It’s a well-known fact: Knee pain in this country has reached epidemic proportions. So has the number of unnecessary knee replacement surgeries. That’s why two well-known doctors in the Lake Nona community have come together to form an innovative medical clinic dedicated 100% to non-surgical treatments. Located in Lake Nona Village Place, the clinic is called ViscoGen®.
The ViscoGen® Clinic offers a wide range of non-surgical treatments for all joints. The signature protocol, however, is a proprietary knee pain treatment called KneeVisc 5®. A comprehensive program that brings together elements of several of the most successful non-surgical techniques developed in recent years, KneeVisc 5® is both FDA approved and covered by Medicare and most major insurances.
A Perfect Partnership
The two doctors – Dr. Dan Arnold, M.D. and Dr. Gerry Mattia, D.C. – are already very well established in the Orlando area. A renowned expert in sports injuries and rehabilitation, Dr. Mattia has worked with literally hundreds of the top golfers and professional athletes in the Orlando region and around the world to keep them at the top of their game. “I have dedicated my whole career to helping patients avoid unnecessary surgeries and to be able to enjoy the life they want to live without pain,” says Dr. Mattia. “ViscoGen® brings together all I’ve learned and developed over the last 30 years and takes it to the next level.”
Dr. Arnold, on the other hand, comes from a long and distinguished career in surgery. However, several years ago he made the decision to walk away from surgery and focus exclusively on developing innovative, non-surgical alternatives. Dr. Arnold states, “Over the past 10 years, stem cells, PRP, and other non-surgical treatments have made tremendous advances. The science for non-surgical treatments is now here. If I can heal and relieve pain without the complications of surgery, it’s always a better outcome for the patient.”
“Our careers complement each other perfectly to create a practice like ViscoGen®,” adds Dr. Mattia. “Our approach has helped thousands of patients avoid surgery and get back to an active and pain-free lifestyle. As a doctor, it’s immensely gratifying.”
Introducing KneeVisc 5®
Developed exclusively by the ViscoGen® team, the KneeVisc 5® protocol takes the latest FDA approved injection-based treatment and incorporates it into a fully comprehensive, five-step plan for maximum results. Using the latest image guidance technology, the injections work to reduce pain and inflammation and re-lubricate the joint for better mobility. The ViscoGen® team then incorporates a series of complementary treatments to realign and strengthen the joint and correct the initial cause of the pain. The goal is to provide not just temporary pain relief, but true long-term relief.
What makes the procedure additionally attractive to many patients is there is no downtime. Each treatment takes less than an hour. You walk out the door and can drive yourself home. Also, because of the protocol’s success, it is now covered by Medicare and most major insurances.
“It’s a wonderful feeling to help a patient suffering with osteoarthritis or some other form of knee pain, avoid surgery, and get back to enjoying life,” says Dr. Arnold. “That’s why we offer our patients a totally free, no-risk consultation. We want to remove all obstacles and make KneeVisc 5® available to as many people as possible.”
