What Causes Torn Meniscus?
Surrounding your kneecap and shin bone is a rubbery cartilage called the meniscus, which acts as both a stabilizer and shock absorber to the knee. The torn meniscus is when the knee is forcefully twisted like from a sports injury. While, thankfully, not a dislocation of the knee, it does occur when pressure is applied to the knee (like shifting your body weight to that side) coupled with a vigorous twist.
Symptoms
Your knee is essentially a hinge joint, so when that joint becomes locked, it is a telltale sign that something is wrong. Other symptoms of a torn meniscus can include swelling, pain in a specific area (or multiple areas) throughout the knee joint, abnormal popping and sudden difficulty walking or moving the knee as you normally would.
Get a non-invasive treatment
For the different types of elbow pain, you have about the same number of options for a treatment, but not all of them will actually work. For instance, surgery was shown to be as ineffective as placebo while steroids and physical therapy were not much better. As an alternative, stem cell and platelet therapies target the problem areas the most accurately and are able to fully regenerate your damaged cells without invasive surgery.
Stem Cell Therapy Explained
As is the case with a number of injuries, stem cell injections are one of the most universally praised treatments for a torn meniscus. Not every tear is able to heal on its own, and not every tear can be surgically repaired, so a procedure that repairs the meniscus naturally is your best option. With nearly 30 years of using the procedure to treat professional athletes, injections of the body’s natural stem cells have proven to be the most accurate, effective and non-invasive solution for torn or damaged meniscus tissue through the process of stem cell therapy.
How Does It Work?
- Stem Cell Extraction
- Concentration and Activation
- Stem Cells Transplanted to Problem Area
- The Cells Reduce Pain

PRP Therapy Explained
PRP injections use each individual patient’s own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. In this way, PRP injections use each individual patient’s own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems. These injections are an in-office procedure, and the entire procedure from start to finish takes about 30 minutes.
How Does It Work?
- Take a Blood Sample
- Separate Blood into Various Components
- Removes Platelets and Stem Cells
- Platelets Injected into Injured Area

Doctor Examination + Tests
While the condition commonly renders the knee joints immobile, a simple physical examination will determine the problem areas more precisely and directly. Your doctor will likely ask you to curl your toes to test how far the knee can still move as well as rotating your leg as you hold it straight forward, examining both the lateral and the medial meniscus.


Preparing for your appointment
After the physical examination with your doctor for your tailored treatment, you can expect to have the procedure fully finished as early as the same day. Making this procedure as smooth and effective as possible requires nothing more than drinking water (64 ounces a day for at least 2 days), stopping blood thinners and anti-inflammatory meds the week before and a light, natural sedative taken only once, shortly before your procedure.
The procedure itself avoids pain and can be done in less than a hour, resulting in a number of patients literally walking out of the operating room once it is finished.
Rehabilitation
The recovery is just as easy as the procedure itself while only being a few weeks longer. You could actually be able to walk back into your job after about a day, but it is advised not to engage in strenuous exercise until about 5 weeks (on average) after the procedure.
