A meniscus tear is a common knee injury that can cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility. The meniscus is a C-shaped cartilage that cushions and stabilizes your knee joint. Damage to this cartilage can lead to discomfort and increase the risk of arthritis if untreated.

Understanding Meniscus Tears
The meniscus can be torn through sports injuries, accidents, or gradual wear and tear. Symptoms of a meniscus tear include:
- Knee pain, especially when twisting or rotating the knee
- Swelling and stiffness
- Limited range of motion
- A feeling of the knee “locking” or catching
Meniscus tears vary in severity, from minor fraying to large, complex tears that affect knee stability.
How Stem Cell & PRP Therapy Help Meniscus Tears
Traditional treatments such as rest, physical therapy, and surgery may not fully restore meniscus health. Regenerative therapies focus on healing damaged cartilage and reducing inflammation by:
- Stimulating repair of torn meniscus tissue
- Reducing joint inflammation and pain
- Enhancing cartilage regeneration and strength
- Improving knee stability and function
Stem cell therapy introduces mesenchymal stem cells that can differentiate into cartilage cells, aiding tissue repair.
PRP therapy delivers growth factors from your own blood to accelerate healing and modulate inflammation.
