Understanding Knee Pain
Knee pain is one of the most common conditions we treat at Concept Chiropractic & Regenerative Medicine. Whether your discomfort comes from osteoarthritis, sports injuries, meniscus tears, or ligament damage, living with knee pain can limit your independence and reduce your quality of life. Many patients try medications, cortisone shots, or even surgery without finding lasting relief. Our Fairfax clinic provides an alternative — comprehensive, non-surgical knee pain treatment combining chiropractic care, PRP therapy, and regenerative medicine.
Common Causes of Knee Pain
Bursitis
Inflammation of the bursae that cushion the knee.
Arthritis
Arthritis (Osteoarthritis & Rheumatoid Arthritis): Cartilage breakdown leading to swelling, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Tendonitis & Patellar Tendonitis
(Jumper’s Knee): Overuse injuries causing front-of-knee pain.
Ligament Injuries
Ligament Injuries (ACL, MCL, PCL, LCL): Often from sports or traumatic accidents.
Meniscus Injuries
Cartilage tears that cause pain, catching, or locking in the joint.
Traditional Knee Pain Treatments (and Their Limitations)
Most conventional treatments only mask symptoms without repairing damaged tissue.
- NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Naproxen): Reduce pain but can cause stomach irritation, kidney strain, or long-term side effects.
- Cortisone Injections: Temporarily relieve inflammation but may weaken tendons, accelerate cartilage breakdown, and provide diminishing benefits over time.
- Surgery or Knee Replacement: Invasive, costly, with long recovery times and potential complications. Many patients still experience pain or limited mobility afterward.
These options fail to restore tissue health. That’s why more patients in Fairfax, Vienna, and McLean turn to PRP and regenerative medicine for safe, long-term solutions.
Advanced Knee Pain Solutions – Regenerative Medicine and PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
Regenerative Medicine for Knee Pain
Regenerative Medicine represents the next generation in joint restoration. By harnessing specialized cells capable of differentiating into cartilage, bone, and connective tissue, regenerative therapy targets the root cause of degeneration rather than just relieving symptoms.
Advantages of Regenerative Medicine for Knees:
- Promotes true tissue repair instead of masking pain
- Reduces inflammation and protects cartilage
- Helps regenerate cartilage in arthritic knees
- May delay or prevent knee replacement surgery
- Provides longer-lasting results than cortisone or medications
Potential Side Effects:
- Mild soreness or stiffness at injection site
- Gradual results (healing occurs over months, not overnight)
- Rare complications such as infection
PRP Therapy for Knee Pain
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) uses your own blood, processed to concentrate platelets rich in growth factors. Injected into the knee joint, PRP stimulates tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and encourages cartilage healing.
PRP is highly effective for:
- Knee arthritis and early degenerative changes
- Meniscus and ligament injuries
- Chronic tendonitis and overuse conditions
Benefits of PRP:
- Natural, drug-free healing
- Safe with minimal downtime
- Can slow joint degeneration
- May reduce or eliminate the need for surgery

COMMON KNEE DIAGNOSES CCRM CAN IDENTIFY
Knees are multifaceted, weight-bearing joints that supply your body with flexibility, foundation, and a broad range of movement. Because of the knee’s intricacy and the amount of usage it gets during a lifetime, it is vulnerable to injury and is very commonly injured in athletes, children, and seniors. Below are some of the most common issues we can identify and treat:
- Knee Osteoarthritis (OA)
- Post Total Knee Replacement Pain (Post TKR)
(Knee replacement is NOT the only option! Let us show you IF you are truly “bone on bone”) - Patello-Femoral Joint Pain/Syndrome
- ITB Friction Syndrome (Runner’s Knee)
- Meniscus Fibrocartilage Tears
- Pre-Patellar Bursitis
- Patellar Tendinopathy (Jumper’s Knee)
- Medial and Lateral Collateral Ligament Strain and Tears (MCL, LCL)
- Posterior Cruciate Ligament Strain and Tears (PCL)
Frequently Asked Questions FAQs
Can chiropractic care really help with knee pain?
Yes. Chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment and improve the way your knee absorbs pressure. By addressing imbalances in the hips, spine, and ankles, chiropractic care can reduce strain on the knee joint.
How do Regenerative Medicine treatments and PRP therapy compare to cortisone injections?
Cortisone reduces inflammation but does not repair tissue, and repeated injections can damage cartilage. PRP, on the other hand, promotes healing by stimulating your body’s own repair mechanisms, providing longer-lasting results.
How long before I feel results from Regenerative Medicine and PRP therapy?
Most patients begin to notice improvement within 4–6 weeks, with continued progress over several months as tissue heals. Results vary depending on the severity of the condition.
Can regenerative medicine help avoid knee replacement surgery?
In many cases, yes. Patients with moderate arthritis or injuries often experience enough improvement with PRP and other regenerative therapies to delay or avoid surgery.
Is PRP therapy safe?
Yes. PRP uses your own blood, so the risk of rejection or side effects is extremely low. Mild soreness at the injection site is the most common temporary effect.

Why Go With Concept Chiropractic and Regenerative Medicine?
Most people reporting “bone on bone” from their doctors’ reports actually show more than sufficient cartilage is still living in their knee! We can SEE the cartilage with our diagnostic ultrasound technology with every patient.
Meniscus tears most commonly occur in the medial meniscus where the most blood supply is located. This makes the meniscus receptive to the repairing growth factors from your body.
An unstable knee is often the result of weakness of the surrounding musculature and laxity of knee ligaments, along with other structures. CCRM can visualize and dynamically test the structural integrity of your knee under live ultrasound imaging. This helps to provide specific treatment to the involved ligaments.
Avoid the PAIN and RISK and COST and DOWN TIME of surgery. We are here for you every step of the way!
