The Knee Restoration Program at McNamara Chiropractic Center: A Non-Surgical Option for Knee Pain
Knee pain can quietly shrink your world. Stairs become a project, walks on the beach get shorter, and favorite activities like tennis, pickleball or golf start to feel out of reach. For people in Lighthouse Point, Pompano Beach and Deerfield Beach who want to explore non-surgical options, McNamara Chiropractic Center offers a structured Knee Restoration Program built around Knee-on-Trac® knee decompression.
The following overview is general information to help you understand the program and decide whether to ask about an evaluation.
Why knees get sore
The knee is a hinge that carries a lot of load. Over time, wear on the joint surfaces, irritation of the soft tissues around the knee, old injuries and changes in how we walk can all contribute to pain and stiffness. Foot mechanics and hip strength can also influence how stress travels through the knee. Because so many factors play a role, the first step at McNamara Chiropractic Center sciatica treatment Lighthouse Point is a thorough consultation and examination with Dr. Carol McNamara-Krauss, DC.
What Knee-on-Trac® decompression involves
Knee-on-Trac® is a decompression device designed specifically for the knee. It applies gentle, controlled traction intended to reduce compression in the joint while the patient relaxes. Sessions are planned as part of a series, and the settings are adjusted for comfort.
Within the Knee Restoration Program, decompression may be combined with other therapies available at the office, such as Class IV laser therapy, shockwave therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, massage therapy and, when foot mechanics appear to play a role, Foot Levelers custom orthotics fitted from an in-office 3D foot scan. Dr. McNamara explains which combination she recommends and why.
Who may be a candidate
People who commonly ask about the program include those with:
- Ongoing knee pain or stiffness that limits walking or stairs
- Knee discomfort that flares with sports or exercise
- Concerns about future knee replacement who want to explore conservative care first
Not everyone is a good fit. Some knee problems need imaging, an orthopedic opinion or other medical care. The practice prides itself on giving an honest assessment of whether a patient is likely to benefit before any program begins.
Realistic expectations
The Knee Restoration Program is described by the practice as a structured, non-surgical protocol. For some patients the goal is to avoid or delay surgery; for others it is to move more comfortably and return to activities they enjoy. Every knee is different, and outcomes vary. No program can guarantee a particular result, and progress is reviewed as care continues.
Supporting your knees between visits
- Stay active within comfortable limits; gentle walking, cycling or pool exercise are often easier on sore knees.
- Pay attention to footwear, especially if you spend long days in flip-flops or unsupportive sandals.
- Ask about simple strengthening ideas for the hips and thighs that fit your situation.
