Non-surgical knee pain and arthritis treatment in Cheyenne, WY

Who we help
Knee problems we treat
Knee arthritis
Wear and tear that causes aching, stiffness, swelling, and grinding, including knees described as "bone on bone."
Chronic knee pain
Pain that has hung on for months or years and keeps limiting what you do.
Pain after meniscus or ACL surgery
The surgery is done, but the knee still hurts, swells, or doesn't feel strong.
Pain after a knee replacement
You did what you were supposed to do and still have pain. Many of our therapies can be used after a replacement.
Why it still hurts
Why knee pain often lasts, even after surgery
Your knee is more than bone and cartilage. The muscles around it act like shock absorbers and keep the joint moving in line. After an injury, years of arthritis, or surgery, those muscles often stop firing the way they should.
When that happens, the joint takes more stress, the tissue stays irritated, and pain keeps coming back, even when an X-ray or a surgery says the structure is fixed.
Our approach works on all of it: taking pressure off the joint, supporting the tissue, and retraining the muscles around the knee.

Keep progressing at home
Your knee doesn't stop needing help when you leave the office. Our at-home knee neurostimulator is a wearable wrap that stimulates the muscles around your knee so they start firing the way they should.
You can wear it while you walk around the house, do chores, or go about your day. More work for your muscles, without more time on the table.
After a knee replacement
Did everything right and still hurting?
Many people come to us frustrated. They had the surgery, did the rehab, and still have pain, stiffness, or swelling. You are not imagining it, and you are not out of options.
Several of our therapies can be used after a knee replacement, meniscus repair, or ACL surgery. Your evaluation tells us which ones fit your knee.

Knee questions
Frequently asked questions about knee pain treatment in Cheyenne
Where can I get non-surgical knee pain treatment in Cheyenne, WY?
Althoff Wellness Clinic offers non-surgical care for knee arthritis and chronic knee pain at 4024 Laramie St., Cheyenne, WY 82001, just off College Drive. Care includes Knee on Trac decompression, SoftWave, and Trigenics neuromuscular re-education. New patients start with a $47 Initial Knee Evaluation. Call (307) 369-1786.
I was told I'm "bone on bone." Can you still help?
Many people with advanced knee arthritis still have room to improve how their knee moves and feels. Your evaluation shows us your range of motion and how the muscles around your knee are working, so we can tell you honestly whether our care is a good fit.
Can you help if I already had a knee replacement?
Often, yes. Several of our therapies can be used after a knee replacement. Many patients come to us because they did everything they were supposed to and still have pain. We will look at your knee and tell you which options fit.
My knee still hurts after meniscus or ACL surgery. Why?
Surgery repairs the structure, but the muscles around the knee often stop firing correctly after an injury or operation. That can leave the joint under extra stress. Trigenics neuromuscular re-education and our wearable at-home knee neurostimulator help retrain those muscles.
What is Knee on Trac?
Knee on Trac is a decompression device for the knee. It gently creates space in the joint while you sit comfortably, which can help take pressure off sore tissue.
What is Trigenics?
Trigenics is a neuromuscular re-education method. It helps retrain the nerves and muscles around a joint so they work together the way they should. Dr. A has post-graduate training in Trigenics for the knee and shoulder.
What is included in the $47 Initial Knee Evaluation?
A consultation, range of motion testing (flexion, extension, and internal and external rotation), and functional movement tests such as toe walks, heel walks, and a squat test.
Does insurance cover knee treatment?
Yes, we accept insurance. Some services are covered and some are not, depending on your diagnosis and your plan. We will go over your options after your evaluation, before you start care.
