You've been told your knees are bone-on-bone. The doctor has mentioned knee replacement. And you're wondering if that's really the only path forward. In Episode 7 of The Decompression Authority Podcast, Dr. Chris Cameron shifts focus from the spine to the knee — and introduces a clinically supported, non-surgical treatment option that most patients with knee osteoarthritis are never told exists. Knee decompression therapy. And the research behind it is more compelling than you might expect. What You'll Learn in This Episode: → The anatomy of the knee joint — femur, tibia, patella, articular cartilage, and menisci explained simply → What bone-on-bone actually means — and what's happening inside the joint as cartilage breaks down → Why over 300 million people worldwide are affected by knee osteoarthritis — and why rates are rising → The conventional treatment staircase: NSAIDs → cortisone injections → knee replacement — and where it falls short → Why knee replacement has a lifespan of only approximately 15 years — a critical consideration for younger patients → What knee decompression therapy is and how the controlled joint distraction force works mechanically → How knee decompression reduces compressive load on remaining cartilage, promotes synovial fluid movement, and supports the joint's natural repair mechanisms → The randomized controlled trial from the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy — significant pain reduction and functional improvement maintained at follow-up → The Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases study — measurable cartilage thickness increase on MRI at one-year follow-up in patients who were candidates for total knee replacement → The 2020 Journal of Cartilage systematic review concluding knee joint distraction is a viable joint-preserving treatment with a favourable safety profile → What a full knee decompression treatment protocol looks like — session length, timeline, and what to expect → The Walk Strong Non-Surgical Knee Pain Relief Program at Cameron Family Chiropractic — combining knee decompression with shockwave therapy, laser therapy, gait analysis, and rehabilitative exercise → Who is and who is not a good candidate for knee decompression therapy Conditions Discussed in This Episode: Knee osteoarthritis | Bone-on-bone knee pain | Articular cartilage breakdown | Meniscus degeneration | Synovial joint dysfunction | Knee joint space narrowing | Knee replacement candidacy Treatments Discussed in This Episode: Knee decompression therapy | Knee joint distraction | Shockwave therapy | Laser therapy | Gait analysis | Gluteal and knee stabilization rehabilitation | NSAIDs | Cortisone injections | Total knee replacement Clinical References Cited: Becker, R. et al.
