Chronic knee pain can make simple activities difficult, including walking, climbing stairs, exercising, standing from a chair, or enjoying time with family. At Positive Health and Wellness in Amherst, NY, Dr. John Zilliox provides non-surgical knee pain treatment options designed to help patients improve comfort, mobility, and quality of life without relying only on medication or invasive procedures.
Many patients visit our office after dealing with knee pain from osteoarthritis, previous injury, torn meniscus irritation, failed surgery, repetitive strain, or long-term joint degeneration. Every patient is different, which is why Dr. Zilliox begins with a consultation and examination to better understand the cause of the pain and determine whether non-invasive knee care may be appropriate.
Knee decompression therapy uses specialized equipment to gently reduce pressure inside the knee joint. The KNEE ON TRAC system is designed to provide safe and effective decompression for patients suffering from chronic knee pain due to osteoarthritis, previous injury, failed surgery, and other joint-related conditions.
Knee decompression is intended to help improve comfort and joint function by gently separating the knee joint surfaces. This may help reduce pressure, support improved joint movement, and create a better environment for the knee to function more comfortably.
At Positive Health and Wellness, we use a combination of MEDRAY PRIME Cold Laser therapy and KNEE ON TRAC decompression. Depending on your condition, Dr. Zilliox may also discuss additional non-invasive therapies such as Acoustic Wave Therapy or other supportive care options.
Knee pain can come from several different sources. Some patients have pain from wear-and-tear changes inside the joint, while others experience symptoms after a specific injury. Understanding the cause of the pain helps determine the best treatment approach.

Osteoarthritis causes the cartilage within a joint to break down and the underlying bone to begin changing. These changes usually develop slowly and may get worse over time. Osteoarthritis in the knee can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, reduced range of motion, and difficulty with daily activities.
Knee decompression therapy is believed to help support the movement of synovial fluid inside the joint. Synovial fluid is the thick liquid that lubricates the knee joint and helps maintain smoother movement.
A torn meniscus is one of the most common knee injuries. Any activity that causes forceful twisting or rotation of the knee, especially while bearing weight, may lead to a meniscus tear or irritation.
Each knee has two C-shaped pieces of cartilage that act like cushions between the femur and tibia. A torn meniscus may cause pain, swelling, stiffness, catching, locking, or difficulty fully extending the knee.
For patients who want to avoid or delay surgery, non-invasive knee pain treatment may provide an important conservative option. The goal is to reduce pain, improve joint function, and help patients return to normal activities with better comfort.
Acoustic Wave Therapy has been used in the medical field for decades and is now used as a therapeutic option for many musculoskeletal conditions. This treatment sends low-energy pulses into the affected area, where the pressure waves may help stimulate natural healing responses in the body.
For knee pain patients, Acoustic Wave Therapy may be considered when inflammation, soft tissue irritation, or chronic discomfort is contributing to symptoms. Dr. Zilliox will determine whether this therapy should be part of your customized knee pain treatment plan.
Cold laser therapy is another non-invasive option that may be used to support healing and reduce discomfort in the knee. At Positive Health and Wellness, the MEDRAY PRIME Cold Laser may be combined with knee decompression therapy to help address inflammation, pain, and soft tissue irritation.

Occasional soreness may improve with rest, but persistent or worsening knee pain should be evaluated. You should consider scheduling a consultation if knee pain is interfering with daily activities or limiting your ability to move comfortably.

No. Knee decompression therapy is non-surgical and does not require incisions, injections, or recovery time from an operation.
