Freedom Integrated Medicine provides non-surgical knee pain treatment in South Jordan, Utah. We use regenerative medicine, knee decompression therapy, and medical grade laser therapy to help patients with bone-on-bone arthritis, meniscus injuries, and degenerative knee conditions avoid surgery and get back to living. Our doctors have treated over 800 patients since 2020, and most knee pain patients report significant improvement within the first 4 to 6 weeks of treatment. New patient exams are just $49 and include a full consultation, examination, and X-rays to find the root cause of your knee pain.
You were made to move. Knee pain doesn't get to take that from you.
We get it. You used to move without even thinking about it — getting off the couch, walking through the grocery store, playing with your grandkids, going up and down the stairs at work. And then one day, your knee started talking to you. A little stiffness here. A sharp catch there. And slowly, that whisper became a shout.
Maybe you’ve been told you need a knee replacement. Maybe you’ve tried cortisone shots that wore off after a few weeks. Maybe you’ve been handed a prescription for gabapentin or ibuprofen and told to “manage it.” We hear these stories every single day in our clinic, and here’s what we tell every patient who walks through our door: there are real options between doing nothing and going under the knife.
What's actually happening inside your knee?
Your knee is the most complex joint in your body. It’s held together by four major ligaments, cushioned by cartilage (your meniscus), lubricated by synovial fluid, and powered by the muscles in your thigh and calf. When any of these components break down — whether from an old injury, years of wear and tear, arthritis, or simple overuse — the joint becomes inflamed, stiff, and painful.
The most common causes of chronic knee pain we treat at Freedom Integrated Medicine include:
Osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease
the protective cartilage in your knee wears down over time, creating bone-on-bone contact, inflammation, and chronic stiffness. This is the #1 reason patients come to see us.
Meniscus tears and ligament injuries
whether from a sports injury, a fall, or simply twisting wrong getting out of a car, these injuries can cause catching, locking, swelling, and pain that doesn't resolve on its own.
Bursitis and tendonitis
repetitive stress on the knee joint from running, squatting, kneeling, or standing for long hours at work can inflame the small fluid-filled sacs and tendons around your knee.
Post-surgical pain
some patients come to us after a previous knee surgery that didn't fully resolve their pain, or to strengthen and rehabilitate the joint to avoid a second procedure.
How we treat knee pain — without surgery
At Freedom Integrated Medicine, we don’t just mask your pain with medication. We find the root cause and treat it using a combination of advanced therapies that work together to reduce inflammation, restore joint function, and stimulate your body’s own healing process.
Knee Decompression Therapy
This specialized machine gently stretches your knee joint into negative pressure, which stimulates your body's natural joint fluid production and blood flow. It also helps break down scar tissue and adhesions that limit your range of motion. Many patients feel relief during their very first session.
Medical Grade Laser Therapy
Our advanced therapeutic laser penetrates deep into damaged tissue to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and increase blood flow to the knee. This is the same technology used by professional sports teams to accelerate recovery.
Regenerative Injections (PRP, A2M, Umbilical Cord)
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) uses your own blood to concentrate healing growth factors and inject them directly into the damaged area. A2M (Alpha-2-Macroglobulin) helps protect cartilage from further breakdown. Umbilical cord-derived products provide additional regenerative support. These injections stimulate and support your body's natural healing response.
Chiropractic Alignment:
X-rays will show if your knee carries improper rotation or misalignment. We can realign the joint to take pressure off the surrounding tissues and stop the abnormal wear pattern that's making your condition worse.
What to expect at your first visit
Your first appointment is a $49 New Patient Exam that includes a one-on-one consultation with one of our doctors, a thorough physical examination, and X-rays if needed. We’ll take the time to actually listen to your story — when the pain started, what makes it worse, what you’ve already tried, and what your goals are. Then we’ll put together a personalized treatment plan designed specifically for your knee, your body, and your life.
No pressure. No high-pressure sales. Just honest answers about what’s going on inside your knee and whether our treatments can help. If we don’t think we can help you, we’ll tell you that too — and point you in the right direction.
Frequently asked questions about knee pain treatment
Can knee pain be treated without surgery?
Yes. Many patients with knee pain — even those diagnosed as bone-on-bone — can find meaningful relief through non-surgical treatments. At Freedom Integrated Medicine in South Jordan, Utah, we use knee decompression therapy, medical grade laser therapy, PRP injections, and chiropractic alignment to reduce pain, improve mobility, and slow the progression of joint damage without surgery.
What is knee decompression therapy?
Knee decompression is a specialized treatment that gently stretches the knee joint into negative pressure. This stimulates your body’s natural joint fluid production, increases blood flow to the damaged area, and helps break down scar tissue and adhesions. Many patients feel relief during their very first session. Sessions typically last 15 to 20 minutes.
How long does non-surgical knee treatment take to work?
Most patients at Freedom Integrated Medicine notice meaningful improvement within 4 to 6 weeks of starting treatment. The exact timeline depends on the severity of your condition, your age, and how consistently you follow your treatment plan. Some patients feel improvement after the first or second session.
How much does knee pain treatment cost?
New patient exams start at $49, which includes a consultation, full examination, and X-rays to identify the root cause of your pain. Treatment plans are personalized and vary depending on your condition. We offer payment plans and accept CareCredit financing to make treatment accessible.
Is regenerative medicine effective for bone-on-bone knees?
Regenerative treatments like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and A2M injections can help reduce inflammation, protect remaining cartilage, and stimulate healing even in advanced osteoarthritis cases. While they cannot regrow lost cartilage completely, many bone-on-bone patients experience significant pain reduction and improved function. Our doctors will evaluate your specific case during your $49 exam.
What is the difference between PRP and cortisone injections?
Cortisone is a steroid that temporarily reduces inflammation but does not promote healing — and repeated injections can actually weaken cartilage over time. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate tissue repair and natural healing. PRP addresses the cause, not just the symptoms.
Can I avoid knee replacement surgery?
Many patients come to us after being told surgery is their only option, and a significant number find enough relief through our non-surgical treatments to avoid or postpone knee replacement. The best way to find out if you’re a candidate is to schedule a $49 New Patient Exam so our doctors can evaluate your knee and discuss your options honestly.
Do you treat knee pain in Spanish?
