Your World Is Getting Smaller. There Is Still Time to Get It Back.
Still searching for an answer. Running out of options. Ready to try one last thing. This visit was built for where you are. No obligation. No pressure. Real Answers.
It happened without you noticing.
The round you cut short after nine holes. The weekend project that keeps getting pushed back. Getting up from your desk and taking a second before you move because you do not want anyone to see those first few steps. The grandkids on the floor and the chair you stayed in instead. At first they seem like small adjustments. Reasonable ones. Until one day you realize just how many of them you have made and how long ago you stopped counting. The adjustments came so gradually they started to feel normal. That is the most dangerous part. Not the pain. The acceptance of it. And if you have been through the injections, the therapy, the specialist visits, you have probably heard some version of the same thing. Manage it. Give it more time. Come back when it is bad enough. That is not an answer. That is a waiting room with no door. What nobody tells you is that waiting is not neutral. The damage does not pause while you decide what to do. But that does not mean you are out of options. It means the right next step matters more than ever.
In a national survey of knee pain patients, 100% had already tried treatment. 97% were still suffering. That is not a coincidence. It is a gap in what most treatments are actually designed to do.
Here is exactly
what to expect
No surprises. No pressure. Just a real conversation about your knee and an honest answer about what comes next.
Dr. King listens first
He will ask about your knee, what you have already tried, and what your knee is actually keeping you from doing. Not a quick intake form. A real conversation. Most people say this alone is different from anything they have experienced before.
He looks at how your knee is actually working
Dr. King evaluates how your knee moves, how it bears weight, and what may be contributing to the problem. Not just where it hurts. Why it is not getting better.
You see inside the joint together
When appropriate, Dr. King uses real time ultrasound imaging to look at what is happening inside and around your knee. You can see it with him while he explains what he is looking at in plain language. Most people have never had anyone actually show them what is going on in there.
You get a straight answer
Dr. King will tell you honestly whether you are a candidate for the Non Surgical Knee Restoration Program and what he recommends for your specific situation. If he does not believe the program is right for you, he will tell you that too.
If you qualify, your plan of action begins the same day. You do not leave with a brochure and a follow up appointment scheduled for three weeks out. If Dr. King determines you are a candidate, your care starts before you walk out the door.
A different kind of
doctor visit starts with
someone who listens
Dr. King has been a trusted physician in Trussville long enough to know that the people who walk through his door are not looking for another option to try and walk away from. They are looking for someone who will actually listen, figure out what is going on, and be honest about what can be done about it.
He does not start with a treatment. He starts with you. What hurts. What has changed. What your knee is keeping you from doing. And what you have already tried so he is not sending you back down a road that has not worked.
If he believes you are a candidate he will tell you exactly what he recommends and why. If he does not, he will tell you that too. Either way you leave with more clarity than you came in with.

A real clinical visit designed to give you a real answer. Not a sales pitch. Not a quick handoff. Dedicated time with Dr. King to figure out what your knee actually needs.One on one time with Dr. King — not a staff member or assistant
A full evaluation of your knee — how it moves, how it loads, what may be contributing to the problem
Real time ultrasound imaging when appropriate — so you can see what is happening inside the joint with Dr. King explaining it in plain language
A review of your history — including what you have already tried and why it may not have been enough
A straight answer — whether you are a candidate for the Non Surgical Knee Restoration Program and exactly what Dr. King recommends for your specific situation
If you qualify, your plan begins the same day — you do not leave with a brochure and a follow up appointment three weeks out
Who this visit
is built for
You have been dealing with knee pain long enough that it has quietly changed how you live
You have tried things before and have not gotten the improvement or the answers you were looking for
You have been told to manage it, wait it out, or come back when it gets worse
You are not ready to accept that this is just how it is now
The time Dr. King sets aside for each assessment is real. He does not overbook. He does not rush. That means spots are limited each month and he is selective about who fills them.
If you are in the very early stages of knee pain and have not yet tried any treatment, this is probably not the right starting point. And if you are primarily looking for what insurance will cover, we are likely not the right fit. We would rather tell you that here.
But if any of this felt uncomfortably familiar, you are likely exactly who we built this for.
Before you reserve
Am I committing to treatment when I request an assessment?
No. The assessment is designed to determine what may be appropriate for your specific situation. Dr. King will give you his honest recommendation at the end of your visit. You are under no obligation to begin a treatment program and nothing moves forward without your full understanding and agreement.
What if I have already tried injections or physical therapy?
That is actually helpful information for Dr. King. Many people who come in have already been through the standard treatment path without getting the improvement they hoped for. Let him know what you have tried so he can take that history into account when evaluating your knee.
What if I have been told surgery may be in my future?
You can still request an assessment. Dr. King will evaluate your individual situation and determine whether he believes nonsurgical options may be appropriate for you. Some people will be candidates. Some will not. The first step is simply finding out where you stand.
Will insurance cover this?
The assessment and the Non Surgical Knee Restoration Program are cash pay. We work specifically with patients who are looking for solutions outside what the standard insurance system provides, because for people in your position those solutions do not exist inside it. If cost is a consideration, we encourage you to ask. There may be options available and we would rather have that conversation with you than have it be the reason you do not come in.
Do I need to bring anything?
If you have any imaging such as X rays or MRI results, bring them. If not, do not worry. The ultrasound scan at your visit gives Dr. King real time information to work from and he can make additional imaging recommendations if needed.
What if Dr. King does not think I am a candidate?
He will tell you directly. We do not recommend treatment that is not appropriate for what we find. If you are not a candidate you will leave knowing that and knowing why, with a clearer picture of your situation than you had before you came in.
