Knee Pain—New Answers for Old Pains
Knees are something that most of us pay little attention to, until they hurt. If you think about it, there’s not much you can do in life that doesn’t involve your knees – sitting, standing, walking, bending, all rely on your knees. Whether your knee pain is due to a recent injury or years of wear and tear, InMotion Pain Solutions’ drug-free, non-invasive therapies promote healing to get your back to doing the things that you enjoy without relying on potentially dangerous medications, or invasive and costly surgery.

Not everyone with knee pain is destined for surgery. In fact, arthroscopic knee surgeries are no longer recommended for some conditions. And while knee replacement surgery is very common, it is not inevitable.
Our new approach to treating knee pain has helped many people in Eastern Iowa avoid knee replacement surgery – even those who were told that they were “bone on bone”.
The key is to address pain early, before the damage is too great. InMotion Pain Solutions’ FDA-cleared, drug-free, non-invasive treatments, including high intensity laser therapy, work to relieve pain and restore motion.
