Joint Relief Institute Team

Why Choose Joint Relief Institute?

Knee replacement surgery doesn't come with any guarantees of restored movement or less pain and can sometimes lead to reliance on narcotic pain medication.

We don't want that for our patients if they can avoid it. Our aim is to educate you about your options so you can explore less invasive treatment options so that you are equipped to make the best decision for your mobility journey. If we do feel replacement surgery is your best choice, we'll tell you that too.

A Message From Our Founder

The top reason for getting a knee replacement is chronic pain — my area of specialization — but studies show many patients continue to have knee pain AFTER the surgery – pain that gets worse over time.

When you have a knee replacement, you close the door on your other options. The only thing you can do for pain after a knee replacement is take ever-increasing doses of mind-numbing and potentially addictive painkillers.

All these studies and statistics are from respected and widely read medical journals, however, these aren't statistics to me – they're real people. I see these patients every day at the Joint Relief Institute – people who are in pain after knee replacement surgery.

So, you can imagine how frustrating it is to meet people who are in pain that they never should have experienced. I'm talking about pain that came because they didn't get the right treatment, or they had a knee replacement they didn't need.

That is why I founded the Joint Relief Institute in 2015. I wanted to make sure that as many people with knee pain as possible can undergo a simple, low-risk, low-cost procedure that could change their lives.

Knee injections are safe, effective, painless, and without any side effects, so you have nothing to lose and potentially everything to gain by trying injections first.

Please don't decide that traumatic surgery is your only option without trying gel injections first.
