Disconcerting crunching sounds as you walk up hills. Unpredictable swelling that makes it uncomfortable to move. Chronic pains that leave you laid up and reliant on ice packs and pain medications. Knee pain is, without a doubt, one of the most common and painful conditions an adult can go through. It can affect every aspect of your daily life, from picking up the kids from soccer practice to staying on a regular workout routine so you can remain healthy and active.
If you're suffering from knee pain, you're not alone - the American Academy of Family Physicians tells us that almost 25% of all adults in the U.S. suffer from some type of knee pain. In fact, diagnosed knee pain has risen almost 65% over the last couple of decades, adding up to nearly four million visits to primary care doctors annually. That's a lot of chronic knee pain that needs to be addressed.
Unfortunately, many doctors recommend prescription pain pills and invasive surgeries as knee pain treatments instead of non-invasive alternatives. But if you're looking for a way to avoid the need for a knee replacement and pain pills, there's good news to share. QC Kinetix's regenerative medicine in Walterhill, TN, is an all-natural, effective way to help heal prevalent issues like knee arthritis and knee pain without painful surgeries or long recovery times.
Whether you have been fighting through osteoarthritis for years or you've only recently suffered a knee injury, you're probably wondering how regenerative medicine for knee pain works. Regenerative medicine is a revolutionary field of medical science that taps into the body's innate ability to heal and renew itself.
Its main objective is to restore the function and structure of damaged or diseased tissues and organs by either boosting the body's own repair mechanisms or creating new healthy cells to replace the sick ones. For instance, in regenerative ophthalmology, doctors are using retinal progenitor cells to replace damaged retinal cells and combat some causes of blindness.
Regenerative medicine aims to provide a viable alternative to conventional treatments that often involve invasive procedures or long-term medication use. These treatments can cause significant pain and harm to the patient, leading to complications, excessive scarring, and drug dependency. In contrast, regenerative medicine seeks to treat degenerative diseases, injuries, and age-related deterioration by activating the body's natural healing processes and prioritizing the body's inherent capabilities.
Regenerative medicine for knee pain can provide a long list of benefits for men and women who deal with daily pain and discomfort. Some of the symptoms that knee pain can help reduce may include the following:
The benefits of regenerative medicine have been proven through numerous scientific studies and clinical trials. Patients who have undergone regenerative therapies like PRP and stem cell treatment have reported substantial relief from chronic pain, according to a study published in The Journal of Pain Research.
Today, regenerative medicine treatments are being pursued by prestigious institutions like Harvard and the Mayo Clinic. In fact, the National Institute of Health recognizes the field of regenerative medicine as holding great promise for treating and even curing various injuries and diseases.
Regulatory bodies, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, maintain strict oversight of regenerative therapies to ensure they adhere to high safety and efficacy standards. Additionally, professional organizations such as the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB) promote ethical practices and ongoing advancements in the field of regenerative medicine.
The benefits of regenerative therapies for issues like knee pain are both promising and exciting, and can alleviate symptoms without:
The knee joint is made up of bones, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. Bursae, which are small sacs filled with fluid, help cushion the moving parts of the knee and prevent friction. Knee pain can occur due to various reasons like injury, aging, repeated stress, wear and tear on the joint, or inflammation of the bursa. Knee bursitis is a common condition that causes inflammation of the bursae and leads people to seek knee pain treatments.
Sports activities are a common cause of knee injury as they exert tremendous force on the knee joint. Although the knee can usually handle this stress, it can also cause painful injuries. Some athletes may need knee surgery to repair the damage, while others may delay surgery for years until arthritis develops due to the injury and becomes unbearable. The same goes for average men and women whose minor sprains eventually lead to osteoarthritis and other issues. Fortunately for both parties, regenerative medicine in Walterhill, TN represents a more cost-effective, non-surgical solution for knee pain.
Because of the knee joint's complexity, it is susceptible to a wide range of injuries. Some of the most common knee injuries include the following:
Degeneration and inflammation can impact the knees with chronic and debilitating pain, as seen in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Surgery may be used in severe cases, but for many, finding ways to manage the pain is the only option. However, there is hope in regenerative knee pain therapy, which can provide authentic pain relief, enhance mobility, and lead to a more active lifestyle. Contact QC Kinetix today to learn more about our revolutionary regenerative medicines for knee pain.
Severe pain in the knee may result from the patella ( the kneecap), the connecting thigh bone, or one of the shin bones being fractured. Such fractures are usually caused by abrupt, high-energy impacts like falls from high altitudes or car accidents. The usual treatment for these injuries is to physically reset the broken bone. In some cases, plasma-rich growth factors can be used to help speed up the healing process associated with fractures.
Excessive strain on the knee tendons through activities such as running, jumping, or cycling can result in the tendons becoming inflamed (tendonitis). While rest, ice, knee brace compression, and elevation are commonly used to treat tendonitis, there are other non-surgical and proactive options available for knee pain treatment in Walterhill, TN.
When the bones in the knee shift out of place due to a traumatic fall, twisting of the knee, or high-impact collisions, it causes an injury called dislocation. It is essential to put the dislocated knee back into place, and in severe cases, surgery may be necessary.
Injuries to the knee can result in the tearing of the cartilage or meniscus, which serves as a cushioning pad and shock absorber. Although conventional treatment options are restricted to wearing braces or undergoing surgery, regenerative knee pain therapy can be a promising solution for this type of injury.
When the ligaments or tendons in the knee are overstretched or torn, it can result in a knee sprain or strain. This kind of injury is usually caused by sudden twists and can be quite painful. It often results in swelling and makes it difficult to walk. To help alleviate the pain, it's recommended to apply ice, elevate the knee, and rest. Another option for treatment is regenerative knee pain therapy.
Our non-surgical knee pain treatments can resolve your pain and restore your mobility, so it's worth exploring your options with us. During your Request Appointment, we will assess your current condition and needs with the utmost care and consideration. We understand the impact of pain, and we don't want to prolong your discomfort with ineffective treatments.
If we determine that surgery is the best option for you, we will advise you accordingly to avoid any delays in your recovery. However, if we believe that our regenerative knee pain therapy is a good fit for your needs, we will discuss your options with you in detail.
If you're under the impression that a total knee replacement is the only answer to your knee pain problems, think carefully about these potential downfalls first:
When people experience chronic knee pain, they often turn to knee replacement surgery as a solution. However, there are cases where the surgery can actually exacerbate the pain. Research has revealed that a substantial number of patients experience mild pain after the procedure, while others suffer from pain that is either equal to or more intense than their previous chronic knee pain. In some cases, patients have reported that their pain worsens even years after having undergone knee replacement surgery.
Reports suggest that those who are above 60 years old are at a greater risk of experiencing a heart attack after undergoing surgery. But why? The truth is that the stress and trauma that come with knee replacement surgery can be quite intense, which leads to an increased possibility of heart attacks. If you have heart disease, have had a heart attack, have a history of heart disease in your family, or are over the age of 60, it might be time to consider regenerative medicine.
After undergoing knee replacement surgery, there is a risk of wear particles causing harm to your body. These particles are small fragments of plastic, metal, or ceramic that break off from the replaced joint and can cause irritation to the surrounding tissue. In some cases, wear particles can even enter your bloodstream and lead to metal toxicity or the formation of pseudotumors at a genetic level.
Maintaining strong and healthy knees is essential for everyday activities such as walking, running, standing, or even just getting up from a seated position. Unfortunately, knee pain can significantly impact one's quality of life, making it difficult to perform simple tasks like bathing or dressing oneself.
Furthermore, it can prevent people from participating in enjoyable activities like hiking, biking, or gardening. It can even keep them from getting a good night's rest. Although knee surgery is a painful and extensive process, regenerative knee pain therapies can often provide relief without the need for surgery. These non-surgical treatments are accessible to individuals of all ages and backgrounds who are seeking relief from knee pain.
At QC Kinetix, we offer patients several regenerative medicine options to help treat and ultimately eliminate knee pain symptoms. Some of the most popular therapies our patients choose to help with knee pain like osteoarthritis include the following:
You can think of plasma therapy as preparation for the other regenerative treatments we use to treat knee pain. As part of a non-surgical regeneration plan, plasma contains incredible growth healing factors that can help decrease inflammation in your knees and across your body. Once inflammation goes down, your pain is reduced, and you become more receptive to additional forms of regenerative medicine in Walterhill, TN.
Research indicates that A2M has the ability to alleviate knee pain by disabling particular enzymes that have the potential to deteriorate cartilage cells. When the cells in the cartilage of the knee begin to break down, the bones that combine to form the knee joint are subjected to greater friction during movement, leading to the inflammation of tissues and irritation of nerves.
BMAC is a concentration of regenerative cells obtained from the soft, spongy tissue found in the center of bones, called your marrow. Marrow is often found in areas such as the hips or pelvic bone. These specialized cells can replicate themselves into various types of tissues and promote tissue growth, boosting the body's natural healing abilities to speed up the healing process. By allowing your treatment area to heal naturally and more rapidly, you can find relief from knee pain quickly and more effectively.
In order for the body to heal an injury, it requires blood flow to provide the necessary cells and nutrients. Unfortunately, certain areas within the body have limited blood flow, making it more challenging to heal when injured. This is particularly true when it comes to the meniscus and cartilage in your knees, which have poor blood flow. So, how can you enhance the healing potential of tissues with inadequate blood flow? One option is to utilize PRP, which involves injecting concentrated platelets that contain high volumes of growth factors and proteins. This signals and drives the body's natural healing responses. When used as part of a personalized non-surgical regeneration plan by QC Kinetix, PRP therapy is often an MVP in regenerative medicine treatments.
Many of the physicians and regenerative health providers at QC Kinetix have a background in sports medicine, where they worked with professional athletes to mend broken bones and repair torn ligaments and tendons. It can be incredibly fulfilling to help these individuals recover, but unfortunately, many people - not just athletes - are eager to return to their activities before they have fully healed from surgery. This can be problematic because surgery can often cause more harm than good, leading to a long and painful recovery period.
Regenerative medicine for knee pain takes a different approach by tapping into your body's own healing and repair abilities to address knee pain and damage. During your free consultation, we will assess your current condition and needs and recommend the best course of recovery for your unique body. We prioritize effective treatments and minimizing pain, so if surgery is the best option, we will let you know upfront. However, if our regenerative knee pain therapy is a good match for your needs, we will explain your options in detail, so you can get relief as soon as possible.
If you're sick and tired of your knees holding you back on a daily basis, it's time to reduce your pain and reclaim your mobility. Contact QC Kinetix today to take the first step toward reclaiming your life.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WSMV) - The operators of Middle Point Landfill held another open house to answer citizens’ questions as they continue to push to expand the Walter Hill landfill.
The landfill operators showcased how the operation works and address questions and concerns from nearby residents during Wednesday’s open house held on the campus of Middle Tennessee State University.
Many of the complaints about the landfill have been about the odors associated with it.
“It just keeps getting worse,” said Murfreesboro resident Luke Nemeth.
Nemeth comes to the Siegel Soccer Complex for his kids to practice at least three to four times a week. The soccer complex is in the shadows of the landfill.
“I just think the smell of the landfill lowers the quality of life,” said Nemeth. “I smell it further and further away from the landfill as time goes by.”

Mike Classen, the general manager of Middle Point Landfill, said they have invested millions of dollars to get rid of issues like foul odors.
“That’s something over the last two years that we have invested over $15 million in infrastructure to help control those odors on site,” said Classen.
The landfill has about 5-1/2 years of remaining disposable capacity if there is no expansion.
As for the future of the landfill, there’s a few options.
“We can build a transfer station and send all of the trash to some other community who hopefully takes it for an absorbing higher amount of money,” said Classen.
Classen said the other way presents an opportunity to work with leaders in Rutherford County.
“To actually create more of a sustainability campus to bring recycling, to bring composting, start managing household hazardous waste to really transform the way we understand and are educated about the waste that our community generates,” said Classen.
So far, the company’s claims there’s been a 98% reduction in odor complaints. Richard Sowle, who lives nearby, said he rarely smells the landfill.
“It’s good that I’m this close. I don’t have to go that far to the landfill. As far as smells, on a really hot humid day can be really overwhelming, but for the most part it’s actually not that bad,” said Sowle.
The landfill said the goal is to keep the service free for residents of Rutherford County.
Another open house will be held Tuesday, Sept. 26 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Almaville Volunteer Fire Station.

Lawyers for the city of Murfreesboro have filed suit in federal court against the owners of Middle Point Landfill — the latest development in an ongoing dispute pitting one of Middle Tennessee’s fastest growing suburbs against the nation’s No. 2 provider of trash services, Republic Services.
The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Nashville, contains new allegations that Murfreesboro Mayor Shane McFarland called a “game-changer” in a statement released in advance of the legal filing.
Landfill runoff containing life-threatening toxins is pouring into a river near the popular Walter Hill Recreation Area, the 35-page lawsuit claims. And groundwater south of nearby Matthew’s Lake has also been contaminated via the East Stones River bordering the landfill, the lawsuit said.
An analysis has found the discharges contain PFAS, a highly toxic chemical linked to cancer, thyroid disease, ulcerative colitis and other ailments, the lawsuit said.
“According to Republic, they are not polluting the river,” the mayor’s statement said. “The evidence says otherwise. Pollutants at both discharge locations contain a chemical fingerprint that closely matches the leachate from Middle Point.”
The new allegations come after years of resident complaints that crystalized into organized opposition last year to plans that would expand the landfill’s 207-acre footprint by nearly 100 acres. The expansion would have prolonging an estimated 7 years of remaining life at the site by upwards of 25 more years.
The fate of the landfill, which is the main destination for household waste from one-third of all Tennessee counties, could have far reaching implications far beyond Murfreesboro residents since there are few known alternatives for the trash generated by more than a million Tennessee residents.
The Central Solid Waste Planning Board – an oversight body – twice rejected the waste operator’s expansion plans, in part relying on an investigation by the city of Murfreesboro that found high volumes of aluminum dross in addition to the household trash routinely trucked into the site. A byproduct of the aluminum industry, dross mixed with other waste can create a chain reaction that generates heat and toxic, flammable gases that can lead to chemical fires and potentially disastrous environmental consequences.
Middle Point operators said Thursday they were in the process of reviewing the legal filing.
“In the last 18 months, Middle Point has invested more than $6 million in landfill infrastructure enhancements, with additional investments planned or already underway,” a statement from the company read. “The community can be assured that Middle Point remains committed to being a safe and responsible landfill operator and good neighbor.”
According to Republic, they are not polluting the river. The evidence says otherwise.
– Murfreesboro Mayor Shane McFarland, in a statement
The lawsuit, which also names subsidiaries BFI Waste Systems of Tennessee and Republic Services of Tennessee, seeks a series of remedies. They include a court order stopping Republic Services from discharging noxious gases into the surrounding community and discharging toxic runoff from the landfill into the East Fork Stones River. The lawsuit also asks a judge to require Republic Services to conduct regular testing of its discharges at the river and at the city’s drinking water intake points.
It also seeks a declaration that the city may enforce its own local laws to stop the landfill from discharging leachate, or landfill runoff, into the city’s sewer system. The longstanding contract between the city and landfill requires the city to take in liquid waste from the landfill in exchange for free trash pick up from Murfreesboro residents, but the composition of the waste has proven damaging to sewer operations.
McFarland noted the city is also taking other steps beyond the lawsuit: the city plans to deliver written notices to Republic Services, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency detailing alleged violations of the federal Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act. If discharges, gas and odor issues are not resolved within 60 days, the city will file additional claims against Republic Services, he said.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (Feb. 2, 2023) – Officials dedicated two additional miles of paved pedestrian trails along the North Murfreesboro Greenway Jan. 31, bringing the total to five miles of greenway space constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District for public recreation in the community.
The celebration highlighted the extension from the Walter Hill trailhead, and improvements to the popular 18-mile Twin Forks Equestrian Trail.
Kent Syler, political science professor at Middle Tennessee State University and chairman of Special Projects as a member of the Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation Commission, thanked former Congressman Bart Gordon and Murfreesboro Mayor Shane McFarland for their leadership and work to establish the greenway system. He also credited former Sen. Lamar Alexander and the Corps of Engineers for the latest greenway achievement that will benefit Middle Tennessee.
“I had a chance to get out here and walk this greenway on Saturday. It was nice. And I’ll tell you what – everybody is going to love it,” Syler said. “It has some great distance, and appropriately it doesn’t have an end. It has a loop.”
Syler said the greater vision for the greenway is to eventually connect it with the greenway in Smyrna, then LaVergne, and eventually join the system in Nashville.
“Every one of these ribbon cuttings gets us a little closer,” Syler said.
The city of Murfreesboro and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District signed an agreement in July 2014 to design and construct improvements to the trail system and support facilities on the upper J. Percy Priest Lake along the East Fork of the Stones River. Dedication of phase one of the project took place Dec. 14, 2016, and featured three miles of new trails, combined equestrian and multi-use parking facility at Coleman Farm, and new connection to the Twin Forks Equestrian Trail.
Kovilic Construction located in Franklin Park, Illinois, constructed phase two of the greenway improvements. The work began in November 2021 and finished in late December 2022.
Lt. Col. Joseph Sahl, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District commander, thanked Murfreesboro officials, community partners, stakeholders, and Corps employees for the vision and teamwork that brought the greenway extension to fruition. He also touched on the importance of projects that make the best use of green spaces.
“I want to ensure that the Corps is an effective partner as we do these types of (environmental) projects that responsibly provide services to the people of this great community,” Sahl said.
The second phase of the project received $2.2 million in fiscal year 2020 to extend the hiking trail and grade and level sections of the equestrian trail. Fences were also added as a safety feature between sections where pedestrians and equestrians would pass in close proximity.
Ramune Matuliauskaite, Nashville District project manager, said the project went smoothly without any issues or modifications.
“The biggest challenge involved addressing ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) requirements along one steep section of the greenway,” Matuliauskaite said.
Murfreesboro signed a 99-year lease with the Corps of Engineers for use of public land and is responsible for operations and maintenance of the completed greenway.
Following the ceremony those in attendance were able to walk along the trail to the overlooks to enjoy the scenery on the new stretch of greenway.
Margie Jared of Murfreesboro said she is excited about the newest stretch of greenway because she really enjoys walking the trails with her husband Bob.
Laney Ware of Murfreesboro added that she is thankful for the improvements to the horse trail because it is the only equestrian trail that she is aware of that is available to ride on in Rutherford County. She brought her horse “Professor” to the dedication, and they participated in the ribbon cutting ceremony.

Historic Riverside, located at 1218 W. Jefferson Pike in Murfreesboro, and its contents are up for sale starting at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 27.
In addition to the house and property, there will be primitive antiques, furniture, mirrors on the auction block.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the 188-year-old Riverside was established in 1830 and home to generations of the Randolph family.
Beverly Randolph moved to Rutherford County in 1816 and settled at Walter Hill in 1818. He and his wife, Lucy (Searcy) Randolph inherited her family's farm.
The Randolphs' son, the second Beverly Randolph, enlisted in the 45th Tennessee Infantry at the beginning of the Civil War.
After the younger Randolph returned home, he and his wife, Elizabeth (Wade) Randolph purchased nearly 600 acres. In 1871 they built the frame I-house with two-story Greek Revival portico that still stands today.
Before the days of rural postal delivery, the younger Beverly Randolph was known for bringing mail to Riverside, where it was delivered to the community at the northern end of Rutherford County from there.
John Beverly Randolph and his wife, Alice Fletcher, inherited the house and prosperous farm. In later years, Sarah Randolph, granddaughter of the founder, and her husband Claude Jones managed the farm and an antique business.
Eventually some of the property was subdivided, but the white house on the hill remains a commanding presence on the curve where it sits on Jefferson Pike.
Riverside was added to the National Register of Historic Places on Dec. 12, 2006. The home is on approximately seven acres just across the road from the Stones River. The house is 3,720 square feet, according to tax records, and had an addition completed in 2010, according to the Bob Parks Auction website.
In recent years, the home was inherited by Beverly Jones, a descendant of the Randolphs.
