Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Meniscus injury belongs to the category of "tendon injury" in traditional Chinese medicine. It is mainly caused by fatigue, trauma, infection and other reasons that lead to low immunity of the body, or deficiency of organ function, which allows wind, cold, dampness and evil to invade the body and stagnate in the joints and meridians. Aiming at the cause of meniscus injury and starting from the holistic concept of traditional Chinese medicine, Wuzhi Paste takes reducing swelling and relieving pain, relaxing muscles and tendons, strengthening tendons and bones as the main principles in the treatment of meniscus injury. It improves blood microcirculation in the affected area and supplements nutrition of surrounding tissues, thereby eliminating symptoms of joint pain and swelling, strengthening joint flexion and extension function, and achieving the purpose of completely curing meniscus injury.

General Introduction

There are two types of treatments for meniscus tears: surgical and non-surgical. For tears that are small in range and located in the vascular area, they can be treated with external fixation such as plaster and knee braces. All other tears require surgical treatment. Generally speaking, most meniscus tears that cause symptoms require surgical treatment. In the past, when a meniscus tear was discovered, it was often completely removed. Although this could temporarily relieve symptoms, the joint that lost the protection of the meniscus would develop arthritis within just a few years. Therefore, most surgeries use techniques such as partial meniscus resection or meniscus suture to preserve as much normal meniscus tissue as possible and reduce the impact on joint function. The application of arthroscopic technology has reduced the trauma of surgery to a minimum, allowing patients to recover as quickly as possible.

In addition, as an alternative treatment for knee meniscus injuries, since the 1980s, the use of pure natural sawtooth shark cartilage powder to promote meniscus regeneration and restore joint function from the inside has become popular in advanced countries such as Europe, the United States, and Japan. This has become a new attempt in various advanced countries and has been gradually promoted to clinical practice around the world.
