Knee Injuries Respond to Regenerative Therapy

Dr. Robert Krasnick, owner of Krasnick Regenerative Medicine, offers regenerative solutions for knee pain resulting from a variety of issues. The knee endures a great deal of stress in supporting the body’s weight. It connects the thigh bone to the two bones of the lower leg and is supported by ligaments known as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament, the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament. There are two menisci in each knee that are made from cartilage and act as cushions.

            He says, “Knee pain can arise from osteoarthritis of the knee, meniscal tears, ligament and tendon injuries, specifically an ACL sprain or tear, a MCL injury and quadriceps tendonitis. Athletes in particular can be subject to knee injuries and in particular jumper’s knee, patellofemoral syndrome, and quadriceps and patellar tendonitis. Fortunately, knee injuries are particularly responsive to regenerative medicine therapies.”

            Krasnick has practiced regenerative medicine using a holistic approach for patients with chronic joint, back, neck, wrist, ankle, knee and hip pain, arthritis and sports injuries for more than 25 years.
