Knee pain relief at Brooklyn Spine Center

Knee pain that limits your stairs, walks, or sleep deserves a closer look. Brooklyn Spine Center uses the KneeOnTrac decompression system alongside cold laser and PEMF therapy to help relieve knee pain without surgery.

Finding what’s behind recurring knee pain

When knee pain keeps coming back, it’s often because the underlying cause hasn’t been fully addressed. We evaluate your knee for the mechanical and tissue-level factors behind your pain, including joint compression, cartilage wear, past injuries, and how your hips and spine load the knee.

What we commonly find driving persistent knee pain:

Joint compression that narrows the space in the knee and irritates the joint lining.
Cartilage wear that can lead to stiffness, grinding, and instability over time.
Old injuries that left behind scar tissue or changed how the knee moves.
Hip, gait, or low back problems that put uneven load on the knee.

Three therapies that work at the joint level

Our knee pain program combines KneeOnTrac decompression, cold laser, and PEMF therapy, sequenced within our four-milestone approach.

KneeOnTrac knee decompression

Applies a gentle, controlled pulling force to the knee to open the joint space, ease pressure between joint surfaces, and help move fluid and nutrients through the joint.

Cold laser therapy with the MedRay QuantumX

Helps calm inflammation in the knee and supports healing in the tendons, ligaments, and surrounding tissue.

PEMF therapy with the Pulse XL Pro

Supports circulation and cellular energy in and around the joint to help ease inflammation.

Chiropractic care for the mechanics around the knee

Adjustments to the low back, pelvis, hips, and ankles can reduce uneven load on the knee, which helps improvements from knee-specific therapies last. Learn more about chiropractic care.

KneeOnTrac

Exploring non-surgical options before knee surgery

Knee replacement is sometimes the right choice, and it’s a permanent one. Dr. Melinda Keller and our team believe non-surgical care is worth exploring first for appropriate patients. We’ll always be honest about what’s realistic for your knee, including when a surgical evaluation makes sense.

Decompression targets joint compression

KneeOnTrac addresses the joint space narrowing that often drives knee pain, without permanently changing the joint.

Cartilage needs the right environment

Severely worn cartilage can’t fully regrow, but easing pressure and supporting circulation gives the joint a better environment for healing.

Injections aren’t the only option

Cortisone can help with inflammation in the short term. Our care focuses on the mechanical and tissue factors behind your pain.

Surgery is a big decision

Knee replacement is permanent, so trying conservative care first is a reasonable step for many patients.

Questions about Knee Pain Relief

1. What knee conditions do you treat?

We treat osteoarthritis, degenerative joint disease, patellar tracking problems, meniscus irritation, ligament strains, tendinopathy, and chronic knee pain after an old injury or partial surgical repair. Learn more about the joint pain we treat.

2. Is the KneeOnTrac painful or uncomfortable?

Most patients find it comfortable, since the pulling force is applied gradually. If your knee is very inflamed, you may feel some sensitivity at first that usually eases over the first few sessions. Your doctor will adjust the settings as needed.

3. I've already had cortisone injections that stopped working. Can you still help?

Often, yes. Many of our knee patients have already tried cortisone. Our care focuses on joint compression and tissue health, which works differently from injections. Your evaluation will show whether it’s a good fit.

4. How long does a course of knee pain treatment take?

It depends on your knee condition, how long you’ve had it, and how your body responds. Your doctor will explain your recommended plan, including how often you’ll come in and how your therapies fit together.

5. Can both knees be treated at the same time?

Treating both knees is evaluated case by case. If both knees hurt, mention it at your first visit so your doctor can plan for it. See what to expect at your first visit.
