MEDICINE’S TRY AT KNEE DISTRACTION WITH A DEVICE

Medical care for most complaints including knee pain is usually medication and surgery.

Overall knee pain patients reported pain drops from 7.7 to 1.8 (1 [no pain] – 10 [worst pain]) in a mean of 5.3 treatments over 3 weeks. More precisely, acute knee pain patients had pain drops from 8.1 to 1.1 in 4.8 treatments in 2.4 weeks. And chronic knee pain patients reported pain drops from 7.5 to 2.2 in 5.4 treatments in 3.3 weeks.
