Knee pain manifests in many ways. Sometimes it’s a dull, deep ache; other times, it’s a terrifying, sharp, shooting, or burning pain. When your pain takes this electric, radiating form, it’s a strong indicator that the nerves running through or around your knee joint are being irritated or severely compressed.
This type of nerve-related pain is notoriously difficult to treat with simple pain pills. You may be prescribed high doses of medication just to dull the sensation, often leading to unwelcome side effects. But what if you could physically relieve the pressure on the nerve, instantly addressing the cause of the sharp pain?
Decompression: A Direct Nerve Relief Strategy
The knee joint, when inflamed or suffering from severe joint space loss (as in advanced arthritis), creates a highly pressurized, cramped environment. This pressure constantly impinges on the nerve endings, leading to that sharp, debilitating pain.
Non-Surgical Knee Decompression at Roach Spine and Disc Center offers a direct, physical solution to this nerve irritation:
- Creating Physical Space: Our technology gently distracts the knee joint, creating a crucial increase in the physical space between the bones and within the joint capsule. This immediately reduces the squeeze on the irritated nerve endings.
- Reducing Chemical Irritants: The decompression also reduces the concentration of inflammatory chemicals in the joint space. These chemicals can act as powerful nerve irritants. By improving fluid flow and reducing the mechanical trigger for inflammation, we calm the chemical environment around the nerves.
- Instant Symptom Reduction: For patients with this type of sharp, nerve-related pain, the relief experienced during and immediately after a decompression session can be profound. You are physically de-stressing the neural structures.
If your knee pain is characterized by sharp, shooting sensations, your problem is likely one of physical compression. It’s time to stop relying on drugs to cover up a mechanical issue. Choose the therapy that physically and gently gives your irritated nerves the space they need to heal.
