Learn how to check for a meniscus injury in your knee at home using these 3 tests we’ve modified and made really simple. Meniscus problems often cause swelling, stiffness, and pain soon after they happen. Often healthcare professionals like surgeons, physical therapists, physiotherapists, physicians and more will recommend surgery when it can be avoided! Here at El Paso Manual Physical Therapy, we help people everyday with meniscus problems. They escape surgery, injections and medications and get back to being healthy, active and mobile again. In this video we cover the meniscus test you can do at home to self-diagnose the problem, but keep in mind that if you want a legitimate diagnosis you need to visit your doctor and likely have imaging done...like an MRI. That will confirm or deny you’ve got a meniscus tear in your knee. If you do have a meniscus tear, your doctor will either refer you to an orthopedic surgeon for a surgery consult or to a physical therapist to begin doing rehab exercises. Keep in mind that if you end up going to physical therapy, most physiotherapy clinics are set up to help patients that have just had surgery...so if you’re looking to PREVENT surgery, you need to do some research and find the physical therapy clinic that is right for you. We recommend a manual-based physical therapy clinic. The physical therapists there will likely have the right training to diagnose and treat someone looking to avoid surgery, injections and medications. If you’re not able to get to a physical therapy clinic, we have created a 100% online program for you called the 28 Day Knee Health & Wellness Boost Program. Dr. David has packed his knowledge on how to heal knee problems naturally into the videos of the program. You can follow along on the exercises and teachings in the videos to learn the best exercises and stretches to improve the health of your knee problems. Even if its cartilage or meniscus problems.
