CBS Interview on Joint Pain Relief

Dr. Kanaan's interview with My Carolina 17 on CBS: Using Your Own Cells for Orthopedic Pain Relief

Dr. Kanaan and Carolina Nonsurgical Orthopedics

Dr. Kanaan has been serving the Raleigh, NC, area since 2013, and is dedicated to providing innovative and effective nonsurgical treatments to his patients. Dr. Kanaan spoke in an interview with My Carolina 17 on CBS about the work he and the staff of Carolina Nonsurgical Orthopedics are doing to help patients get back to the activities they enjoy most, without surgery. The full segment is posted below.

Nonsurgical Alternatives for Joint Pain Relief

At Carolina Nonsurgical Orthopedics, we think creatively and explore patients' options to find effective nonsurgical methods for pain relief. Fortunately, there are numerous alternatives to invasive surgical procedures that can provide significant relief from pain and improve function.

Dr. Kanaan uses the centrifuge to spin down blood to be used for Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy.

Orthobiologics and Regenerative Therapies are promising alternatives to surgery. These treatments utilize natural substances derived from the body, such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), rather than relying on traditional steroids, which may have undesirable effects when used for long periods of time.

Regenerative Therapies have shown efficacy in treating conditions such as tendonitis and various injuries that have not responded adequately to rest and physical therapy alone.

Numerous research studies highlight the benefits of utilizing one's own biological materials, such as blood, for healing purposes. These studies consistently demonstrate that treatments like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy, MFAT (Micro-Fragmented Adipose Tissue) Therapy, and Shockwave Therapy, which harness the body’s natural healing capabilities, can lead to substantial improvements in joint pain and overall mobility. Unlike conventional steroid treatments, which may provide temporary relief but do not promote healing, these regenerative therapies work by stimulating the body’s own repair mechanisms.

Advantages of Innovative Nonsurgical Treatments

Patients receiving nonsurgical treatments such as PRP, MFAT, and Shockwave therapies experience minimal downtime, which is a significant advantage over surgical options that typically involve longer recovery periods and managing cuts and stitches. As a result, patients can return to their normal activities much sooner, allowing them to engage in the sports and hobbies they love without the burden of persistent joint pain.

Professional athletes have utilized these therapies for years to maintain peak performance levels, but you don't have to be an elite athlete to receive relief from joint pain. At Carolina Nonsurgical Orthopedics, we use the same technologies for regular individuals to reclaim their active lifestyles, so whether you want to play a round of golf, enjoy a game of tennis, or simply take a leisurely walk without joint pain, our nonsurgical options can allow you to live your life fully and with greater comfort, free from the limitations imposed by joint pain.
