What is a meniscus tear?

A meniscus tear is one of the most common orthopedic conditions. Both of your knees have a c-shaped piece of cartilage that acts as a shock absorber and cushion for your joints. Often, a sports injury, squatting or twisting incorrectly, or age can cause damage to this cartilage.

Different types of meniscus tears include:

Radial tear
Medial tear
Horizontal tear
Bucket-handle tear
Flap tear
Degenerative tear

Our team of regenerative specialists at our Boca Raton pain clinic will conduct a complete exam to determine what type of meniscus tear you may be dealing with. From there, we will put together a comprehensive treatment plan to help you repair and recover faster than traditional methods.

What are the symptoms of a meniscus tear?

Knee pain can be discouraging, especially when you don’t know exactly what is causing your pain. Below are typical signs that you may be experiencing damage to your meniscus.

Pain, stiffness, or swelling, usually to the inside, outside, or back of the knee
A popping sensation
Pain when twisting or rotating the knee
Your knee may feel locked in place when trying to move it
Hearing a “click” while rotating your knee

If you are feeling any of the above symptoms, don’t wait to get in with an orthopedic specialist. Our specialists at Manhattan Integrative Medicine have helped many patients in the Boca Raton area heal their orthopedic condition alleviating their symptoms for good.

Can regenerative medicine help a meniscus tear?

Traditionally, a torn meniscus is treated by surgery, where they will remove part or all of the cartilage or tissue. This often leads to further damage exposing patients to early onset osteoarthritis.

Or, they may encourage steroid injections to alleviate your pain. However, this can do more harm than good. Steroid injections only suppress inflammation when actually, inflammation is a vital part of healing. These injections are masking your pain but not healing the injury.

At Manhattan Integrative Medicine, we believe in the power of regenerative medicine to help repair, regenerate and rebuild tissue naturally for optimal healing.

We skip the pain pills and surgery and get directly to the source of your pain. Then we provide therapeutic methods that heal your injury at the cellular level.

Our regenerative medicine treatments at Manhattan Integrative Medicine include:

PRP Therapy

Your platelets contain powerful growth factors that trigger cell reproduction and encourage tissue regeneration. Platelet-rich plasma therapy uses your own blood cells to accelerate your healing in a specific area.

We do this by placing a small sample of your blood in a centrifuge to rapidly spin and separate the platelets from other components. Then these platelets are injected back into the injury site to promote optimal healing.

Benefits of PRP for Meniscus Tear

Higher healing rate
Proven to reduce pain
Improves function
Superior results compared to other methods

Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cells are being used for many health conditions today due to their proven healing results, especially for meniscus tears. They help stimulate the formation of cartilage, tendon, ligaments, bone, and fibrous connective tissue.

Your stem cells respond to an injury, so when we inject them directly into your meniscus injury site, they activate T-cells to stop inflammation and jumpstart the natural healing process, ultimately resulting in your meniscus regenerating itself.

Benefits of Stem Cells for Meniscus Tear

Restores injury and surrounding tissue
Accelerates recovery time
Improves strength and mobility
Naturally regenerate meniscus

Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy is a series of injections containing a natural sugar substance that accelerates healing and adequately repairs the meniscus. The injection triggers inflammation, stimulating the growth of healthy tissue by increasing the blood supply to the injury site. As a result, you will experience stronger tendons and ligaments and reduced pain.

Benefits of Prolotherapy for Meniscus Tear

Natural healing and long-term symptom relief
Promotes new connective tissue
Statistically shown to significantly reduce pain
Improves stiffness and function
