Can Regenerative Cell Treatment Repairs Meniscus Tears Without Surgery?

 Are you undergoing knee pain for a prolonged duration? Since knee pain is quite common among all people, no one pays careful attention to it. What will happen if this knee pain occurs due to a meniscus tear? It’s highly recommended not to underestimate this knee pain. An early examination can, of course, prevent further complications. However, do not consider that the surgery is the only effective treatment. Our Medica Stem Cells therapy will naturally help in relieving pain. Are you curious to know how? Let us first dig deep into the causes and symptoms of meniscus tear formation so that it will be easier to understand the unique significance of regenerative cell treatment.


What is a meniscus tear?


Usually, a meniscal tear is considered to be one of the most common causes of pain in the knee region. Everyone is prone to meniscal damage regardless of age or job. However, athletes and those who are involved in contact sports are at a considerable risk of developing meniscus tears. 


The structure of the knee joint is quite complicated in our body. There are four knee bones, namely the tibia, femur, fibula, and patella. Additionally, the tendons and ligaments comprise together to form the knee joint, which provides stability. The two C-shaped lamellae which extend the surfaces of the tibial head are termed menisci. They stabilise the knee joint and acts as a cushion for articulation. 


This knee meniscus tear may be partial or complete. According to the severity of the injury, knee pain can be moderate to intense. If not treated in time, knee pain may halt your regular activities. Not only that! Even the untreated meniscus tear may lead to other major knee ailments.


Symptoms of a meniscus tear


In the initial stage, the meniscus injury may not be so intense. People can walk and run with little discomfort. In the later stage, this injury may lead to intense pain as well as discomfort.


Other symptoms include:

  • Painful knee joints where the pain exacerbates out of little pressure

  • Stiffness

  • Swelling 

  • Inability to bend or straighten the knees

  • Locking sensation of the knee

  • Popping sensation 


Conventional treatment of meniscus tear

Initially, the patients suffering from the meniscus tear problem may start the home treatment, namely the R.I.C.E. formula, as a pain management therapy. The RICE formula includes:

  • Rest: Give sufficient rest to the affected knee without moving anywhere.

  • Ice: Opt for ice therapy where the ice wrapped by cloth is applied to the affected knee regularly.

  • Compression: Apply a little compression by bandaging around the affected knee portion to reduce inflammation.

  • Elevation: Elevate the affected knee above the chest level to prevent swelling.

Despite following the R.I.C.E. formula, if there is no relief from knee pain and the associated symptoms, the physicians prescribe non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and recommend physical therapy for pain relief. 

If there is no significant improvement, the physician may opt for corticosteroid injections. However, you will get relief only for a short time. Moreover, these injections have systemic complications. Hence, the physician will ultimately recommend surgery despite having an extensive rehabilitation period.


Regenerative Cell Treatment


However, it is better to opt for a natural and non-surgical modality, namely Regenerative Cell Treatment, before surgery. As mentioned above, this treatment uses your cells to repair and regrow the repaired tissues quickly.


Various other benefits of Regenerative cell treatment include:

  • Minimally invasive

  • Same-day procedure 

  • Minimal recovery time

  • No requirement for general anaesthesia 

  • Post-operative pain medication during the procedure is not needed.

  • The patient will remain awake during the entire procedure.

  • No risk of allergy or rejection


Hence, regenerative cell treatment uniquely works compared to medications, steroid injections, and surgery.
