Bone-on-Bone Knee Osteoarthritis Relief with SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy in Winston-Salem at Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic

Discover a Non-Surgical, Drug-Free Solution Backed by Science

If you've been told you have bone-on-bone knee osteoarthritis, you may think that total knee replacement or repeated steroid injections are your only options. But what if there was a way to reduce pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life—naturally?

At Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic in Winston-Salem, NC, Dr. John Stoetzel and his team offer a powerful, non-invasive solution for all stages of knee osteoarthritis—including the most advanced, bone-on-bone cases—using SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT).

SoftWave Therapy is helping patients cancel surgeries, reduce reliance on injections and medications, and return to the activities they love—without downtime or invasive procedures.

Understanding Knee Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint condition that causes the cartilage in your knees to wear down over time. This leads to bone-on-bone contact, joint pain, stiffness, inflammation, and loss of function.

Stages of Knee Osteoarthritis:

  1. Stage 1 – Minor: Small cartilage damage, minimal discomfort

  2. Stage 2 – Mild: Noticeable wear, joint stiffness, occasional pain

  3. Stage 3 – Moderate: Cartilage erosion, inflammation, increased pain and stiffness

  4. Stage 4 – Severe (Bone-on-Bone): Little to no cartilage remaining, constant pain, joint deformity, loss of mobility

Common Causes of Knee Osteoarthritis

  • Age-related joint degeneration

  • Prior injury or trauma to the knee

  • Obesity or excessive weight-bearing stress

  • Poor joint mechanics or posture

  • Repetitive use from work, sports, or daily habits

  • Genetic predisposition

Symptoms of Knee Osteoarthritis

  • Pain while walking or standing for long periods

  • Difficulty going up and down stairs

  • Trouble getting out of a chair or car

  • Swelling, stiffness, or grinding sensations

  • Limited range of motion and decreased flexibility

  • Impaired balance or instability, especially on uneven surfaces

  • Disrupted sleep due to knee pain or aching

If these symptoms sound familiar, you’re not alone—and SoftWave Therapy may be your next step to freedom from pain.

How SoftWave Therapy Helps Bone-on-Bone Knee Pain

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to penetrate deep into the knee joint, stimulating powerful biological healing processes. These sound waves travel over 3,000 mph, reaching tissues traditional treatments can’t touch.

The Science Behind SoftWave for Knee Osteoarthritis:

  • VEGF & eNOS Activation – Increases angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and restore tissue oxygenation

  • Stem Cell Activation & Migration – Signals your resident stem cells to migrate to the knee joint to begin cartilage and tissue repair

  • PCNA & BMP Expression – Promotes cell proliferation and collagen regeneration to restore the integrity of joint tissues

  • Modulation of Inflammation – Regulates immune responses and reduces chronic joint inflammation

  • Toll-Like Receptor Balancing – Helps minimize pain signaling and reduce sensitivity in arthritic joints

  • Flushing of Senescent Cells – Eliminates aged or dysfunctional cells that slow healing

Even in bone-on-bone conditions, SoftWave does not regenerate cartilage overnight, but it does create a healthier joint environment—one that reduces pain, improves mobility, and slows further degeneration.

Real Results: Avoid Surgery and Injections

At Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic, patients with mild to severe knee osteoarthritis—including advanced bone-on-bone stages—are experiencing:

  • Reduced pain and stiffness

  • Improved ability to walk, climb stairs, and move freely

  • Less dependency on anti-inflammatories and over-the-counter pain meds

  • Cancelled total knee replacement surgeries

  • Freedom from repeat steroid injections

  • A better quality of life with more confidence and independence

Dr. John Stoetzel and his team have seen outstanding success using SoftWave protocols to help patients regain control of their joint health without invasive procedures or extended downtime.

What to Expect with SoftWave Therapy

SoftWave is performed right in our office, with no need for anesthesia, needles, or recovery time. Most patients receive a series of treatments over 6–8 weeks, and many begin feeling results after just a few sessions.

The healing continues for weeks and months after your last visit as the activated stem cells and biological repair processes continue their work.

Take the First Step Toward Relief—Without Surgery
