    Is it possible that you can improve your knee arthritis WITHOUT surgery?
    Most healthcare professionals say “no, the only treatment is replacement surgery.” But there is more evidence than ever that it is possible to naturally heal your knee arthritis, even if you’ve been told your knee joint is bone-on-bone.
    In this video, Dr. David shows you 13 powerful tips you can apply today to start saving your arthritic bone-on-bone knee from having a knee replacement surgery.

    Great video! I am on week 2 of your program. Between your videos and my chiropractor (who agrees with your videos) my knees feel better than they have in quite awhile. I am just now able to do all the reps and have no desire to quit these exercises. I have had too many painful years to quit.. Thank you for all your videos…💕

    3 - stop looking at your X-ray - may not be permanent
    4 - Stick to light easy stretching
    5 - stretch for less time ( 30 - 60 sec hold ) - stretch more often in the day
    6 - Twist foot in and out
    7 - tailgate leg swing
    8 - Massage
    9 - Drink More Water
    10 - take a Joint Supplement / Anti inflammatory = 2 months
    11 & 12 - STOP Quad & Hamstring Muscle Exercises ( front & back leg )
    13 - tone your bum muscles

      how are you now? Last week the ortho told me after looking at my xrays that i need two knees replacement. like you i cried, in the car. i am 5'2 and 107 kg with BMI 46. He said lose weight in 6 months and only then can they do the surgery. He said i have Advanced osteoarthritis and both my knees have started stiffening since i cannot lay them flat on the bed. This was so scary information. I know it's my fault because of my weight but still it's hard to take in. Luckily I found Dr David's web even before my meeting with the ortho so i am trying very hard to convince myself that if i lose weight first i might help my knee without surgery. btw, I hope you're are well now. Please share how you manage yours.

  • @lisalu910
    @lisalu910 9 місяців тому +15

    You are 100% correct about walking. I ran for years, and when knee pain sidelined me, I kept walking for exercise. But it didn't get better, it has steadily gotten WORSE. Now I go to the gym and do other cardio (but NO TREADMILL) and work with a personal trainer, but I have stopped walking for exercise and that is the only way I can control the pain and swelling in my knee. Also, I am intrigued by point #3 where you say that what they show you on an x-ray (in my case, "You have stage 3 arthritis") might not be permanent. That is a game changer, I never knew that! They made it sound like the degeneration was irreversible and would only get worse, but never better.

    You have helped more than the physical therapists I've been to this summer. I felt and heard a pop in my knee, inside, close to the knee cap in mid March. It was during the night and the next day it burned like fire. The inside of my knee became extremely sensitive to touch, so much that I can only sleep on my back with a pillow under my knees. I hurt so bad this summer while on vacation that I walked into an ortho clinic for help. Knee replacement was the number 1 solution but did send me toba physical therapist. He did have me do the dangling exercise which did help. Since ive been back home i went to my Dr who had me see an ortho sur so I saw an ortho surgeon this week and the solution was knee replacement. That night I came across your video about getting rid of inner knee pain! I tried the exercise you gave and the result was amazing! I left the orthopedics office with no hope but you have given hope back for which I'm so grateful! Thank you for caring and sharing. I found you at the right time.

      What about straight leg exercises all 4 planes front back both sides it helped me avoid knee pain and I had JRA from aprox 1958 to 1995 l was born 1953 bone on bone for sooo many years from joint damage but l have no pain at all. 10 years ago they wanted to replace both my knees but all l had was a little tare which I healed myself took a long time but I avoided surgery. I've taken all the supplements for over 50 years and won't stop, too much to loose. l feel great at 69 l walk around 2 to 5 miles daily l do a full body workout for 3 miles 3 to 5 days a week. Make sure you take or eat omega 3 oils, turmeric, glucosamine condroitin MSM all important plus 3k to 5 k vit. D3 and a good quality natural multivitamin not synthetic. Be patient it takes time to reverse pain and damage but it can be done.

I have found meditation to be a great help too,..........walking backwards at every opportunity, Even around the house, relieves pain a lot.......have a look at the. “ Knees Over Toes “ guy on UA-cam......quite amazing....... I really believe surgeons will tell you that you need knee replacement even if you don’t. It’s their job, a nice income too........I’ve not heard of one who says that you can do without surgery. But you can. 🥰🥰🥰

      I had the op. For about 2-3 months it was hard. It has been well and truly worth it since then, about 3 years for me. If you have pain all day every day and have tried diet etc, my advice, get the op.The pain I had for 30 years, gone. It was and still is worth it imo, not even close.

    This is great advice, but my knees were so severe, I finally got both knees replaced last year. Before, I couldn't even go to the grocery store, even do simple household tasks and had chronic bursitis. I regret not getting them replaced sooner. It's great if anyone can get help from exercises or therapy. but I just wish I had my knees replaced years before they got that bad. The surgery and recovery were not that bad. Lots of physical therapy and walking was essential. Good luck to you all doing exercises or therapy. I hope it works for you, but if you need surgery, don't be afraid to get it. JMO

What is your idea of "not that bad" in terms of recovery because wow, a lot of people are saying they were in tears.

    Yes I love your work. I have been taking your advice and adding a few other bits and pieces here and now. The first time I went in to see any specialist they had a CT scan and the specialist said that I have arthritis under the right knee joint. I’m 52 at the moment and he said I’m too old for a knee reconstruction. I’m too old for knee replacement. But he said that he was in bad condition. So six months later after doing those moves and procedures that you have put forward to us. I have seen another specialist twice more and he stated that he wished he had knee joints like myself at my age. He said there is no arthritis no Cartlidge damage nothing wrong in the knees. And that is just in six months of these procedures you have educated if you is on. Can’t thank you enough for getting out there and Educating the public on right form technique dos and don’t’s for good joints. Love your work thank you

    You are a real inspiration doc. When my orthopedic surgeon looked at the xrays of my knee he said " your knees are bad" My reply to him was "dont believe the xray report because it's not as bad as it reads" What I am saying is ONLY you know whether you need a knee replacement. The doctors will say that the only solution is a knee replacement. My problem was going up and down the stairs. So I told him I only need to do an arthroscopy. He did that and removed some small shattered bones and fixed up meniscus. It took me 6 weeks to feel normal again. I wont say that I am climbing upstairs completely fine now. But the pain that was there is not so bad .I suppose because the loose particles were removed. When I went for my check up he said you should still consider a knee replacement 🙈 I am walking around fine but avoiding stairs as much as problem. Only you should decide whether you need a knee replacement or not.

    I'm 66 years old and just got diagnosed with severe arthritis bone on bone very painful. It started gradually since last November and became unbearable in July of this year. Being that it was my first visit at the orthopedic clinic I got a cortisone shot to alleviate the pain. I'm not into medical drugs I believe that it may relieve temporarily but harm another part of the body. I was thinking all day of doing natural home remedies and the right exercise. I then tuned on to UA-cam and saw your videos.Thank you so much. I am going to do these exercises because I don't want to take future cortisone or medication or have a knee replacement. I am a healthy person thank God. I'm not on any health medication and I want to keep it that way😊

    Listening to you I found myself nodding like a horse on a farm! So many of those stretches I have found thru trial and error. The latest one was the gluten tightening, It keeps the knee in place. Then you talk about it all, as if I was supposed to find your channel. My whole rt side of body is weaker, because of a slight, life long scoliosis. Meniscus repair on the rt knee a few years back. Sometimes it still " clicks" but worth the surgery. I do walk about 45 min almost daily, then "twist and turn " on the floor stretching. I am a senior lady and my mother is my example. She did yoga and plates in the 50's and 60's and put her bones back in place with different sizes of small balls that she had ready in a cloth bag! This was before there was chiropractic. She lived to be 99. She always said, that body was made to move. I also deal with S.I joint and doctor is recommending a new series of shots...was it phelotherapy?? I should look up the real nsme as now I am guessing. At my grandma age, still looking for natural methods. My knee only bothers me from overuse, or side to side moves. Thank you for shoving a few more moves to work on...yes, I also ballroom dance, which is a wonderful exercise, but there too, I have to remember my age and this arthritis that pests us humans.Thank you again!

    From a professional position, I totally agree with the decrease in stretching as well I 100% agree with strengthening G-Max muscles. Too many Physical/physio therapists are funnel focused on the Vastus medialis when the reality is: if the hip has medial load due to weakness in external rotators of the hip, you can strengthen the quads to live long day, it's not going to help all that much. Lock clams, kettlebell swings, rack pulls, all great to build the G-max. Keep up the great content

      I have just come across you very interesting and helpful message. I have had knee problems for a few years and everyone says get them replaced but that is the last thing that I am going to do!! I am going to listen to your valuable info and act upon it. I am not in pain all the time, my main problem is getting up and down from my seat and also climbing stairs/hills as my knees seem to be stiff and achy. The physio tells me to strengthen my weak glutes which is the wrong advice. I have been riding my static bike for 10/15 minutes per day which is long enough for my weak legs. Keep up the excellent work. Thank you! 1-15 pm U.K. time.

    I read somewhere that bouncing up and down on a rebounder helps lubricate the joints. It also helps with the lymphatic drainage. Would you recommend using a mini trampoline/rebounder for knee problems? I don't have arthritis of the knee but have had some knee pain from time to time because I'm slightly overweight and know I need to get my weight down. Also I twisted my knee years ago and that may be the reason I'm experiencing some pain there. I do take devils claw and glucosamine as well as collagen protein powder. I also heard that ingesting hyluronic acid helps lubricate joints too.

    Thank you so much for your no nonsense common sense. I am writing from the UK. I first went to the doctor about my knees 15 years ago. I was told it was old age and that was it. No help or advice about delaying symptoms.
    It got worse in both knees and last year was diagnosed with severe knee arthritis.
    I was told to go back when I’m at the stage of going downstairs on my bottom.
    No advice here re glutes but I have listened and obeyed you and the pain has not got worse.
    I am fit, I cycle to a gym and do Spin three days a week. I also do Pilates twice a week. Absolutely NO impact. I have full moment in my leg but cannot sit back on my heels. I carry nothing on my back and use a shopping trolley for loads.
    I walk with sticks but find I can cycle up to 10 miles .
    I am following your exercises in the hope I can delay a replacement.
    I do find my hamstrings are keen on going into cramp and am not sure what to do about that.
    I am 73.

      Had a knee replacement 11 days ago. Maybe I could have worked harder at exercises but most of the activities I really enjoy involve walking and it was simply becoming harder and harder. The operation is pretty brutal and I'm still in a lot of pain but already walking without crutches and ankle to put my full weight on my new knee. I even walked around a supermarket yesterday! Once the bruising and settling have gone, I'm confident that I'll have less pain and more freedom.

However, when possible and we are going into the forest to do some work and there isn't always room in the front of the truck, I always sit in the back and move my legs back and forth while the truck is driving down the road. Feels so good, I didn't know that there was a name to it.
