Is traditional Chinese medicine good for treating meniscus?

The above is some relevant content about "Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of Meniscus". The meniscus is actually one of the structures of the knee joint. Damage to the meniscus will cause knee pain. While actively cooperating with the treatment, you should also pay more attention to your daily health care, do more massage, exercise reasonably, and avoid doing too strenuous exercise to avoid further injury.
