Tired of Missing out on having fun with your Grandkids because of Knee Issues?

One of the most frustrating things in the world is not being able to participate in life's most enjoyable activities because your body isn't cooperating. An

unfortunate fact is that many senior citizens in the world today have to miss out on life because of debilitating knee pain and instability.  

Many Knee Pain sufferers over the age of 50 are quick to blame their condition on advancing age. While age does play a factor, there are usually more factor playing into why their knees are in such bad shape. The good news is that once you understand the usual core causes of knee pain and instability in people around the ages of 50-65, you can actually do something about it with some very simple and inexpensive treatments. Once you understand what is actually causing your knee issues, you can also do a lot to avoid the things that caused it (and finally be rid of the pain that you might have been dealing with for years).  

So... If you are over the age of 50, what are the most likely culprits that have caused knee knee and kept you from experiencing life to the fullest? (keep reading)

What are the Most Likely Causes of Chronic Knee Pain and Instability when You're Over 50?

Knee Pain and Instability can be caused by a lot of different things but, in people between the ages of 50-65, there are some usual culprits that are likely the cause. The most common cause of knee issues in older adults would have to be continued wear and tear. 

This "wear and tear" is known as Osteoarthritis. In the knee, Osteoarthritis most commonly manifest as a breakdown of the cartilage in between the upper and lower leg.

Osteoarthritis in the Knee can be affected by:

  • Your Age The older you get, the more time you've spent walking and using the knee joint. This can play a factor in your knee's overall breakdown.
  • Gender Women over the age of 50 are more likely to develop Osteoarthritis than Men.
  • Trauma Past accidents of the feet, low back, as well as the knee can all play a factor in knee health. 
  • Repetitive Stress Slow Trauma to the knee joints over time can be just as dangerous as a one time trauma. 
  • Weight Being overweight can affect the amount of stress that has been put on the knees over the years. 
  • Other Illnesses Systemic Illnesses like Gout can play a role in the development of Osteoarthritis in the knees.


So if the cause of your knee pain and instability is Osteoarthritis, what can you do to effectively treat the condition, relieve pain, increase the stability of the knees, and potentially reverse the underlying cause?

The Powerful Treatment Protocol We've Been Successfully Using to Help People over the Age of 50 Get Relief from Their Knee Pain and Increase Stability.

Dr. Magellan's Aging Knee Stability Protocol 

Over the last 27 we've focused our office on helping seniors beat knee pain and instability. While some offices focus on being a "catch all" provider, we have been dialing in our procedure for helping patients who suffer from a few specific ailments.  

After working with hundreds of Seniors who have been afflicted with knee pain for years, we've developed a treatment protocol that is specifically tailored to the body of a Senior Citizen. Because of this focus we've developed a gentle and medication free Knee Pain treatment Protocol that has been very successful.

Our Special Treatment Protocol uses a combination of Gentle Knee and Hip Joint Adjustments, Foot Leveling Technology, FDA Approved Cold Laser Therapy, as well as a Focused personal Home Rehabilitation program.

The Careful Combination of these treatments can help you overcome years of wear and tear that you may have put your knees through. Our Senior Knee Pain and Instability Treatment Protocol works well because we push your body only as far as it needs to go at each treatment. We take special care to never overdo it or push your body too fast.  

Most of the knee issues we see took years to develop and we make sure that we give your body the adequate amount of time that it needs to adapt to treatment. Our success rate with this condition is based on the fact that we always allow your body to do what it needs to do. No two patient's knee conditions are alike and we make sure that we treat each condition as such. This is critical in making sure that you heal as quickly as possible, while staying safe.  

PLEASE NOTE: Not all Knee Conditions are treatable with this protocol. We take special care during our exam to make sure that this treatment is right for you. (see below for more)
