Meniscus Tears and SoftWave Therapy: A Non-Invasive Solution in Rochester, NY

Meniscus tears are a common injury, often occurring during sports or other activities that involve twisting or rotating the knee. These injuries can be incredibly painful and limit your mobility. In Rochester, NY, Dr. Sam Camarata at Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness offers an innovative solution to heal meniscus tears without surgery or injections - SoftWave Therapy.

Understanding Meniscus Tears

The meniscus is a rubbery, C-shaped disc that cushions your knee and helps with stability. A meniscus tear happens when this cartilage tears, often due to forceful twisting or sudden pivoting. Common causes and symptoms include:

Causes:

Sports Activities: Athletes who participate in sports like soccer, basketball, and tennis are at higher risk due to the abrupt movements involved.

Aging: As we age, the meniscus weakens and becomes more susceptible to tearing.

Occupational: Jobs or activities that involve repetitive knee bending or heavy lifting can contribute.

Symptoms:

Pain: Meniscus tears can cause sharp, stabbing pain in the knee.

Swelling: Inflammation often accompanies a tear, leading to swelling in the affected knee.

Limited Range of Motion: You may find it difficult to fully extend or bend your knee.

Popping Sensation: Some people hear or feel a popping sensation at the time of the injury.

Traditional Treatments vs. SoftWave Therapy

Traditional treatments for meniscus tears often include rest, physical therapy, pain medication, and in severe cases, injection or surgery. While these methods can be effective, they may come with drawbacks, such as extended recovery time and potential side effects from medication or surgery.

SoftWave Therapy, available in Rochester, NY at Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, offers a groundbreaking alternative. 

Here's how it works:

Non-Invasive:

SoftWave Therapy is non-invasive, meaning no needles or incisions are required. This reduces the risk of complications and eliminates downtime.

Stem Cell Activation:

SoftWave Therapy stimulates your body's natural healing mechanisms, particularly stem cell activation. This accelerates tissue repair and regeneration.

Inflammation Reduction: 

The therapy effectively reduces inflammation, providing immediate relief and comfort.

Improved Blood Flow via Angiogenesis:

By increasing blood flow and circulation to the injured area via angiogenesis, SoftWave Therapy enhances the healing process.

Non-Medicinal: 

SoftWave Therapy is drug-free, making it an excellent choice for those who wish to avoid medication.
