description Chronic knee pain is one of the most common complaints in primary care offices. Osteopathic family physicians Leonid Tafler and Samira Ovshaev have worked tirelessly for over 10 years to develop a revolutionary and unique technique for treating chronic knee pain. This technique is easy to learn and can be performed at any outpatient practice. This unique technique involves knee traction, which can be performed under anesthesia with one or two consecutive days of treatment, or it can be performed with the assistance of a supportive device in more than two therapy sessions without anesthesia. This new technique has the potential to become a first-line noninvasive technique for chronic knee pain that can go a long way in reducing the burden of debilitating knee pain for patients and their loved ones. This case report aims to describe a few cases of chronic knee pain successfully treated in the office-based surgical center by osteopathic physicians using this innovative technique. Throughout the last 10 years, patients have reported remarkable improvement in their knee pain following treatment with this technique, which has, in turn, significantly increased their quality of life.
