Finding Relief from Bone-on-Bone Knee Osteoarthritis with SoftWave Therapy in Charleston, SC
Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson’s Non-Surgical Approach to Restoring Function and Reducing Pain
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common causes of chronic joint pain and mobility issues among adults. For many, the condition slowly progresses until daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, standing from a chair, or getting out of a car become difficult, painful, or even impossible. In the most advanced cases, patients are told they have “bone-on-bone” arthritis and are often pushed toward total knee replacement surgery or repeated steroid injections.
At Fix Your Pain Charleston, Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson offers a powerful and non-invasive solution:
SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology—a breakthrough that has helped many of his patients avoid surgery, reduce pain, restore mobility, and get back to the life they love.
What Is Knee Osteoarthritis?
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that results from the breakdown of cartilage, the smooth, rubbery tissue that cushions the ends of bones in the knee joint. As cartilage deteriorates, bones begin to rub against each other, causing pain, inflammation, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
The Stages of Knee Osteoarthritis
-
Stage 1 – Minor: Small wear-and-tear of the cartilage. May not have noticeable symptoms.
-
Stage 2 – Mild: Joint space narrowing begins. Occasional stiffness and discomfort.
-
Stage 3 – Moderate: Erosion of cartilage, inflammation, and increasing pain with activity.
-
Stage 4 – Severe ("Bone-on-Bone"): Most or all of the cartilage is gone. Bones grind against each other, causing constant pain, joint deformity, and loss of function.
Dr. Jeremiah has successfully helped patients at every stage of knee osteoarthritis, including advanced bone-on-bone cases, avoid joint replacement surgery and improve their mobility through his SoftWave therapy protocols.
Common Causes and Risk Factors
-
Aging and natural wear-and-tear
-
Previous knee injuries or surgeries
-
Obesity or excess weight
-
Repetitive stress on the knees (e.g., from work or athletics)
-
Family history of osteoarthritis
-
Muscle imbalances and poor biomechanics
Symptoms of Knee Osteoarthritis
-
Pain when walking, especially on uneven ground
-
Difficulty climbing stairs or getting out of a chair
-
Stiffness in the morning or after sitting
-
Swelling and tenderness around the knee joint
-
Popping or cracking sounds when moving
-
Poor balance and increased fall risk
-
Limited range of motion and flexibility
These symptoms typically worsen over time, especially if the root cause of joint degeneration is not addressed.
How SoftWave Therapy Helps with Knee Osteoarthritis
SoftWave Therapy uses advanced electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves that travel at over 3,000 mph to stimulate a cascade of biological responses at the cellular level. These responses help promote the healing, repair, and regeneration of damaged joint tissues.
Scientific Mechanisms Behind SoftWave Therapy for Knee OA
-
Mechanotransduction: SoftWave activates cellular healing through mechanical stimulation.
-
Toll-Like Receptor Modulation: Reduces chronic inflammation that contributes to cartilage breakdown.
-
VEGF and Neovascularization: Promotes new blood vessel formation to improve nutrient and oxygen delivery.
-
eNOS Activation: Enhances nitric oxide production, improving circulation and joint metabolism.
-
Stem Cell Activation and Migration: Encourages your body’s own stem cells to repair joint tissues.
-
BMP and PCNA Stimulation: Supports regeneration of cartilage, ligaments, and other soft tissues.
This regenerative process leads to less pain, increased range of motion, and improved joint function, even in patients who have been told they are “bone-on-bone.”
