Bone-on-Bone Knee Osteoarthritis Relief with SoftWave Therapy at DeBole Chiropractic in Farmington, NY

If you’ve been told you have bone-on-bone knee osteoarthritis and your only option is a total knee replacement, we have good news: you may have another path.

At DeBole Chiropractic in Farmington, NY, Dr. Mike DeBole and his team are helping patients at every stage of knee osteoarthritis—including advanced, bone-on-bone cases—find lasting relief through SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy (TRT).

This cutting-edge, non-surgical, drug-free technology is helping patients cancel knee replacement surgeries, avoid repeated steroid injections, and get back to walking, moving, and living with confidence.

What Is Knee Osteoarthritis?

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that causes the protective cartilage in the knee to break down over time. This cartilage acts as a cushion between the bones of the knee joint. As it deteriorates, bones can begin to rub against each other—commonly referred to as “bone-on-bone” arthritis.

Stages of Knee Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis progresses in four key stages, each with increasing severity:

Stage 1 – Minor (Early OA)

  • Minimal wear-and-tear on the cartilage

  • Little to no pain or stiffness

Stage 2 – Mild

  • Noticeable cartilage wear

  • Mild pain, especially after activity

  • Early signs of joint space narrowing

Stage 3 – Moderate

  • Erosion of cartilage and narrowing joint space

  • Increased inflammation

  • More frequent pain and stiffness, especially during movement

Stage 4 – Severe (Bone-on-Bone)

  • Cartilage is almost or completely worn away

  • Bones grind directly against each other

  • Severe pain, swelling, and limited mobility

Even in advanced Stage 4 bone-on-bone cases, SoftWave Therapy can provide regeneration, repair, and lasting relief without surgery.

Causes of Knee Osteoarthritis

  • Aging and natural wear-and-tear

  • Previous injuries or surgeries

  • Obesity or excess body weight

  • Genetic predisposition

  • Chronic inflammation and poor joint health

  • Repetitive stress from work or activity

Common Symptoms of Knee Osteoarthritis

  • Pain while walking, climbing stairs, or standing

  • Difficulty getting out of a chair or car

  • Knee stiffness, especially in the morning

  • Popping or grinding sensations in the joint

  • Swelling or inflammation

  • Decreased mobility and loss of balance

These symptoms often progress gradually, and for many people, they become life-altering over time.

How SoftWave Therapy Helps Knee Osteoarthritis

A Science-Backed, Non-Invasive Solution

SoftWave Therapy is an FDA-cleared technology that uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves to stimulate deep healing in joint tissues. These waves travel at over 3,000 mph to reach damaged cartilage, ligaments, and surrounding tissues—without surgery, injections, or downtime.

Key Biological Responses Triggered by SoftWave

  • VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor): Stimulates new blood vessel formation to oxygenate and nourish the joint

  • eNOS (Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase): Improves circulation and vascular healing

  • Neoangiogenesis: Develops new microcirculation pathways in the knee

  • PCNA (Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen): Encourages cellular repair and regeneration

  • Toll-Like Receptors: Modulate immune and inflammation response

  • Stem Cell Activation and Migration: Attracts the body’s own healing cells to the damaged area

  • Senescent Cell Clearance: Removes aging, damaged cells to make way for tissue regeneration

SoftWave helps reduce inflammation, pain, stiffness, and promotes true joint healing—even in bone-on-bone cases.

Real Success with Advanced Knee Osteoarthritis at DeBole Chiropractic

At DeBole Chiropractic, Dr. Mike DeBole and his team have helped numerous patients with all stages of knee OA, including those diagnosed with:

  • Bone-on-bone degeneration

  • Failed steroid injection protocols

Many of these patients have been able to:

  • Cancel or delay total knee replacement surgeries

  • Avoid repeated cortisone injections

SoftWave offers a conservative, regenerative solution when other treatments have failed—or before more invasive steps are taken.
