Knee Arthritis: Choosing Between SoftWave TRT and Steroid Injections

Published December 5th, 2023 by ATL Pain Institute

ATL Pain Institute: Leading the Way in Knee Arthritis Treatment

At the ATL Pain Institute in Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. Matthew DiDuro is championing a progressive approach to knee arthritis treatment. Faced with the traditional method of steroid injections and the innovative SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy (TRT), patients are now empowered with choices that can significantly impact their health and quality of life.

Understanding the Crossroads: SoftWave TRT vs. Steroid Injections

Two Paths to Managing Knee Arthritis Pain

Knee arthritis, characterized by joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, typically arises from wear and tear, injury, or aging. While steroid injections have long been a standard treatment, SoftWave TRT presents a novel, non-invasive alternative.

The Traditional Route: Steroid Injections

A Closer Look at Short-Term Relief

Steroid injections for knee arthritis work by reducing inflammation and providing temporary pain relief. However, they come with potential drawbacks:

  • Risk of Joint Damage: Prolonged use can lead to weakening of joint tissues.
  • Temporary Solution: Steroids often offer short-lived relief, necessitating repeated treatments.
  • Potential Systemic Effects: Steroids can impact overall health, particularly with long-term use.

The Innovative Approach: SoftWave TRT

Harnessing the Power of Regenerative Medicine

SoftWave TRT, a cutting-edge technology utilized by the ATL Pain Institute, offers a contrasting approach:

  • Promoting Natural Healing: SoftWave TRT stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms, aiming for long-term tissue repair and pain relief.
  • Non-Invasive and Safe: This therapy is non-invasive and free from the systemic side effects associated with steroid injections.
  • Sustainable and Holistic: SoftWave TRT addresses the underlying causes of knee arthritis, contributing to more sustainable outcomes.

Comparing Outcomes: Efficacy and Safety

Evaluating the Long-Term Impact

While steroid injections can provide quick relief, they may fall short in offering lasting benefits and can pose risks with frequent use. SoftWave TRT, on the other hand, promotes a holistic healing process, potentially leading to more enduring relief and improved joint function without the associated risks of steroids.
