Chiropractic Treatment for Meniscal Injuries: A Comprehensive Guide

Updated: Jan 11

Chiropractic Treatment for Meniscal Injuries: A Comprehensive Guide


What is the Meniscus 

A meniscus is a crucial part of the knee as it provides cushioning between the femur and the tibia (aka between the thighbone and the shinbone)


It often gets injured following a rotational injury like twisting whilst playing netball/basketball.  After the initial trauma to the knee, swelling and then knee locking can occur, unfortunately. 


How Can Health Wise Chiropractic Help


The good news is if it is a vertical stable tear, it will most often heal. 


Chiropractic adjustments may be helpful in reducing meniscus symptoms. 


I often find that ultrasound therapy in the acute stages can help with the pain and swelling.
