Common Causes of Knee Pain
The knee is the largest joint in the body and one of the most frequently injured. It bears the full weight of the body during standing, walking, and movement — and is vulnerable to both acute injury and cumulative wear and tear over time. At Magnolia Medical Center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, we treat a wide range of knee conditions including osteoarthritis — the most common cause of chronic knee pain in adults, involving gradual cartilage breakdown and joint space narrowing. Meniscus tears — injuries to the crescent-shaped cartilage discs that cushion the knee joint. Ligament injuries — including ACL, PCL, MCL, and LCL sprains and partial tears. Patellar tendinopathy — degeneration and inflammation of the patellar tendon, common in active individuals. Bursitis — inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the knee. Post-surgical pain — residual pain and dysfunction following previous knee procedures. Chronic chronic injury patterns where prior damage has not fully resolved.
Whatever the underlying cause of your knee pain, our team at Magnolia Medical Center conducts a thorough evaluation to understand the specific structural and biological factors involved before recommending a treatment approach.
Our Regenerative Medicine Approach to Knee Pain
Our regenerative medicine program at Magnolia Medical Center offers multiple advanced, non-surgical treatment options for knee pain. Rather than masking pain with injections of corticosteroids — which can accelerate cartilage breakdown over time — we use therapies that actively support tissue repair and joint restoration.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses a concentrated solution of your own growth factors, drawn from your blood and injected into the affected knee to stimulate cartilage repair, reduce inflammation, and support ligament and tendon healing. Wharton’s Jelly (human cellular tissue product) provides a rich source of growth factors, cytokines, and hyaluronic acid that support joint regeneration — particularly beneficial for more advanced knee conditions. Knee decompression therapy uses gentle, computer-controlled traction to create negative pressure within the knee joint, improving joint spacing, reducing nerve compression, and supporting circulation to damaged cartilage. Shockwave therapy delivers acoustic energy waves to the knee to stimulate cellular repair in tendons and connective tissue. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy reduces knee inflammation and supports cellular healing at the biophysical level. When systemic inflammatory or metabolic factors are contributing to your knee condition — such as chronic inflammation or insulin resistance — we integrate our functional medicine services to address the whole-body contributors to joint breakdown.

Knee Pain FAQs
Can regenerative medicine help me avoid knee surgery?
Many patients who come to Magnolia Medical Center hoping to avoid knee replacement or arthroscopic surgery are able to do so through our regenerative medicine program. Therapies like PRP, Wharton’s Jelly, and knee decompression can significantly reduce pain, improve joint function, and slow or reverse the progression of damage — particularly in earlier to moderate stages of knee osteoarthritis and after soft tissue injuries. Results vary based on the severity of your condition and your individual biology, and we’ll always give you an honest assessment during your evaluation.
What is PRP therapy for knee pain?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood, concentrating the platelets and growth factors through centrifugation, and injecting this concentrated solution directly into your knee. The growth factors in PRP stimulate the repair of cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and other knee tissues while reducing inflammation. It is a well-researched treatment for knee osteoarthritis and soft tissue injuries at Magnolia Medical Center in Murfreesboro, TN.
How long does it take to see results from knee pain treatment?
Results vary depending on the treatment approach and the nature and severity of your knee condition. PRP therapy typically produces noticeable improvement within 4 to 8 weeks as the regenerative process progresses. Decompression and shockwave therapies may produce faster symptomatic relief. We monitor your progress throughout the treatment program and adjust your plan based on your response. Most patients see continued improvement over 3 to 6 months following regenerative treatment.
Is knee decompression therapy painful?
No. Knee decompression therapy at Magnolia Medical Center is a gentle, comfortable procedure. Patients lie down while a specialized device applies controlled traction to the knee joint, creating gentle separation and negative pressure within the joint space. Most patients describe the sensation as comfortable or even pleasant. There is no pain, no incisions, and no recovery time required.
What is the difference between a cortisone injection and PRP for knee pain?
Cortisone injections are anti-inflammatory medications that provide short-term symptom relief — typically lasting weeks to months — but do not repair damaged tissue. Repeated cortisone injections may actually accelerate cartilage breakdown over time. PRP therapy, by contrast, uses your body’s own growth factors to actively stimulate tissue repair and joint regeneration — addressing the structural cause of pain rather than just managing symptoms. At Magnolia Medical Center, we favor regenerative approaches that support long-term joint health.
Can knee arthritis be treated without surgery?
Yes, particularly in mild to moderate stages. Our regenerative medicine program at Magnolia Medical Center has helped many patients with knee osteoarthritis achieve significant pain reduction and functional improvement without surgery. The combination of PRP or cellular therapy, knee decompression, PEMF, and anti-inflammatory support can meaningfully reduce pain, improve mobility, and slow disease progression.
