Patient Reviews
Nov 25, 2025
I had knee replacement did not go well, after a year of Dotoring and many months or PT he said there was no more he could do. Went to Essentia seen a knee surgeon, he did three different X rays found bottom plate a little out of alignment and why the joint is loose and causing pain for over a year now. Replacement surgery is big and painful, so he is going to tr radio frequency the nerves in hopes of them not sending signals to the brain. the clicking and snaping will continue because the joint is loose and not inline so knee cap snaps into place. I hope this works on 24/ Dec. I told him many times how painful it is and with my foot turned out a bit from the misalignment, but he said surgical intervention would not be a choice so Essential can help. Sorry but this is what happened to me.
