Are you experiencing knee pain symptoms such as popping, clicking, bone-on-bone grinding, achiness, or sharp stabs? You're not alone in this journey. Knee pain affects nearly 25% of adults in the United States, causing discomfort, swelling, and chronic pain that can hinder everyday activities like childcare, walking, and exercise. Shockingly, recent statistics from The American Academy of Family Physicians indicate a 65% increase in diagnosed knee pain cases.
In a world where invasive surgeries and prescription painkillers are often the default solutions, it's crucial to explore the effective non-invasive options that are available. These alternative treatments provide relief without the associated risks of surgery.

Let's take a closer look at some of the knee pain treatments available at NJ Sports Spine and Wellness, which all serve as great alternatives to knee replacement surgery.
Physical Therapy:
The field of Physical Therapy (PT) aims to rehabilitate individuals who have experienced injury, illness, or disability by restoring their mobility and function. Physical therapists cater to patients of various ages and capabilities, ranging from young athletes to senior citizens, in order to help them surpass physical limitations and improve their standard of living with advanced knee pain treatment in Old Bridge, NJ.
At NJ Sports Spine and Wellness, our physical therapy program was founded on a patient-centric philosophy, where physical therapists work closely with patients to get a deep understanding of their goals, preferences, and capabilities. In doing so, they can create a tailor-made treatment strategy to address their unique knee pain with the goal of avoiding a knee replacement. Treatment may involve exercises that are therapeutic in nature and can include:
This unique knee pain solution involves physical therapists using skilled manual therapy techniques to help improve your joint range of motion while simultaneously reducing your knee pain.
During joint mobilization, a physical therapist applies targeted pressures or forces to a joint in specific directions to improve its mobility. The intensity of the force applied can vary, and it is adjusted based on the patient's comfort level. Joint mobilization is generally pain-free.
Advanced Mechanics and Technology:
While knee pain is a common symptom that affects millions of Americans every year, no two cases of knee pain are ever exactly alike. Some types of knee injuries require non-traditional solutions. At New Jersey Sports Spine and Wellness, we offer a range of treatments that leverage mechanics and technology to help patients recover from injuries while treating inflammation and pain as well as resolve the root cause of the pain.
The AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill is equipped with NASA Differential Air Pressure (DAP) technology, which is a precise air calibration system that uses the user's actual body weight to enhance rehabilitation and training. By utilizing a pressurized air chamber, the AlterG allows patients and athletes to move without any pain or restrictions.
This advanced knee pain treatment in Old Bridge, NJ uniformly reduces gravitational load and body weight up to 80% in precise 1% increments. The results can be incredible, with patients reporting benefits such as:
The AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill can monitor various metrics such as speed, gait pattern, stride length, and weight distribution. With real-time feedback and video monitoring, your rehabilitation team can promptly and accurately identify issues and pain points or monitor your progress throughout your knee pain rehabilitation journey.
One of the key benefits of this cutting-edge equipment is that it replicates natural walking and movement patterns without the artificial feel that hydrotherapy or harnesses create. This makes it an excellent choice for faster recovery after knee injuries or surgeries, as it allows for early mobilization while also preserving strength. Furthermore, it is ideal for sports recovery as athletes can use it for physical conditioning maintenance.
Our advanced treatment modalities for knee pain include laser therapy, which harnesses the revolutionary power of light through photobiomodulation (PBM). LiteCure⢠low-level laser therapy is available for acute and chronic types of knee pain and can be hugely beneficial when coupled with physical therapy, occupational therapy, chiropractic care, and sports recovery care.
PBM is a medical treatment that harnesses the power of light to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. The photons from the light penetrate deep into the tissue and interact with mitochondria, which results in a boost in energy production. This interaction sets off a biological chain reaction that increases cellular metabolism. Utilizing low-level light therapy has been shown to:
Exclusive Access to
At NJ Sports Spine & Wellness, we know that every patient requires a personalized approach to chronic knee pain and condition management. Sometimes, our patients need access to pain management professionals, who can offer relief in conjunction with physical therapy and other solutions like low-level laser therapy.
Two of the most common services we offer for pain management includes acupuncture which can assist in avoiding knee replacement surgery.
Acupuncture is a common treatment for knee pain that involves inserting thin needles into specific points in your knee. This ancient Chinese medicine has gained popularity in Western culture due to its effectiveness in treating various conditions with minimal side effects.
Acupuncture works by stimulating the nervous system to release various biochemicals, including endorphins and other neurotransmitters. The release of these chemicals helps to reduce inflammation, decrease pain perception, and improve overall blood circulation.
Multiple studies have shown that acupuncture can be effective in treating knee pain caused by a variety of conditions, including osteoarthritis and injuries related to physical activity like running. Acupuncture can also help reduce inflammation, improve muscle function, and decrease pain perception, making it a viable treatment on its own or as an addition to traditional treatment methods like physical therapy.
When undergoing acupuncture, a professional acupuncturist will insert thin needles into specific acupoints on the skin. These needles are left in place for roughly 20 to 30 minutes and may be gently stimulated for an enhanced effect. Patients might experience a slight tingle or warmth at the needle insertion site, but overall, acupuncture is considered a painless procedure.
Acupuncture has been a trusted and effective treatment option for thousands of years. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes acupuncture as a legitimate form of healthcare, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has even funded research studies to explore its efficacy for a range of medical conditions.

Heirloom Kitchen is a decade-old restaurant and cooking school in Old Bridge with a James Beard Award-nominated chef at its helm. This week, it made national news: Along with 46 other restaurants across the country, Heirloom Kitchen was included in the 2024 USA TODAY Restaurants of the Year list.
"Whenever you receive recognition it's a wonderful honor," said Heirloom Kitchen founder and partner Neilly Robinson. "It's not why we do what we do, but it does feel amazing to know that we are being chosen and seen. It makes all the sacrifice and hard work feel rewarding."
How many have you been to?Check out USA TODAY's 2024 Restaurants of the Year
Our criteria forUSA TODAY's Restaurants of the Year for 2024
Robinson founded Heirloom Kitchen in 2013 as a cooking school and a place for people to go for food education without schlepping to New York City. Three years later, she decided to give it another life as a joint restaurant venture and asked David Viana to be partner and executive chef. Those days, his career was a far cry from his later James Beard Award semifinalist nomination and run on Bravo's "Top Chef."
"I was living paycheck to paycheck, and I was about to quit cooking," Viana said. "Neilly proposed this idea and I never heard of anything like it before. At that point, it was my last ditch effort to try and salvage something out of what I was about to give up on. I thought it sounded kind of cool and at the very least would be exciting."
Viana's intuition was right, although from Heirloom Kitchen's strip mall exterior, it's hard to imagine excitement. Get past that facade and discover a warm space full of tables with mismatched chairs — including a table from Robinson's mother's house. There's also a cookbook nook adorned with a circa-1920s Glenwood stove.
Creative and colorful renditions of international dishes are served before a buzzing open kitchen, where guests can pick the brains of some of the most acclaimed chefs in the state while they dine on high-end fare from a prix fixe menu.
"You get a real juxtaposition from the strip mall exterior, and then you’re transported into this lavish best friend’s home with this pristine kitchen as the forefront," said Viana. "It's kind of this entertainment stage, where these chefs are performing and this cozy setting feeds off this energy from the kitchen."
Every week, at least one item leaves Heirloom Kitchen's $89 four-course prix fixe menu, never to return. However, a recent menu included these two dishes:
Lamb with qutab, yogurt, sumac, pistachio eggplant and pomegranate: A pocket of ground lamb with herbs that creator chef Jessica Menshoff compared to a pierogi, this lamb dish was inspired by Menshoff's Azerbaijani heritage. "Every element of the dish is so unique and flavorful," general manager Desiree Martin said. "It stands out so much that it transports you to a different place, growing up and cooking in the kitchen with her family."
Duck with Kashmiri curry, dal, brown butter celeriac, tamarind duck jus and garlic naan: Don't let the curry in this dish fool you. Kashmiri curry, which isn't used as much as other Indian curries, is sweet with hints of tomato and nutmeg. "My inspiration was that I don't see new curries on menus and it's always the same run-of-the-mill curries, so I wanted to showcase Indian curries that don't get a lot of love," chef de cuisine Zachary Abramzon said. He also used tamarind in this dish as an homage to the sauces he loves to slather on Indian eats.
Heirloom Kitchen features a four-course prix fixe menu, where guests "choose their own adventure," Viana said, and select one dish per course. On Sundays at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. at the chef's counter, and at 5:30 p.m. at the back counter, the chefs do the choosing with a seven-course curated tasting menu for $120 per person. It started in mid-2023 and changes every week, offering only off-menu items.
"We wanted to offer a menu where the chef curated the entire experience and added a greater sense of harmony and importance to every course," Viana said.
