Knee conditions
Knee osteoarthritis treatment without surgery
Non-surgical regenerative treatments focused on reducing inflammation, improving joint function, and supporting cartilage preservation to help delay or avoid knee replacement surgery.
Understanding the condition
Knee Osteoarthritis Treatment
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Everyday movements, from stairs to standing up from a chair, can become uncomfortable and limiting.
Stem cell therapy plays a role in promoting cartilage repair and reducing inflammation in conditions like osteoarthritis and cartilage damage. By using the body’s own cells, this therapy helps support damaged tissue and enhance knee function.
Non-surgical options
What treatment can include
- Image-guided stem cell therapy (bone marrow aspirate concentrate)
- A personalized physical therapy and strengthening program
- Weight management to reduce stress on the knee joint
- Activity modification while the joint heals
Every treatment plan begins with a detailed assessment to determine the most appropriate course of care.
Recovery timeline
What to expect after treatment
All patients go home the same day. Mild soreness at the bone marrow collection site and injection areas is common for several days, as the healing process begins with a natural inflammatory response.
-
First few days
Mild soreness or stiffness is typical.
-
Weeks 2–6
Gradual improvement in pain, mobility, and daily function.
-
Months 2–6
Continued healing as stem cells and growth factors support tissue repair.

Patient reviews
Knee patients in their words
Dr. Movva has helped me get my life back. I had been told I needed a double knee replacement. I went to see Dr. Movva and he said it wasn't needed and he could help. I did his procedure and within a few weeks I was back to walking and a normal life. That has been 14 months ago and I still have no knee issues.
I wouldn’t think of seeing anyone else for joint repair! No knee replacements for me. Thank you, Dr. Movva and crew.
Dr. Movva’s stem cell and platelet approach to joint/knee treatment is amazing. Its kept me using my original knees and eliminated or reduced the pain significantly. I am very active and workout regularly and my knees are fantastic!

Can regenerative treatments help me avoid surgery?
Many patients seek regenerative orthopedic care because they want to delay or avoid surgery whenever appropriate. While surgery may still be necessary in some cases, our goal is to explore advanced non-surgical options that may help relieve pain, improve function, and support natural healing before considering surgical intervention.
Can regenerative treatments help if I've already been told I need surgery?
Some patients who have been advised to undergo surgery may still benefit from a regenerative orthopedic evaluation. Depending on the condition and its severity, advanced non-surgical treatments may be an option to help improve function or potentially delay surgery. However, surgery remains the best treatment for some conditions, and recommendations are made on an individual basis.
How long before I notice improvement?
Healing is a gradual biological process. Some patients begin noticing improvement within several weeks, while others continue to experience progress over several months as damaged tissues respond to regenerative treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on your diagnosis, severity of injury, treatment goals, and healing response. Some patients achieve their desired outcome after a single procedure, while others may benefit from a staged treatment plan.
