Meniscal Injuries/Meniscal Tears

Meniscal Tears New YorkMeniscal knee injuries are very common in athletes, especially in sports that require pivoting (tennis/squash), pounding (running), and turning (skiing).

Degenerative changes due to the aging process can also affect the knee menisci. The knee has two menisci, an inner or medial meniscus and an outer or lateral meniscus. These c-shaped "donuts" are made of cartilage and allow the bones (femur and tibia) to glide smoothly against one another during flexion (bending) and extension (straightening) of the knee.

These structures act as shock absorbers and will distribute weight-bearing load on the knee. When they are damaged, knee pain occurs. Not all meniscus injuries need surgery.


Our Approach

Our own doctors have invented and researched many of the most effective, non-surgical soft tissue procedures for treating meniscal injuries.

We are proud to say that meniscal injuries and meniscal tears are among our top specialties and we have achieved great success with thousands of knee injury patients over the last 25 years.


Our examination and treatment is completely unique and patients often experience great improvement within a month of treatment.
