Why Steroid Injections for Knee Pain Are Prolonging the Problem and Not Actually Helping or Healing – Here’s What to Do Instead!

Knee pain can be frustrating, limiting, and life-changing. Whether caused by arthritis, a meniscus tear, or chronic inflammation, many patients are often offered steroid injections as a “solution.” While injections may provide temporary pain relief, the truth is that they do not actually heal the underlying problem—and in many cases, they may even prolong the issue.

At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness here in Rochester, NY, we take a different approach. We use SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy, a breakthrough technology that promotes real healing and long-term relief.

Why Steroid Injections Fall Short

Steroid injections (cortisone shots) are designed to reduce inflammation in the joint. While this may temporarily dull pain, it doesn’t address the root cause of your knee pain. Instead, injections:

• Only provide short-term relief that often wears off in weeks or months.

• Can weaken tendons, ligaments, and joint tissues over time, making the problem worse.

• Fail to repair damage to cartilage, meniscus, or surrounding structures.

• Do nothing to stimulate long-term tissue repair, regeneration, or improved mobility.

In fact, studies have shown that repeated cortisone injections may accelerate cartilage breakdown, potentially leading patients toward surgery sooner.

What Makes SoftWave Therapy Different

Unlike injections that simply mask pain, SoftWave Therapy uses broad-focused electrohydraulic acoustic waves that penetrate deep into the knee joint to activate your body’s own healing mechanisms.

The Science Behind SoftWave Therapy

SoftWave triggers biological processes at the cellular level, including:

• Increased blood flow & circulation to damaged tissues.

• Activation of endogenous stem cells to aid in tissue and joint repair.

• Reduction in inflammation at the source of pain.

• Stimulation of growth factors to strengthen cartilage, tendons, and ligaments and surrounding soft tissues.

• Long-lasting pain relief by addressing the root cause, not just covering up symptoms.

This is why SoftWave Therapy is trusted by professional and college sports teams, top medical institutions, and regenerative medicine clinics across the country.

Common Knee Conditions Helped by SoftWave Therapy

SoftWave is effective for a wide range of knee issues, including:

• Knee arthritis (including “bone on bone” arthritis)
