The meniscus, a tough and rubbery cartilage in your knee, acts as a cushion between your thigh bone and shinbone. A sudden, forceful twist of the knee can cause a meniscus tear, leading to swelling, pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.

Healing from a meniscus tear can be a lengthy process, even without surgery. During this time, the injury can significantly limit your ability to enjoy your favorite activities. If you're seeking a non-surgical solution, Nuvo Medical Associates offers advanced regenerative treatments, including stem cell and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, designed to accelerate recovery and restore function.

Our state-of-the-art clinics are fully equipped to provide cell therapies using autologous restorative cells harvested from your own tissues, such as fat, bone marrow, and blood. Our skilled professionals will assess your condition to determine the most effective, customized treatment plan for your meniscus tear.

Meniscus tears are particularly challenging to heal due to the limited blood supply in the tissue. By your 40s, only the outer edge of the meniscus receives blood flow, making tears near the center slower and harder to repair. This is why surgical interventions are so common—until now!

With Nuvo Medical Associates, you can access cutting-edge regenerative solutions that support your body’s natural ability to heal, avoiding the risks, pain, and downtime associated with surgery. Rediscover the freedom of movement and return to doing what you love with our innovative, non-invasive treatments.

Our treatments harness the power of natural regenerative healing to address pain and mobility issues effectively.

Many patients begin noticing results within weeks, while full recovery may take up to a year, depending on the severity of the injury.

Non-Surgical Solutions for Meniscus Tear Treatment

Neglecting a meniscus tear can lead to serious and lasting damage to your knee health and overall well-being. Persistent pain and swelling often worsen over time, making everyday activities increasingly difficult and uncomfortable. If left untreated, a meniscus tear can result in:

  • Progressive Joint Instability: The tear may grow larger, destabilizing the knee and impairing your balance, mobility, and ability to perform physical tasks.

  • Increased Risk of Falls: Chronic instability heightens the likelihood of falls, potentially causing additional injuries to the knee or other areas of the body.

  • Joint Degeneration: Untreated tears can accelerate the breakdown of cartilage and lead to long-term knee problems, such as arthritis.

  • Mechanical Joint Issues: Fragments of damaged fibrocartilage may lodge in the joint, causing the knee to lock, catch, or require surgical removal.

Over time, an untreated meniscus tear can damage the surrounding ligaments, tendons, and cartilage that support knee function, resulting in chronic pain, inflammation, and diminished quality of life.

Meniscus Tear Frequently Asked Questions

  • The meniscus consists of two C-shaped cartilage discs in the knee, positioned side by side. These vital structures act as shock absorbers, cushioning the knee joint and helping to distribute the forces that occur with movement—whether you're walking, running, jumping, or engaging in more dynamic activities.

  • Meniscus tears are commonly classified into six primary types: radial, horizontal, bucket-handle, incomplete, complex, and flap tears. While some may go by alternative names, these six classifications represent the most widely recognized forms of meniscus injuries, each varying in their location, severity, and impact on knee function.

  • Surgery for meniscus tears is often recommended too quickly, with many clinics and doctors overlooking the fact that its success rate may not be as high as anticipated. The body has an incredible capacity to heal itself, and noninvasive treatments such as physical therapy, stem cell therapy, and other regenerative medicine approaches can be far more effective in healing your meniscus tear without the need for surgery or medication.

  • Tears located on the outer part of the meniscus tend to heal more effectively due to a better blood supply. However, even tears in the inner regions, where blood flow is limited, can still benefit from regenerative medicine. At Nuvo Medical Associates, we’re dedicated to creating a personalized recovery plan tailored to your specific needs. Reach out to us today to explore how we can support your healing journey!
