Struggling with Chronic Knee Pain? You’re Not Alone
Chronic or recurring knee pain is one of the most common mobility issues we treat. It can stem from osteoarthritis, past injuries, or repetitive stress from daily activity. For many, the pain gradually worsens — limiting your ability to walk, exercise, or even stand comfortably for long periods. Common symptoms include stiffness, swelling, instability, and sharp pain during movement. These often signal deeper issues such as cartilage degeneration, tendon irritation, or joint misalignment that haven’t been properly addressed.
Non-Surgical Knee Pain Relief in Jacksonville: A Smarter Path to Healing
At Physical Healthcare of Jacksonville, we help patients explore non-surgical options to support mobility and comfort. Our approach includes advanced biologic support (including VittiPure), gentle chiropractic care, and soft tissue therapies focused on the whole-body experience — not just short-term relief. Whether you’re recovering from an old injury or managing arthritis-related knee pain, we provide personalized, drug-free care options to help you move better and feel stronger.What Causes Knee Pain to Linger?
Knee pain often develops gradually — or worsens over time — due to a combination of structural strain and unresolved inflammation. Some of the most common causes we see include:- Osteoarthritis – Degeneration of cartilage in the joint, often related to aging or activity
- Overuse and repetitive stress – Especially common in runners, active professionals, and manual laborers
- Old injuries – Including sprains, meniscus tears, and fractures that never fully healed
- Tendon or ligament damage – Resulting from sports injuries or microtrauma over time
- Poor alignment or posture – Spinal or pelvic misalignment shifts weight onto the knees unnaturally
Why Avoid Cortisone and Surgery for Knee Pain?
When knee pain becomes disruptive, many patients are told their options are limited to cortisone injections or surgery. While both have their place in certain cases, they are often recommended prematurely — before safer, conservative therapies have been explored. Here’s what patients need to understand: Cortisone Injections Cortisone injections may reduce inflammation and relieve pain for a few weeks or months, but they don’t help the joint heal. In fact, studies show that repeated cortisone use can weaken cartilage, increase the risk of tendon rupture, and accelerate joint degeneration over time. It’s a quick fix — not a long-term solution. Surgery Surgical interventions, like arthroscopic repair or total knee replacement, require significant recovery time, physical therapy, and carry potential risks such as infection, blood clots, or incomplete symptom resolution. Many patients find that even after surgery, the original pain or stiffness returns — especially if the root cause wasn’t properly addressed. Most importantly, neither option corrects biomechanical problems like joint instability, postural misalignment, or chronic muscular imbalance — all of which can contribute to recurring pain even after an injection or surgical procedure. Our care model emphasizes natural, progressive techniques that may support joint function and mobility over time.Regenerative Knee Therapy in Jacksonville
At our Jacksonville clinic, we take a comprehensive, non-invasive approach using therapies designed to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and restore movement. This may include:VittiPure: A Next-Level Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy
VittiPure is a lab-prepared regenerative matrix derived from Wharton’s Jelly, a tissue found in the umbilical cord. While not FDA-approved for treating any medical condition, it is used in our clinic as a supportive, minimally manipulated product designed to promote joint comfort and mobility. Many patients explore it as part of a comprehensive, non-surgical approach. We call it a “No Stick, No Spin, No Doubt” regenerative therapy because:- No blood draw or PRP spinning
- No centrifuge kits or wait times
- No dependence on patient’s own growth factor quality
Spinal Alignment and Postural Correction for Knee Relief
Knee function is directly affected by the spine and pelvis. Through non-force chiropractic care like Atlas Orthogonal chiropractic, we restore structural alignment. This relieves abnormal pressure on the knees and supports functional recovery throughout the musculoskeletal system. Alignment-based care complements regenerative treatments and often accelerates results.Cold Laser Therapy and Joint Bracing
We use advanced cold laser therapy (low-level laser therapy) used to support tissue recovery and promote comfort in soft tissues. When necessary, custom bracing is applied to promote joint stability as patients regain mobility and confidence. This combination of biologic and structural support helps patients walk, squat, and climb stairs with less pain.More Than Just PRP: Natural Tissue Support Therapies
While VittiPure is a cornerstone of our care, we also offer complementary biologic therapies that go beyond platelet treatment alone. These advanced methods are designed to amplify the body’s natural repair process, helping patients return to activity without the need for surgery or long-term medications.What Results Do Our Patients See?

Frequently Asked Questions
VittiPure is a regenerative matrix derived from Wharton’s Jelly that contains a wide array of naturally occurring proteins and growth factors. While not FDA-approved to treat specific conditions, it is selected for its consistency and ease of use in supportive care models.
For some patients, yes. Many individuals report improvement with consistent conservative care, though results vary. Our non-surgical care model is designed to address pain early and prevent it from worsening. While it may not reverse severe joint damage, it often delays or eliminates the need for surgery in mild to moderate cases.
Regenerative therapies like VittiPure are not typically covered by insurance, but many patients find the long-term benefits and reduced need for surgery, medication, or rehab worth the investment. We’ll review all your options with you upfront.
Most patients report gradual improvement over several weeks. You may notice less pain, greater range of motion, and improved joint function as inflammation decreases and tissue healing progresses.
Not necessarily. We often encourage low-impact movement and will guide you on activity modifications that protect your knee while promoting circulation and flexibility. In many cases, staying active supports faster healing.
