reviews your history, your symptoms and your goals and explains which options may fit you.

## Why people look for alternatives to knee replacement

Knee replacement can be the right answer for some people. Still, many patients want to know whether they can ease their pain and keep moving without an operation, a hospital stay and weeks of rehabilitation.

Common reasons people ask about alternatives include:

- They want to avoid the risks and recovery time that come with major surgery
- They cannot step away from work, family or caregiving for a long recovery
- They have been told surgery is the only choice and want a second opinion
- Their pain is getting worse, but they are not ready to commit to an operation

## Nonsurgical options we can talk about

The right plan depends on your diagnosis, how far your condition has progressed and what you want to get back to doing. Options a provider may discuss with you include our Nonsurgical Knee Pain Protocol, platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy and the Advanced Arthritis Relief Protocol, along with guidance on activity and weight management.

No single option works for everyone, and results vary from person to person.

## What happens at your $0 consultation

Your visit is simple and unhurried. You tell us what hurts and what you want to be able to do again, and a provider listens and examines your knee.

- Share your history, symptoms and any imaging or reports you already have
- Have your knee examined by a provider
- Learn which nonsurgical options may fit your situation

## Is knee replacement ever the right choice?

Sometimes it is. If our provider believes surgery is the better path for you, they will say so honestly. Our goal is to help you make an informed choice, not to talk you out of surgery that you truly need.
