Have you been experiencing knee pain for a long time? Knee pain is common among people of all age groups. Early examination of knee pain is essential to avoid further complications, especially if it is a meniscus tear. Again, do not think that surgery is the only option. Medica Stem Cells therapy will help in healing the partial meniscus tear by itself. Let us first understand the causes and symptoms of the meniscus tear and see how regenerative cell treatment can do wonders.What is a meniscus tear?Meniscal tear is one of the most common causes of knee pain. Anyone can suffer from meniscal damage, regardless of age or activity. Athletes, especially those who play contact sports, are at a higher risk of having meniscus tears.The knee joint is considered as one of the most complex joints in our human body. Apart from the bones (femur, tibia, fibula, and patella), the tendons and ligaments play an essential role in forming the knee joint and providing stability to the knee. The menisci are two C-shaped lamellae that help to deepen the surfaces of the tibial head for articulation. They also act as a cushion and stabilizes the joint. The meniscus tear can be either partial or complete. Depending on the severity of the injury, knee pain can be moderate to severe. If left untreated, knee pain may stop your routine activities. Moreover, untreated meniscus tear may cause other major knee issues.Symptoms of a meniscus tearThe injury initially may not be so severe. You can walk and run with not much discomfort. But, later, it leads to severe pain and discomfort.Other symptoms include:Painful joints where the pain gets aggravated by pressureSwellingDifficulty in bending and straightening the kneesStiffnessLocked kneePopping sensationTreatment of meniscus tearThe first conventional treatment method for the meniscus tear includes R.I.C.E. formula, along with pain management therapy. The R.I.C.E. routine includes:Rest: Provide adequate rest to the affected knee.Ice: Apply ice wrapped by a cloth on the affected knee at regular intervals.Compression: Apply pressure by tying a bandage around the affected knee to reduce inflammation.Elevation: You can elevate the affected knee to prevent swelling.If there is no relief from pain by following home treatment named R.I.C.E. routine, the physicians prescribe non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for pain relief.Next, the physician may also recommend corticosteroid injections. But it provides relief only for a shorter period. It also has several systemic adverse side effects.Hence if there is no significant improvement in the symptoms, the physician recommends surgery as an alternative. But the surgical treatment always ends up with an extensive rehabilitation period and potentially significant complications.Regenerative Cell TreatmentBefore opting for a surgical procedure, it is always better to try the non-surgical method, namely Regenerative Cell Treatment. The regenerative treatment utilizes your body’s cells to regenerate, heal or regrow the repaired tissues naturally and quickly.Regenerative cell treatment includes the following benefits:It is a minimally invasive, same-day procedure with a shorter recovery time compared to surgery.There is no need to take any general anaesthesia or post-operative pain medication. You will stay awake during the entire procedure.There is no risk of rejection or cross-transmission of disease, as they utilize your cells harvested from your body.Hence, regenerative cell treatment has also reduced the need for medications, steroid injections and surgery.For more information about the Regenerative Treatment- Partial Meniscus Tears, At Medica Stem Cells, we use platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, prolotherapy, stromal vascular fraction therapy, and mesenchymal cell therapy for meniscus tear treatment.
