Knee Specific Decompression Therapy
Knee Specific Decompression in Santa Rosa, CA
Targeted Relief for Stubborn Knee Pain at Santa Rosa Chiropractic
Is knee pain slowing you down? Arthritis, injury, or natural wear and tear may cause knees to ache and stiffen or swell; such knees can restrict walking and stair-climbing to all activities one adores. In Santa Rosa Chiropractic, Dr. Dave offers Knee-Specific Decompression Therapy, a choice of treatment that is gentle and noninvasive that works by decreasing joint pressure for improved healing and regained motion-without the use of surgery.
Knee decompression is a modern technique utilizing specialized apparatus to administer gentle traction and mobilization to the knee.
Here’s how it works:
- The client takes a comfortable position on a treatment chair designed for the patient.
- Safety harnesses are gently secured around the leg, one above and one below the knee.
- With computer-controlled tension, the joint spaces are released slowly and safely.
- Which allows for:
o Less pressure on cartilage and nerves
o More nutrients to injured tissues
o Enables healing according to natural processes without injections or drug intervention
Most patients describe it as a gentle stretch, often with a sense of relief as the pressure in the joint releases.

Dr. Dave’s Whole Body Approach
Many clinics simply “shine the light and hope.” At Santa Rosa Chiropractic, cold laser therapy is but a segment in a broader healing protocol:
- Precise Assessment – Dr. Dave observes posture, joint movement, muscle tone, and nerve function to reach a diagnosis of the true source of pain.
- Customized Protocols – Laser settings such as wavelength, power, pulse, and duration are custom-tailored to suit tissue depth, age of the injury, and pain tolerance.
- Chiropractic Adjustments – Gentle adjustments of the spine and extremities help restore alignment so tissues heal in the right position.
- Rehab & Mobility – Laser-given gains are locked in by targeted stretches and strengthening exercises to reduce the risk of re-injury.
- Lifestyle Coaching – Tips concerning ergonomics, nutrition, and stress relief facilitate healing from all fronts.
The synergistic outcome: the laser facilitates cellular repair; the chiropractic restores the structure; rehab strengthens; and you heal faster..

Dr. Dave’s Integrated Healing Approach
Knee decompression shines staying within a total recovery program. Santa Rosa Chiropractic blends:
1. Exact Diagnosis
Before embarking on treatment plans, every patient undergoes a full gait, posture, musculoskeletal, and joint alignment assessment.
2. Custom Decompression Settings
Dr. Dave adjusts the machine to cater for your body size, injury type, and comfort level.
3. Rescue Chiropractic Adjustments
Malalignments in the spine, hip, and ankle may cause delayed healing in the knee. Gentle corrections restore symmetry to relieve stress on the knee.
4. Laser & PEMF (if deemed necessary)
A cold laser or pulsed electromagnetic field therapy may be incorporated with the goal of enhancing tissue repair while minimizing inflammations.
5. Rehabilitation & Stability Training
After decompression, we walk you through specific motions to strengthen the surrounding muscles and safeguard against re-injury.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, it is a targeted type of decompression for the knee using specialized equipment to treat only the knee joint, not the spine or legs.
Three to six visits are usually enough for acute injuries. However, chronic, general arthritic conditions could take 8 to 12.
Maybe, but it depends on your policy, and we will verify your benefits for you. Affordable self-pay options exist as well.
Possibly yes, but we need to check your entire history to ensure it will be safe, and so that surgical sites will not be stressed.
Many patients report disfranchised pain and better mobility secondary to decreased joint pressure, yet cartilage regeneration is not possible.
What Does It Feel Like?
Gentle. Controlled. Relaxing.
Each session lasts about 10–15 minutes, with many patients experiencing less pressure, easier bending, or reduced pain right away. There’s no cracking, no twisting, and no discomfort—just a slow, rhythmic stretch that relieves built-up tension inside the joint.
