Before the Knife: A Regenerative Approach to Chronic Pain, Arthritis, and Injury

Summary

Before the Knife is the definitive guide to using evidence-based regenerative medicine—PRP, stem cells, prolotherapy, exosomes, laser, and shockwave—to repair damaged joints before surgery is considered.

Fifty-eight million Americans live with diagnosed arthritis. Millions more endure chronic shoulder pain, degenerative disc conditions, torn tendons, and worn cartilage. The conventional medical system has a standard answer for all of them: rest, pharmaceuticals, cortisone shots—and, when those fail, surgery. In the United States, over one million knee replacements are performed annually. Patients accept these interventions because they believe they have no choice. They do. They simply haven’t been told.

Before the Knife fills that information gap. Written by Dr. Adam Brockman—a pioneering regenerative orthopedic physician, national physician educator, and public health communicator—this book is the first comprehensive, accessible guide to non-surgical joint and tissue repair for both the general patient audience and the growing community of practitioners adopting regenerative protocols.
