"Thank you so much for helping me with my knee pain! The KNAP Program has given me back quality of life. I wish I had done this sooner and will spread the word to anyone I know who needs help."

Knee or shoulder pain can make everyday activities difficult and limit mobility. Stiffness when getting out of bed, discomfort during movement or avoiding activities due to pain may be signs of osteoarthritis, commonly known as wear and tear arthritis.

Osteoarthritis affects more than 10 million Americans and commonly impacts the knee and shoulder joints. It can occur due to aging, repetitive stress, prolonged standing, athletic activity or family history. As joint cartilage wears down, pain, stiffness and reduced function can develop over time. Until recently, long-term relief from severe joint pain caused by osteoarthritis often required joint replacement surgery.

Non-surgical treatment designed to reduce pain and help patients return to doing what they love

Under the care of Volkan Sumer, DO, the Knee Arthritis Program (KNAP) is a safe, effective alternative to joint replacement surgery. The knee and shoulder arthritis treatment program combines hyaluronan replacement therapy to cushion and lubricate your joint with a personalized physical therapy program from our on-staff physical therapy team that enhances muscle strength and mobility.

This advanced program focuses on relieving joint pain and improving function without surgery and is available for both knee and shoulder osteoarthritis. Using an ultrasound-guided hyaluronan replacement therapy, KNAP cushions and lubricates worn-down joints at the exact point it’s needed most, providing a non-invasive alternative to joint replacement surgery offering a more effective alternative to oral pain medications. Athletes, everyday workers, and anyone with a family history of arthritis can benefit from this revolutionary treatment.
