Knee Pain Relief
At GAINSWave®, we understand how knee pain can negatively impact your daily life. That’s why we help you connect with a GAINSWave®-trained provider so that you can get the care you need. The knee joint is a complex structure, relying on the coordination of ligaments, muscles, and bones. When pain strikes, it often signals a problem not just in the knee but in related areas such as the lower back, pelvis, hips, or even the foot.
At GAINSWave®, we offer a knee pain treatment that can help with everything from sports injury recovery to orthopedic concerns like arthritis.

What is Knee Pain?
Knee pain is any discomfort you feel in the knee or knee joint. People often have this chronic pain treated with knee replacement surgery and medication. However, GAINSWave® offers a safe alternative to surgery with our shockwave therapy protocol.
When knee pain becomes persistent, it starts affecting not just your physical health but your overall well-being. Every step can be a reminder of what you’re no longer able to do. The thought of invasive surgery or relying on medications might seem like your only choice. At GAINSWave®, we don’t want you to feel trapped by no-win options. Our shockwave therapy protocol is the key to long-term, non-invasive relief.

Acute Knee Injury
Sudden movements or impacts can strain the knee joint, causing injury.

Sudden changes in direction or improper landings can cause ACL tears, especially in athletes.

Repetitive movement or trauma, such as kneeling, causes inflammation in the knee bursa.
Knee Tendonitis
Overuse of the knee’s tendons, particularly the patellar tendon, can cause swelling and pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for knee pain to go away?
The duration depends on the type and severity of the injury. Minor strains might heal in a few days to a couple of weeks, while more serious injuries like ligament tears or chronic arthritis may take several weeks or months. Consistent treatment and adherence to your provider's treatment plan are key to making a full recovery.
Can exercise make knee pain worse?
Improper exercise can worsen knee pain. However, with proper guidance, gentle exercises that strengthen the muscles around the knee can help improve function. Low-impact activities like swimming or cycling are especially beneficial.
Can weight affect knee pain?
Excess weight places added stress on the knee joint, exacerbating pain. Losing weight can reduce strain and alleviate discomfort. Even modest weight loss can lead to noticeable improvement in knee health.
Is knee pain treatable without surgery?
Yes, many knee conditions can be treated non-invasively. At GAINSWave®, our unique shockwave protocol can enhance your healing through noninvasive means. We can connect you with providers we've trained to perform the GAINSWave® protocol.
