Dr. Robert II

My family has a history of “bad knees”. My youngest sister has already had one knee replacement surgery and needs her 2nd knee replaced. I did not want surgery, so I searched for alternatives. Since care started, my knee discomfort has dramatically decreased, and most of the time they feel normal. I’ve always lived a healthy lifestyle and focusing in on my future knee problems has moved the knee to the top of my “take care” list. I would encourage anyone with knee issues to explore alternative treatments before going the traditional route.

I’ve been dealing with arthritis and knee pain for well over a year. I was getting steroid injections, and after a while, they stopped working. I was unable to walk on my own and was wheelchair bound while still working full-time. Although I have a long journey ahead of me, I am not where I used to be! I can’t thank Dr. Milham enough for giving me my life back!

I've injured my right knee three times. The first time in 1979 for an MCL tear I was put into a full length cast from top of ankle to top of thigh. Second time in 2018 I had a partial ACL tear, meniscus and MCL injury. Had arthroscopy surgery done, plus physical therapy and rehab took 10 months to recover. I was able to return to snow skiing 11 months after the injury. Third time in 2024 I twisted my knee on a slippery surface and weakened it. Dr. Bob did an x-ray and observed scar tissue and unevenness of my cartilage. Given my previous experience of knee injury 'solutions' and my goal to return to snow skiing in 6 months I chose the non-evasive solution that Dr. Rob recommended. After eight weeks of treatment I returned to my exercise routine that includes a downhill ski machine and body weight exercises. (vshred.com move program). I've been able to do any previous activities, hiking, biking, for the first time mountain biking at age 70, yard chores including raking, shoveling and even removing tree roots. No problems with my knee after Dr. Bob's treatment. That restricting mobilization is not a solution. In my first injury (1979) the atrophy was worse than the injury. Today they would never use the same method of putting an MCL injury in a cast. Having arthroscopic surgery (2018) did help but the recovery was long. After 1 year I was able to return to snow skiing, achieving my previous activity level. Now with Dr. Bob the importance of staying mobile and active plus his non-evasive treatment has shortened the recovery time. The technology and awareness of new methods has improved greatly and I'm thankful for that! I highly recommend Dr. Bob (and Sara his wife) to treat knee injuries. they have been a pleasure to work with and I've added to the current treatment his functional medicine approach. Dr. Bob is a leader in the non-evasive treatment world, and I appreciate his and Sara's excellent care. Others my age are getting knee replacements, I'm going skiing!
