Meniscus pain

A correct medical evaluation will be necessary by means of a good anamnesis, physical examination and, if necessary, support of imaging tests, focusing especially on detecting which are the factors that have led to the inflammation of this pad. We will observe whether these factors are purely related to the activities performed by the patient or if there is any anatomical alteration that favors it. The multidisciplinary vision is essential for a comprehensive approach, personalized and focused on achieving a prolonged relief of pain depending on the phase in which it is so it is possible that we have the intervention of professionals in biomechanics, podiatry and physiotherapy.

X-ray and/or MRI.

The treatment of this pathology will depend to a great extent on the patient’s condition, age and symptoms and the condition of the meniscus. We will try in the first instance to avoid surgery whenever possible and when the lesion size and location of the treatment allows it.

• Interventional medical treatments:
  • Treatments such as regenerative medicine:
    • Platelet-rich plasma: the compound extracted from the patient’s own blood has a concentrate of anti-inflammatory factors and cytokines that make it very useful for this pathology.
    • Cytokine-rich serum: this is a different process to platelet-rich plasma in which a compound rich in anti-inflammatory cytokines is also obtained from the blood.
    • Stem cells: originating from the patient’s bone or fat, they have a regenerative and anti-inflammatory power that makes them a unique treatment for pain relief.
  • Treatments with hyaluronic acid: as well as regenerative medicine, it reduces pain and favors meniscus recovery.

• Physiotherapy: methodology based on knowledge and clinical reasoning in which we combine a series of techniques and treatments both manual therapy and invasive techniques, always associated or complementing them with cutting-edge technology that allows us to accelerate the recovery process. Among other high-tech devices include Magnetolith, SIS, focal shock waves, Indiba, among others. This therapeutic combination allows us to activate the patient early to begin with a routine and a process of specific therapeutic exercises that allow us to enhance and strengthen the lost functional patterns.
