Reflex takes the lead in providing a comprehensive
treatment option to knee replacement surgery
Portland, OR – It’s one of the most common ailments in our society today – osteoarthritis of
the knee joint. For many, the pain is debilitating, crippling and stops a person from living life
to the fullest. Millions suffer from knee pain, and up till now, there have been few options.
Most deal with it, and the others go through knee replacement surgery which is expensive
and painful. Recently, Dr. Greg Carroll and Dr. Russ Riggs created a new treatment
approach, launched a new clinic specializing in knee pain, and have seen outstanding results
with their patients. Their clinic, called Reflex, is now helping hundreds avoid surgery,
allowing their patients to be pain free, and most importantly, keep their knees. To learn more

A recent study by the Amercian Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
[http://www.aaos.org/news/aaosnow/jan09/clinical1.asp] is showing that there are not enough
surgeons in the U.S. to handle the upcoming onslaught of knee replacement procedures
slated to be conducted in the next 10 years. This epidemic of knee issues and pain is of
serious concern to many in the medical field, and one of the chief reasons that Dr. Riggs and
Dr. Carroll have launched Reflex. “I watched my own mother suffer from chronic
osteoarthritis of her knees, she gained weight, developed health issues, was unable to
function, I knew I had to do something. I researched all the alternatives, treatments,
medications, and found that no clinic offered a holistic approach, it’s why we started Reflex,”
noted Carroll.
Reflex was created to offer a comprehensive treatment approach involving exams, lifestyle
counseling, knee injections, bracing, supplements and physical therapy. The holistic
approach works for most Reflex patients. They are able to function again, begin exercise
programs, and be pain free, sometimes for the first time in many years. “As an ER trained
physician, we rarely see our patients again after emergency treatment, at Reflex, I’m able to
watch my patients gain their health, improve their lives, and be active again with their
families. Additionally, it’s satisfying to be able to offer an approach that works, besides knee
replacement surgery, which is only good for 15 years before modification has to occur again,
usually with increased pain and infection risks.” said Riggs.
