Meniscal Injuries
Our approach to managing meniscal injuries is—at least initially—a non-surgical approach. Over the last decade, we have had great success using this approach, and have found that the majority of meniscal tears will heal on their own given time so long as the stifle joint (cranial cruciate) is stable (i.e. is not torn). Below is some medical literature that supports this approach.
