Meniscus Tear

Dr. Dharmender Vashishth Physioace Physiotherapy & Sports Rehab Clinic

The meniscus is a rubbery, C-shaped disc that cushions your knee joint. A meniscus tear occurs when this cartilage is damaged due to sudden twisting or overextension of the knee joint. This injury is common among athletes but can also happen during everyday activities or as a result of degeneration over time.

  1. Conservative Treatment: For minor tears, conservative approaches such as rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), along with physical therapy exercises, may be sufficient to alleviate symptoms and promote healing.

  2. Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be prescribed to reduce pain and inflammation associated with a meniscus tear.

  3. Injection Therapies: Corticosteroid injections or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy may be recommended to reduce pain and promote healing in cases where conservative measures are not effective.

  4. Surgical Intervention: For more severe tears or cases where conservative treatments have failed, surgical options such as arthroscopic meniscus repair or partial meniscectomy may be considered to trim or repair the torn meniscus.

Our Goal Is To Provide An Individualized Treatment That Encourages Self-Reliant Care.

Giving care of exceptional quality while always prioritizing the health of the patient.
