How One Joint Replacement Could Lead to Another — Unless You Do This First

You Replaced One Joint… But Now the Other One Hurts

Maybe you had a knee or hip replaced—and it helped. The pain eased, the joint stabilized, and you got back to moving again. But something feels different now. The other side—the joint you’ve been relying on to “carry the load”—is starting to ache, feel unstable, or simply not perform like it used to.

This isn’t your imagination. Joint replacements change how your body moves. When one part is replaced, it alters force distribution, proprioception, and muscular balance—especially if ligaments, capsules, or sensory structures were removed during surgery. Your body is an intricate system of motion. When one link changes, others must adapt.

And sometimes, that adaptation comes at a cost.



Don't Let a Second Surgery Sneak Up On You

The good news? It may not be too late.

If your other joints are painful, unstable, or just beginning to show signs of trouble, regenerative orthobiologics offer a compelling option to interrupt the surgical spiral.

At Pain Experts, we specialize in:

  • Precision PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and bone marrow-based injections that stimulate repair in joints, ligaments, and tendons.

  • Ortho Shockwave therapy to activate your body’s repair processes without surgery or downtime.

  • Customized protocols that take into account your whole-body biomechanics, not just the painful joint.

In short, you don’t need to wait until things get worse. You can choose a higher-level solution now—one that’s science-backed, personally tailored, and designed to preserve your mobility.


Protect the Joints You Still Have

You’ve done the hard thing once. You’ve gone through surgery and recovery. You know what’s involved.

Now is your chance to do things differently.

Let’s assess your situation and see if your remaining joints can still respond to regenerative treatments—before surgery becomes your only option. Our consults are data-driven, respectful of your time, and built around outcomes that matter to you.


Schedule a consultation today at Pain Experts in Dallas or Plano, and take the next step toward long-term mobility—without the knife.
