You Have Done Everything They

Told You. Your Knee Is Still Getting Worse

The standard treatment ladder was never designed to heal your knee. It was designed to manage it.

You tried the cortisone shots. The first one worked for four months, the second for three, and the third barely took the edge off. You did the physical therapy. You wear the brace, take Advil every morning, and your surgeon told you that you would need a replacement eventually. Eventually keeps creeping closer while the stairs get worse, the car gets worse, and the things you used to do without thinking get worse with them.

What no surgeon explained is that there is a hallway between the management door and the surgery door, and the patients who find it have a very different outcome than the patients who do not. This webinar walks you through the regenerative protocol Dr. DeMers uses, the three-part candidacy review, and what separates a real treatment from the strip-mall version.

In 45 Minutes,

Dr. DeMers Will Cover:

Why Your Knee Is Not Getting Better
The structural reason cortisone works less every time, why physical therapy plateaus, and what is actually happening inside the joint between shots.
The Third Option Most Surgeons Never Mention
What autologous regenerative medicine actually is, the difference between bone marrow concentrate and platelet-rich plasma, and how each works biologically on a damaged knee.
How to Tell a Real Protocol From the Strip-Mall Version
The three things that separate a surgeon-led protocol from the clinic down the road, and why the word on the door does not determine the outcome.
Who Is Actually a Candidate
The three-part candidacy review used at Joint Vitality Institute at Clearwater, including why "bone-on-bone" is rarely the disqualifier patients are told it is.
Your Next Step After the Webinar
How the Knee Restoration Candidacy Call works, what Dr. DeMers' team reviews before you speak, and what happens if you are confirmed as a candidate.

What Dr. DeMers' Patients Say

After Working With Her

The 76-Year-Old Who Got His Active Life Back

Years ago, I could no longer play racquetball nor do morning walks, as both were painful and I had to completely stop. Now after my treatment with Dr. DeMers, I can walk, hike, jog, rock climb, did a 5k event and back to playing racquetball three times a week with players much younger than myself. My age should you ask, 76.

The Skeptic Who Became a Believer

I tried PRP with Dr. DeMers, I was a skeptic. Four months later my left hip with many associated issues felt much better and stronger. I can sleep through the night without the nagging pain I had for 8 years that many other doctors couldn't help me with. Going back this year for additional body parts, I am a believer.

The Cyclist Who Got Back on the Bike

I literally was dreading getting out of bed in the morning, between sore knee joints and a sore back. Within weeks after my double-knee PRP, I was back on the bike again, pain free. In the months since, I have biked more than 500 miles, including many climbs. A year ago, I never would have believed I was doing this again.

Is This Webinar Built

for You?

This IS For You If:

  • You have been told you will eventually need a knee replacement and you are not ready to schedule it.

  • Your cortisone shots, gel injections, or PRP attempts have worked less each time, or stopped working entirely.

  • You have already tried physical therapy, NSAIDs, bracing, weight loss, and rest without lasting relief.

  • You have researched regenerative medicine on your own and want a surgeon to explain what actually works.

  • You live in the Tampa, Clearwater, or St. Petersburg area and want answers from someone who is physically here.

This is NOT for you if:

  • You are looking for a fast, cheap fix and want the lowest-priced shot you can find online.

  • Your knee pain is acute, sports-related, and recent, and you have not yet seen an orthopedist.

  • You want this covered by insurance and are not open to a cash-pay candidacy review.

If you are still reading, this webinar was built for you.

frequently asked questions

Is this a sales pitch?

No. This is a 45-minute educational webinar followed by 15 minutes of live Q&A. Dr. DeMers teaches the same mechanism she teaches other physicians. If your knee is a candidate, you will know the next step. If it is not, you will know that too.

Why would this be different from what I already tried?

Because Dr. DeMers is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who also performs autologous regenerative procedures, she can compare every option you have considered with the same honesty. Most physicians can only speak to one side of the ladder.

What is the Knee Restoration Candidacy Call?

It is the next step for webinar attendees who want to know if their specific knee is a candidate. Dr. DeMers' team reviews your imaging before the call, and you receive a personalized assessment with a clear recommendation.

What does the next step cost?

The candidacy call is complimentary for webinar attendees. Treatment cost is reviewed individually after imaging review, since pricing depends entirely on what your knee actually needs. Joint Vitality Institute at Clearwater is a cash-pay practice.

Is my information private?

Yes. Your registration information is used to send you the webinar link, reminders, and replay. It is never sold or shared. All clinical communications follow standard medical privacy standards.

Will the session be recorded?

Yes. Every registrant receives the replay link by email after the live session ends, even if you cannot attend live. The replay is available for a limited window.

You Do Not Have to Wait Until Your Knee Forces the Decision

June 24th, 2026, 7 PM EDT. Hosted by Dr. Ariana DeMers, DO. Live on Zoom.

Cortisone, Advil, and bracing were never designed to heal your knee. This briefing walks you through the autologous regenerative protocol, the candidacy review that determines whether your knee is a fit, and what makes a real surgeon-led treatment different from the version sold in a strip mall.

Education first. No pressure to book anything.
