Apos Device Reduces Chronic Knee Pain

Studies have shown that approximately 25% of adults suffer from chronic knee pain, which is an increase of almost 20% since the turn of the century. It’s an alarming statistic highlighting an upward trend of how this common medical complaint will only become more common in the future.
Still, many people may not realize the impact that chronic knee pain can have on their quality of life. Living with severe knee pain can interfere with basic daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, and even sitting. That’s not to mention the potential psychological consequences that people can suffer from not being able to do the activities that they once could before they began to experience their chronic pain.
Unfortunately, many of the treatments available to those who suffer from chronic knee pain are invasive and/or carry a high risk for complications. Many patients seek to avoid knee surgery because it’s costly, can be painful, and requires a long period of recovery. Meanwhile, other solutions like prescription pain relievers could have unintended consequences, like forming an addiction. Thankfully, there are solutions that people can turn to that can help treat their pain without any of these challenges.
Apos, for example, is a foot-worn medical device designed to reduce pain and improve mobility by targeting the root cause of discomfort. This “lifestyle medicine” approach to treating chronic knee pain empowers patients to take control of their health while continuing to work and enjoy life’s activities. Apos is not a new solution to the scene, either; it is FDA-approved and has been used by thousands of patients to allow them to live their lives more comfortably and freely, unburdened by the restrictions of chronic knee pain.
A clinically proven treatment for knee pain
Clinical research backs up Apos’s effectiveness, finding that patients reported as much as 70% average reduction in pain. Furthermore, 98% of patients would recommend Apos as a treatment for chronic knee pain. When combined with the fact that many insurance plans cover Apos, it’s clear that this is a genuine solution to chronic knee pain with the potential to change lives for the better.
Apos stands out as a treatment for knee pain because it treats the cause of the patient’s pain rather than just masking the symptoms. “Unlike treatments that only mask the symptoms, Apos focuses on retraining your muscles and realigning your body’s natural movement patterns,” explains Ben Feldman, Apos’s Chief Marketing Officer. “By redistributing the forces that go through your knees, Apos helps alleviate pain and improves function over time.”
Indeed, Apos works by targeting one of the leading causes of knee pain: gait, or the way you walk. The pods on the bottom of the device create microinstability, which increases proprioception and re-educates neuromuscular pathways. Meanwhile, the custom positioning of the pods achieves biomechanical redistribution, redirecting forces away from unhealthy joint compartments and correcting their gait. These forces relieve pain in the short term and retrain how patients walk, providing relief even when they aren’t wearing the device.
However, perhaps the most defining characteristic of Apos is its convenience. Patients only need to wear the device for an hour a day while they go about their daily routine, and then they can proceed with the rest of their day as usual.
“Treatment isn’t confined to a clinic or hospital,” explains Feldman. “Instead, patients wear the device during their daily activities — whether at home or work, without any change to daily routine or need for complicated apps or special equipment. This makes it easy to fit therapy into your routine, helping you stay consistent without disrupting your life.”
How Apos can help you live a life with less knee pain
If you don’t believe the difference that Apos could make in your life, restoring your ability to live life with less pain, just look at the testimonials on Apos’s website. Furthermore, another independent study published in volume 15 of “Therapeutic Advances in Musculoskeletal Disease” found that as many as 89% of patients were able to delay or even avoid knee surgery, saving them invaluable time, effort, and money.
If you are suffering from chronic knee pain and looking for a solution that doesn’t require the typical downtime and potential complications of surgery or the potential risks of prescription painkillers, Apos may be precisely what you are looking for. By using the device for just an hour a day, you could be on your way to living a life with less of the pain that prevents you from living your daily life. Find out today if you are a good candidate for Apos.
