What to Expect at Your First Visit
- 01
The complimentary evaluation
About an hour. We examine the knee, look at it on ultrasound, review your imaging and check the contraindication list.
- 02
The first session
The leg is positioned and low tension is applied to establish your settings. Most people describe a steady pull at the knee with clear release.
- 03
The series
Sessions repeat over several weeks at the frequency in your plan, with settings adjusted as the knee responds.
- 04
The mid-course review
We re-measure range and loading tolerance. If they have not changed, we discuss what to do instead.
- 05
Afterwards
You get a maintenance plan, which for most knees means strengthening work rather than more sessions.
Knee joint decompression applies the same mechanical principle used on the spine to a single knee. The leg is positioned and the joint surfaces are gently separated in a repeating cycle while you lie still.
It sits with the other non-surgical knee options in the Leesburg pain control services, and it is chosen where compression and stiffness, rather than instability or a mechanical block, are the main findings.
What is Knee Joint Decompression?
Knee joint decompression is non-surgical traction applied to one knee. The leg is held in a cradle and a set tension separates the joint surfaces in cycles for 20 to 45 minutes. It is delivered as a short course after an evaluation of the joint.
How it works
The knee is examined and positioned
We look at range, alignment and where it hurts, then set the angle and tension for your knee rather than to a default.
Traction is applied and released in cycles
A measured pull separates the joint surfaces briefly, then releases. The cycling matters, because a constant pull makes the leg muscles guard against it.
The settings change across the course
Angle, tension and time are adjusted between visits based on how the knee responded to the last one.
Who knee joint decompression helps
- Knee pain that is worse after standing or walking and eases on sitting
- Osteoarthritic knees with stiffness but a joint surface still present
- People wanting a non-surgical option before considering replacement
- Patients who can attend a series over several weeks
- Knees that respond well to being unweighted
Who it does not help
- A knee that locks or gives way, which needs a mechanical assessment
- Recent fracture, hardware or a recent knee operation
- Active infection in or around the joint
- Severe osteoporosis
- Deep vein thrombosis, past or suspected, in that leg

Schedule an AppointmentThe joint is assessed before it is loaded
A knee that locks or gives way needs a different assessment. Ultrasound and examination come before any traction is applied.
Nothing is injected
This is a mechanical treatment. There is no needle, no anesthetic and nothing to recover from afterwards.
It pairs with the other knee options
Where decompression alone is not enough, orthobiologic treatment and device therapy are in the same building and in the same plan.
Session length is stated honestly
Sessions run 20 to 45 minutes depending on settings. That is the figure to budget for each visit.
Knee Joint Decompression Compared with the Other Options
How the common options compare, including the ones we do not offer.
| Option | What it involves | Typical course | Invasiveness / downtime | Who it tends to suit | Offered at Revive? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knee joint decompression | Controlled traction separating the joint surfaces | A series over several weeks | Non-invasive, no downtime | Stiff, painful knees that ease when unweighted | Yes |
| Orthobiologic injection | A preparation from your own blood placed under ultrasound | One placement, then review | Needle procedure, sore days | Wear with a joint surface still present | Yes |
| A2M therapy | A protein concentrated from your own plasma | One placement, then review | Needle procedure, sore days | Cartilage wear as the dominant finding | Yes |
| Hyaluronic acid injection | A viscous gel injected into the knee | One injection or a short series | Needle procedure, minimal downtime | Knee osteoarthritis specifically | No |
| Bracing and offloading | A brace or insert that shifts load off one compartment | Worn during activity | Non-invasive | Clear single-compartment overload | No |
| Knee replacement surgery | The worn joint surfaces are replaced | One operation plus months of rehabilitation | Invasive, significant recovery | Advanced arthritis with severe daily limitation | No |
Knee replacement is a well-established operation with a strong record for advanced arthritis. If your knee is worn through, it is the option with the best evidence and we will tell you so.
Non-surgical work sits earlier in that timeline, where a knee is painful and limiting but has surface left.
Is Knee Joint Decompression Right for You?
Who this tends to suit, and who it does not.
Likely a good fit if
- Knee pain of several months that eases when you sit down
- Imaging shows wear rather than a joint worn through
- The knee does not lock or give way
- You want to try a non-surgical route before a surgical opinion
- You can attend a short series of appointments
Generally not appropriate when
- Your knee locks, catches or gives way
- You have had a recent knee operation or have hardware in the joint
- There is an active infection in or around the knee
- You have severe osteoporosis
- You have had a deep vein thrombosis in that leg
A knee that locks is a mechanical problem and it is a referral, not a course of traction. We check for that first.
If this is not the right fit, we will say so at the consultation and point you toward the care that is.
What determines the cost of knee decompression
- Whether one knee or both are being treated
- How many sessions the individualized plan includes
- Whether ultrasound assessment is used at the start
- Whether it runs alongside orthobiologic or device treatment
- Whether a mid-course change in approach is needed
Insurance and elective care
Revive by MWS does not participate in insurance panels, and non-surgical decompression is commonly treated as elective. We make no claim about what your carrier covers.
If you want to ask, describe it to your carrier as non-surgical knee traction and quote the written plan we give you.
How you get a real number
The complimentary consultation is where you get a real figure, based on your knee and the number of sessions your evaluation supports.
Book the evaluation and bring any knee imaging you already have.
We do not publish pricing. Cost depends on the plan built for you, and it is explained in full before anything is scheduled.
Why Choose Revive by MWS
for Knee Joint Decompression?
The distinction that matters here is between a knee that hurts and a knee that catches. The first may respond to being unloaded. The second needs a different assessment entirely.
The other knee options live alongside this one in the Leesburg pain control services.
Care at Revive by MWS is provided by licensed clinicians.
What separates a knee that hurts from a knee that catches
A painful, stiff knee that eases when you sit down behaves differently from a knee that locks mid-step or gives way on a curb. The first is a loading problem. The second usually is not.
Traction is reasonable for the first and wrong for the second. That is why the examination comes before any table time.
How arthritis of the knee is usually staged
The AAOS guide to arthritis of the knee sets out the usual progression and the point at which surgical options enter the conversation.
Reading it before your evaluation is useful, because it makes the difference between wear and a joint worn through concrete rather than abstract.
Where this fits in a knee plan
Decompression is rarely the only thing in a knee plan. Most plans pair it with strengthening work, and some add orthobiologic treatment or A2M where the evaluation supports it.
The plan states which parts run together and when the re-check happens, before anything begins.

Knee Joint Decompression: Frequently Asked Questions
Whether one knee or both are treated, the number of sessions in your plan, whether ultrasound assessment is used, and whether it runs alongside other treatment. Cost is explained in person before you commit.
It should not. Most people describe a steady pull at the knee with a clear release. Tension is set at your tolerance and adjusted during the session.
Unlikely. Where imaging shows the joint surfaces are gone, traction has little to work with, and an orthopedic opinion is the more sensible referral. We will say that at the evaluation.
That is set in your individualized plan after the knee has been examined rather than quoted in advance. The course carries a mid-course review that is allowed to end it.
Nobody can promise that, and results vary by individual. What it can do is give a painful knee with surface left a non-surgical option to try first.
