Osteoarthritis and Knee Pain Program
Advanced relief for chronic nerve pain and mood-related symptoms when other treatments have failed.
Our Osteoarthritis and Knee Pain Program offers a personalized, non-surgical approach to joint pain relief using Autologous Protein Solution (APS) —a cutting-edge treatment that uses your own blood to target inflammation and improve joint health.

What Is Autologous Protein Solution (APS) Therapy?
APS therapy is designed to restore balance within your knee joint by introducing concentrated “good” proteins and growth factors extracted from your own blood. These proteins help block inflammatory signals (the “bad” proteins) and support cartilage repair, offering long-term relief from osteoarthritis-related pain.

The APS procedure is performed in-office and typically takes about 60–90 minutes. A small blood sample is drawn, processed in a specialized centrifuge to concentrate anti-inflammatory proteins, and then injected into your affected joint using image-guided technology for precision.
