Here at Rockefeller Health & Medical our team of chiropractors and therapists regularly treat joint pain, including knee pain caused by meniscal tears. Our chiropractors Dr. Anthony Conte, B.S, D.C. and Dr. Cariann Paul also offer lifestyle advice and information about treating a torn meniscus in Manhattan and Midtown in NYC.
What are Meniscal Tears?
A meniscal tear refers to damage caused to the cartilage of the knee. If you have been diagnosed with a torn meniscus, you are suffering from a common knee injury. This injury is most often caused by an unnatural twisting of the knee. When this type of traumatic injury occurs, the tissue in the knee is torn and damaged.
What Are the Common Symptoms of a Torn Meniscus?
The most common symptoms of a torn meniscus are inflamed, swollen muscle and joint tissue. This leads to knee pain. In addition, you may lose some of your mobility and experience difficulty extending your knee. Stiffness in the knee is another common sign that you have torn your meniscus.
How Does a Chiropractor in Manhattan and Midtown East and West Treat Knee Pain from a Torn Meniscus?
If you are diagnosed with a torn meniscus, our chiropractor is able to treat your knee pain whether you live in Midtown East or West or Manhattan. Our treatments include chiropractic adjustments to realign your musculoskeletal system. We also use spinal decompression to reduce pressure on your nerve endings, which may be the cause of your knee pain.
