What are the conservative treatments for meniscus injury

Meniscus injury is a very common injury of the knee, usually caused by external force. This injury will not only bring more severe pain to the patient, but also hinder the patient's normal life and work, causing great distress to the patient. Generally, conservative treatment of meniscus injury is effective.

Method 1

In the early stages of meniscus injury, timely treatment and diagnosis are required. If the patient does not have a large hematoma, the symptoms are not very serious, the knee joint is not locked or stuck, and the quadriceps muscle is not atrophied. Generally speaking, patients do not need surgery. However, patients must use plaster for fixation and then receive medication for treatment, so that after recovery most patients will be able to exercise like normal people.

Method 2

Secondly, patients can also be treated through some physical therapy methods in traditional Chinese medicine, such as acupuncture, cupping, and plasters, which can all play a good role. However, in the process of using these methods, patients also need to take medication for treatment and adhere to the course of treatment, so that patients can get good treatment effects. In addition, during the treatment period, the patient must maintain a good rest and never engage in strenuous exercise, otherwise it will become more serious.

Nutrition, this is very important. The recovery process requires sufficient nutrition, such as bone soup, but avoid eating irritating foods: rooster, carp, and seafood.

These are the methods for conservative treatment of meniscus injuries. In fact, medically speaking, it is not recommended to treat meniscus injuries through surgery. Because surgery is a traumatic treatment method, it can easily cause side effects to the patient himself and even cause more serious harm.
