Published November 15th, 2023 by InnerSun Family Chiropractic

At InnerSun Family Chiropractic in Roanoke, VA, Dr. Wendy Brown and Kirsten Kelly understand the critical role knees play in an athlete's life. Meniscus tears, a common knee injury among athletes, can significantly impact performance and lifestyle. Our clinic offers a groundbreaking approach to treating these injuries: SoftWave Therapy.

Understanding Meniscus Tears

The meniscus, a C-shaped cartilage in the knee, is crucial for stability and shock absorption. Athletes are particularly susceptible to meniscus tears due to the high demands of their sports. Causes include sudden twisting motions, deep knee bends, and impact during contact sports. Symptoms often involve swelling, stiffness, pain, a popping sensation, and limited knee motion.

SoftWave Therapy: A Non-Surgical Solution

While severe cases may require surgery, SoftWave Therapy presents a non-surgical alternative that's gaining popularity for its effectiveness and quick recovery times.

How SoftWave Therapy Benefits Athletes
