Knee Decompression in West Greenwich

Have you been suffering from chronic knee pain or arthritis? 

Do you have any of the following conditions? Aching knee pain, a grinding sensation, “bone on bone” arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, cartilage damage or weakness in your knees and legs?

Would you like to regain your life again and get back to enjoying simple daily activities like walking, shopping, golfing, or even just standing without debilitating pain in your knees in West Greenwich?

Many people have been told that knee surgery is their only option, and that they have simply “worn out” their joints. The problem is that what your doctors don’t tell you is that it’s just not that simple. To truly repair your knee pain we must understand what is really causing your problem. Everyone with arthritis knows the cartilage that cushions their joints is wearing out, but why? 

The easiest way to explain why this happens is to think of the alignment on your car. If you have one tire on your vehicle that is constantly wearing out, you can patch that tire (which is what the shots in your knees are like), and you can even replace the tire (like a knee surgery) but what happens if you never fix the car’s alignment?

You’re exactly right, the tire just keeps wearing out unevenly and you’re back at square one. Now what does this have to do with your knee pain?

The alignment, or stability in your knees is maintained by the muscles that surround the joint. These muscles are fed by nerves that come from your spine (specifically the L4 and L5 levels). The problem is that as we age these nerves can be compressed by bulging or herniated discs, a condition known as spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease.

When this happens the muscles that protect the knee don’t do their job properly, causing increased stress on the joints. This is why medications, therapy, and injections in the knees often only provide temporary relief– they aren’t getting to the real cause of the problem!

This is also why so many people suffering with chronic knee pain tell us that their legs feel weaker than they use to or that their knees will just “give out on them” sometimes. Now you understand why!

KNEE problems or pain might NOT necessitate surgery

Chiropractic Neurology DISC Center of West Greenwich has effectively treated individuals with knee discomfort without resorting to surgery.

If you’ve been told you should consider Knee replacement surgery, contact our team to learn more about your options. In the United States, over one-third of knee replacement procedures are not useful or necessary for the patient. A botched surgery can result in lost time from work and family, as well as persistent pain. A total knee replacement is traditionally thought to be the only lasting treatment for severe knee pain, along with surgeries and prescription medicines. This is not the case, as our staff can attest!

It should be emphasized that this is a long-term solution that will be difficult to reverse if difficulties arise during the operation.

That’s why patients should always look into non-surgical alternatives and exhaust all other possibilities before making such a life-altering, and often costly, decision. Our clinic offers nonsurgical options for treating knee pain at its source, and we’ve helped thousands of patients avoid the risks of knee replacement surgery by supporting them in overcoming pain and resuming a more active, healthy, and happy lifestyle. Clinical knee pain caused by degenerative joint disease and osteoarthritis is one of the most frequent health disorders in the United States today, affecting tens of millions of people.

Our highly trained staff works closely with our doctors to provide you with a professional and friendly experience. At our center, we view our patients as part of our family. We are happy you have chosen us and look forward to meeting you!

NON-SURGICAL KNEE THERAPY

At The Chiropractic Neurology DISC Center of West Greenwich, we use a breakthrough technology to treat chronic knee pain safely without drugs or surgery. At our facility, we use the ACCU-Knee Knee Decompression device and Class 3b Low Level Laser Therapy among other advanced adjunctive therapeutic modalities. Our protocol is an outpatient, non-surgical procedure that is used to decrease pain and inflammation. This same therapy is used by professional sports teams including the New York Yankees, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia Phillies, and the U.S. Olympic Team.

Even more important is the fact that high intensity laser therapy has been shown to regenerate the damaged cartilage on the surfaces of the joints. The energy from the laser accelerates the growth of the cartilage cells, helping the knees glide more smoothly with less pain.

The amount of treatment needed to allow the joints and nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and orthopedic evaluation.

NON-INVASIVE KNEE SOLUTIONS

Chronic knee pain can significantly limit your ability to walk, exercise, and perform daily activities. For many patients, the underlying issue involves joint compression—where the space within the knee joint is reduced, placing excessive pressure on cartilage, menisci, and surrounding structures.

Accu-Knee non-surgical knee decompression is an advanced, targeted therapy designed to gently relieve this pressure and restore a more biomechanical environment within the knee joint.

Using a precisely controlled system, Accu-Knee applies intermittent distraction forces to the knee. This process works by creating measurable separation within the joint space, which can help:

• Reduce mechanical compression on cartilage and meniscus
• Improve joint lubrication and nutrient exchange
• Decrease inflammation and irritation
• Enhance mobility and function
• Promote the body’s natural healing processes

Unlike generalized traction or passive therapies, Accu-Knee is specific, repeatable, and customized to each patient’s condition. The treatment is comfortable, non-invasive, and requires no downtime.

What Conditions Can It Help?

Knee decompression may be beneficial for patients experiencing:

• Degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis)
• Meniscal injuries or degeneration
• Chronic knee pain and stiffness
• Joint space narrowing
• Post-injury or overuse syndromes

---

What to Expect

During treatment, the knee is stabilized and positioned in the Accu-Knee system. Gentle, controlled decompression cycles are applied, allowing the joint to gradually open and relax. Most patients report a stretching or relieving sensation, not pain.

Treatments are typically performed as part of a comprehensive plan, which may include supportive therapies to maximize results and improve long-term stability.

Why Choose Non-Surgical Decompression?

For patients looking to avoid injections or surgery, knee decompression offers a conservative, evidence-informed option that targets the root mechanical cause of many knee conditions—joint compression.

Our goal is not just temporary relief, but to help restore proper joint mechanics so you can move better, feel better, and return to the activities you enjoy.
