“Knee tears” commonly involve damage to the meniscus (the cartilage cushions inside the knee) or to ligaments such as the ACL, PCL, MCL, or LCL. These injuries can follow a single twist or impact—or develop gradually on top of existing arthritis.
Whether you’re an athlete, a weekend gardener, or simply active at work, knee tears can make you cautious with every step..
Regenerative Knee Tear Therapy at NexGenEsis Healthcare
Do you experience any of the following in your knee?
- Sharp, localized pain on the inside, outside, front, or back of the joint.
- Swelling, stiffness, or a feeling of fullness after activity.
- Clicking, catching, or a sensation that something “grabs” inside the knee.
- Feeling like the knee might “give way” or can’t be trusted on uneven ground.
- Difficulty squatting, kneeling, pivoting, or going downstairs.
Many degenerative meniscus tears and partial ligament injuries can be managed without surgery, especially when addressed early. NexGenEsis Healthcare uses regenerative medicine tools to support healing in and around injured structures while also addressing joint mechanics
CONVENTIONAL Vs. REGENERATIVE MEDICINE FOR KNEE TEAR RELIEF
Conventional care for meniscus and ligament tears often includes:
- Rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE).
- Anti-inflammatory medications.
- Basic physical therapy and bracing.
- Corticosteroid injections to calm pain.
- Arthroscopic surgery or ligament reconstruction for persistent symptoms.
While surgery is appropriate for some acute or unstable tears, many degenerative tears in arthritic knees do not improve long-term function more than high-quality non-surgical care. Standard approaches also may not focus on the health of surrounding tissues.
Our non-surgical knee tear strategy emphasizes:
- Regenerative injections (such as PRP, BMAC, and other biologics in selected cases) around meniscal and ligamentous structures to support healing and reduce inflammation.
- Strength, balance, and neuromuscular retraining to restore stability and confidence in the joint.
- Load and activity modification that respects healing timelines without deconditioning the rest of your body.
- Office-based, minimally invasive procedures when appropriate.
- Joint- and tissue-preserving strategy where surgery is not clearly required.
- Reduced reliance on repeated steroid injections and chronic pain medications.
- Function-focused recovery: Aiming to return you to work, sports, and daily life with more stability and less pain.
Before you commit to arthroscopy or reconstruction, see whether your tear and overall knee health are suitable for a regenerative, non-surgical plan. Call us today to schedule a consultation and get a clear, personalized plan to address your knee tears issue.
