For Margaret Williams, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Ohio, climbing stairs had become an excruciating daily challenge. Simple activities like gardening or playing with her grandchildren seemed like distant memories as chronic knee pain increasingly dominated her life.
"I tried everything," Margaret recalls, sitting comfortably in her garden, a place she couldn't enjoy just six months ago. "Pain medications, physical therapy, expensive braces—nothing provided lasting relief. My doctor started talking about knee replacement surgery, but at my age, I was terrified of the recovery process."
Margaret's story is far from unique. According to the CDC, over 32.5 million American adults report doctor-diagnosed arthritis, with knee osteoarthritis being among the most common forms. The condition affects not just physical health but often leads to decreased quality of life, depression, and social isolation.
The Turning Point
For Margaret, everything changed when her son, a physical therapist, told her about a new approach to knee pain management that was gaining attention in medical circles.
"He mentioned that several of his patients were experiencing remarkable results with a home decompression therapy system," Margaret explains. "Initially, I was skeptical. After trying so many 'solutions' that failed, you become wary of getting your hopes up."
"What makes decompression therapy effective is its ability to create space within the joint, reducing pressure on damaged cartilage and allowing for improved circulation," explains Dr. Robert Chen, orthopedic specialist at Cleveland Medical Center. "This approach addresses the root cause rather than just masking symptoms."
The therapy Dr. Chen refers to works through an advanced knee brace system that stabilizes the kneecap, provides optimal support, and improves joint alignment. The integrated gel pad and flexible side stabilizers work together to reduce pressure on the knee joint while allowing natural movement.
A New Approach to an Age-Old Problem

The science behind knee stabilization and support isn't new—medical professionals have used similar techniques for decades. What's revolutionary is how the Neurogena KneeSystem® combines an integrated gel pad, flexible side stabilizers, and an adjustable lacing system in one comfortable, breathable design.
This FDA-registered device uses specialized technology to provide customizable compression and stabilization, effectively reducing knee pain and supporting injured joints while promoting proper alignment during physical activities.
"When my son showed me the research behind the Neurogena system, I was intrigued," Margaret continues. "The clinical studies were impressive, and the fact that it was non-invasive meant there was little risk in trying it."
The Science Behind the Solution
A 2023 study published in the Journal of Orthopedic Research followed 157 patients using home decompression therapy for knee osteoarthritis. After 12 weeks, 78% reported significant pain reduction, and 65% showed improved mobility compared to control groups.

Dr. Michael Stevenson, orthopedic specialist and co-developer of the Neurogena Knee System.
Dr. Michael Stevenson, a leading orthopedic specialist with over 25 years of experience treating knee conditions, was frustrated by the limited options available to his patients.
"I was seeing patients who weren't candidates for surgery but weren't getting adequate relief from traditional treatments," explains Dr. Stevenson. "I knew there had to be a better solution."
This led Dr. Stevenson to collaborate with biomedical engineers to develop what would eventually become the Neurogena Knee System—a device specifically designed to bring clinical-grade decompression therapy into patients' homes.
Dr. Jennifer Patel, who specializes in non-surgical orthopedic treatments, explains: "What makes this approach different is that it addresses multiple aspects of knee pain simultaneously. It reduces pressure on the joint, improves circulation to promote healing, and provides stability without restricting natural movement."
How the KneeSystem® Works:
-
Integrated GEL pad: Stabilizes the kneecap, reduces pressure, and improves joint alignment for better support and comfort
-
Flexible side stabilizers: Provide additional support, improve knee stability, and allow natural, comfortable movement
-
Adjustable lacing system: Ensures a personalized, secure fit for optimal support and comfort throughout movement
-
Breathable fabric: Keeps the skin cool, dry, and comfortable during use, even during extended wear
Margaret's Journey to Recovery
After researching her options, Margaret decided to try the Neurogena Knee System. "The 60-day money-back guarantee made it a low-risk decision," she notes. "If it didn't work, I could simply return it."
Margaret's experience began with wearing the device for 30 minutes daily while reading or watching television. "It was surprisingly comfortable," she recalls. "There was no pain during use, just a gentle sensation of pressure being relieved."

The Neurogena Knee System can be used comfortably at home while reading or watching TV.
Within two weeks, Margaret noticed she could climb stairs with less discomfort. By the one-month mark, she had resumed light gardening. Now, six months later, she regularly plays with her grandchildren and has even returned to her community walking group.
"The change has been remarkable," she says. "It wasn't overnight—it was gradual improvement. But now I can honestly say my quality of life has been transformed."
Not Just Margaret's Story
Margaret's experience is echoed by thousands of others who have found relief through home decompression therapy. A recent consumer satisfaction survey of over 1,200 Neurogena Knee System users found that 87% reported significant pain reduction, and 79% noted improved mobility within the first month of use.
"After my knee injury last year, I thought I'd never run again. Three months with the Neurogena system, and I'm back to 5K runs three times weekly."
"As a nurse, I'm on my feet all day. The pain was affecting my work. This device has been a game-changer for my career and my ability to care for patients."
Is This Approach Right for Everyone?
While the results are promising, medical professionals emphasize that home decompression therapy isn't a universal solution. Dr. Patel advises: "Patients should always consult with their healthcare provider before starting any new treatment approach, especially those with recent injuries, post-surgical conditions, or severe structural issues in the knee."
However, for many people with chronic knee pain, especially those with osteoarthritis or general wear and tear, the approach offers a non-invasive alternative worth considering.
"What's particularly valuable about this approach is that it can be used alongside other treatments," Dr. Chen adds. "It's not an either/or situation. Many patients continue with their prescribed exercises or medications while adding decompression therapy to their routine."
After seeing the limitations of traditional knee braces, Dr. Stevenson partnered with Neurogena to develop the KneeSystem® — an advanced knee brace that combines medical-grade support with comfort and adjustability. His goal was to make professional-grade knee support available to everyone suffering from knee pain.
"The most rewarding part has been hearing stories like Margaret's," says Dr. Stevenson. "People who had given up hope are now getting back to the activities they love. That's why we've worked to make this technology affordable and accessible to anyone who needs it."
The Bottom Line
For Margaret Williams and thousands like her, home decompression therapy has provided a path to reclaiming active, pain-reduced lives without surgery or ongoing medication dependence.
"I just wish I'd known about this sooner," Margaret reflects. "Those years of limiting my activities, missing out on time with my grandchildren—I can't get those back. But I'm grateful that I can move forward with less pain and more freedom."
As the population ages and knee problems continue to affect millions, non-invasive home treatments like the Neurogena Knee System represent an important development in pain management and mobility enhancement—offering hope to those who, like Margaret, thought their active days might be behind them.
