Knee Conditions We Treat
Knee pain slows you down, making it hard to function, stay active, and enjoy life.
As much as we depend on our knees for mobility, they are also quite vulnerable. Your pain could be due to recent or old injuries (meniscus) or overuse (runners’ knee). There's also postural impairments (bow legs) and degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis. Often, these problems become worse over time.
Knee pain also means that other areas, like hips and feet, are at considerable risk. The anatomy of the knee can make conditions difficult to resolve. Because knee surgery has often less than optimal outcomes, it should be your last resort.
In Pain for 9 Months – Gone in 3 Weeks
"I woke up one morning, no apparent thing happened, but I had fluid on my knee and it was very painful. I was told I’d need surgery, but that I would have to wait about 2 years. It was very limiting. And I was worried the problems would get worse during the wait time. I even thought of getting surgery elsewhere.
When I realized that I would not be able to pay for the procedure, despite some insurance coverage, I had basically tried all I could think of that was recommended to try and solve the problem.
And then I heard of Dr. Jaepel from a friend here in town and after the assessment, I was feeling much better already. I’d say after the third session with him all the fluid on my knee was gone. I could walk much better, the pain was gone. And from that point on it just continued to improve and strengthen. In short: In pain for 9 months –gone in 3 weeks.”
