Tired of being told your knee pain is “just arthritis”?

You deserve more than vague diagnoses and short-term fixes. Whether you’re waking up stiff, walking with a limp, or sitting out the golf round again—knee arthritis is a real problem, and we’re here to treat it like one.

At Ortho Las Vegas, we blend advanced orthopedic diagnostics with proven orthobiologic therapies like PRP and bone marrow concentrate—all guided by a board-certified orthopedic surgeon, not a clinic guessing from a protocol.

What Is Knee Arthritis?

Knee arthritis is a degenerative joint condition where cartilage in the knee wears down, leading to bone-on-bone friction, inflammation, and pain. The most common type is osteoarthritis, often related to age, wear-and-tear, or past injuries.

Symptoms of Knee Arthritis:

  • Pain during movement or at rest

  • Swelling, stiffness, or heat around the joint

  • Grinding or popping sounds

  • Decreased range of motion

  • Difficulty standing, walking, or climbing stairs

How We Treat Knee Arthritis Differently at Ortho Las Vegas

Most clinics treat knee arthritis by throwing pain meds and cortisone shots at it until replacement surgery becomes the “only option.” We do it differently.

We treat you like someone who wants to stay active—not someone who needs to be put on hold.

Step 1: Accurate Diagnosis

  • Detailed orthopedic evaluation with Dr. Roddy McGee

  • Imaging review (X-ray, MRI) to assess cartilage loss and joint integrity

  • Functional movement analysis—not just “how bad it looks,” but how your knee actually performs

Step 2: Personalized Treatment Plan

Depending on the severity of your arthritis, we may recommend:

Orthobiologic Therapy

  • PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) to reduce inflammation and improve joint function

  • Bone Marrow Concentrate (BMC) to support joint preservation in moderate to severe arthritis

  • Advanced bracing and offloading to slow progression and reduce day-to-day strain

Surgical Options (When Needed)

  • Minimally invasive arthroscopy to clean up mechanical debris

  • Partial or total knee replacement, if you’ve exhausted joint-preserving options

  • Biologic augmentation to enhance surgical healing and reduce downtime

Am I a Candidate?

You might be a strong candidate for non-surgical knee arthritis treatment if:

  • You’ve been diagnosed with mild to moderate osteoarthritis

  • You’ve tried cortisone, PT, or oral anti-inflammatories with little long-term relief

  • You’re not ready for a knee replacement—or want to make one a last resort

  • You’re looking for medically sound regenerative options that actually make sense

  • You want to keep golfing, traveling, and staying active without major disruption

FAQs About Knee Arthritis at Ortho Las Vegas

Is knee arthritis reversible?

No—but it can be managed and slowed. Our goal is to improve function, reduce pain, and help you avoid (or delay) surgery.

PRP is cleared for orthopedic use. Bone marrow concentrate is autologous (from your own body) and used in compliance with FDA guidance. We follow all regulatory best practices and never overstate claims.

Consults and imaging usually are. Regenerative therapies like PRP/BMC may be cash-pay. We’ll walk you through all costs transparently.

Many of our patients come to us after failed or partial relief elsewhere. We’ll evaluate your history and still may be able to help.
