We’re here to guide you through the mysteries, and the soothing benefits, of physical therapy.

The Low Down on a Torn Meniscus

Before we go any further, let’s unveil the enigma of a meniscus. Nestled in your knees are two c-shaped pieces of cartilage, known as menisci. These crucial knee components provide a cushion between your thigh bone and shin bone. When the dinner conversation morphs from a polite discussion into a hands-on wrestling match— or even from something as simple as abrupt twisting or turning— your meniscus could tear. This annoying and painful intruder typically brings along symptoms such as swelling, stiffness, and often, a reduced range of motion in your knee.
