Non-injection treatments for arthritis in knee

Posted by detc @detc, May 11 4:12pm

I am looking for suggestions for treatments for arthritis knee pain that do not involve cortisone shots or gel shots (hyaluronic acid). Can anyone suggest a safe, effective hyaluronic supplement or topical cream instead? Are there any other completely non-invasive options?
I have an issue with a heightened immune system that can become overstimulated and cause neuropathy problems. Thank you for any possible solutions.

I had the gel done in both knees. My insurance did not cover it, but the company gives a great discount. I paid $300 for 3 shots per knee. It was worth it.

I want to get HLA shots in each knee tomorrow. When you say 3 shots per knee, were the shots a week apart? Or....? Has the successful result remained?

I can relate to what you are going through. I’m a former collegiate wrestler and long-time martial artist—my knees have been through a lot over the years. I now work in the wellness field and have found a combination of strategies that helps me manage pain, maintain joint function, and slow deterioration—without injections or medications.

Here is what has helped me personally:

Collagen Peptides (Types 1, 2, and 3) – support the structure of cartilage, ligaments, and connective tissue.

Vitamin C (I use Ester-C) – essential for collagen synthesis and joint repair.

Baxyl (liquid hyaluronic acid supplement) – a patented, vegan formula designed for joint comfort and mobility; I’ve had the best results with this specific brand.

PEMF therapy – supports joint healing by improving circulation and reducing inflammation, and may also help with immune system balance and even peripheral nerve discomfort.

Targeted stretching and prudent resistance training – keeps the surrounding muscles strong, supporting the joint without aggravating it.

Each of these works from a different angle—structural support, inflammation control, mobility, and function. I’ve also seen others benefit from this kind of multi-faceted, non-invasive approach.

If it would be helpful, I’m happy to share more privately about what I have seen work. Wishing you comfort and solutions that fit your unique needs.
