Meniscus Tears Treatment Without Surgery

Meniscus tears are a tricky injury since they don’t have the greatest blood supply – by the time you reach your 40s, only the outside of your meniscus has a blood supply. 

This means that tears along the outside border heal faster and better than ones closer to the middle. Meniscus repair surgery has therefore become terribly common – it sounds like there are no real alternative options…until now!

How We Treat Meniscus Tears At Eternity

Our non-drug and non-surgical approaches to healing are rooted in the research that shows the body has the power to heal itself. 

We use different strategies of regenerative and integrative medicine – like stem cells – to put your meniscus into a healing state, giving the body the tools it needs to speed up the healing process. 

And not only do we use cutting-edge stem cell therapy to stimulate healing without surgery, but we also use the skills of our highly-trained team including:

  • Platelet-rich (PRP) plasma therapy to power-up the healing process,
  • Healthy habits education to teach you the skills necessary to continue on your pain-free journey,
  • And strengthening programs to make sure your meniscus stays stable long after you’re done with us!

Frequently Asked Questions

The meniscus refers to one of two C-shaped cartilage discs in your knee that sit beside each other. They’re designed to absorb the shock that goes through your knee when you walk, jump, run, skip, and more!

Meniscus tears are usually categorized as radial, horizontal, bucket-handle, incomplete, complex, or flap tears. You’ll sometimes find that some of these are known as different names, but they’re 6 of the most popular types.

Meniscus surgeries tend to get prescribed a little too easily, as most clinics/doctors unfortunately won’t talk about the low success-rate of them. The body is very powerful, and things like physical therapy, stem cell therapy, and other regenerative medicine can have a bigger impact on healing your meniscus tear without surgery or drugs!

Meniscus tears on the outside of the meniscus tend to heal better since there’s a better blood supply available, but tears in the middle can also benefit from regenerative medicine. We’d love to talk to you today to see what your plan of recovery could look like and how we can help!

MEET ELIZABETH BECKNER AND DAISHA ESCAMILLA

OUR CALIFORNIA LICENSED PHLEBOTOMISTS

Liz started doing personal blood draws after her son, Dashiell, was born with Zellwegers disease. His diagnosis required numerous blood draws and drug levels throughout his life. After sitting through long wait times at the labs followed by watching many different phlebotomists, many new to the job, struggle to find his veins, often poking him multiple times, as a seasoned phlebotomist, Liz decided to draw his blood at home and hand deliver it to the lab myself. Soon after she began doing personal touch blood draws so she can now offer that same personalized service to you.

Liz graduated from Pepperdine University with a degree in Biology in 1994. She moved to Santa Barbara and earned her phlebotomy certificate in 1995. Liz began working at St. Francis Medical Center in the Physical Therapy Department and quickly transferred to the Laboratory. Perfecting her venipuncture techniques on all floors of the hospital, including post-operative patients, pregnant women going into labor, sick or premature babies, and emergency room patrons, she then improved her patient care skills working for internal medicine doctors, one of whom was the Medical Director of Hospice and won Doctor of the Year. In 1999, Liz started working with a group of local retinal surgeons. Her primary job consisted of injecting dye into arm veins and photographing its flow through the patients retinal vessels. When patients are worried about their diagnosis or apprehensive about the procedure because of difficult veins, her quick, almost pain free needle stick and kind but professional bed side manner would put them at ease.

The various settings and patients Liz has encountered over the years have enabled her to become very skilled at finding the smallest and most fragile of vessels. Her specialities include infants and the elderly, diabetics of all ages, patients with rolling veins, on blood thinners or chemotherapy. She lives in downtown Santa Barbara, travels from Goleta to Carpintera and brings all the necessary supplies directly to you. All she needs from you is a lab request and your home or office becomes an instant draw station. Appointment times are very flexible, and she is friendly, reliable and punctual. Be kind to your arm and treat yourself to the luxury blood draw you deserve!!!

MEET MICHAEL BROOKINS; BS, CNMT, ABAAHP

Mike brings more than just a medical perspective to his clients; at the age of 14, he began an athletic career as a pole-vaulter that would end up taking him on an incredible journey over the next 13 years of his life. Throughout his athletic journey Mike was constantly working to find the ideal balance of fitness and proper nutrition in order to maximize his performances. Combined with his medical knowledge the years of athletic experience provide a unique and successful combination that serve to benefit his staff and clients.

“After I shifted the focus of my practice from Sports Medicine into Nuclear Medicine specifically Interventional Endocrinology. I found myself questioning our western medical paradigm…Here I was performing thyroid cancer and Hyperthyroidism treatments with harmful radical thyroid radioactive ablations which really made me take a hard look in the mirror and become more of a researcher to find safer and more effective options to better treat my clients. During my research I realized that there were very few, if any, medically directed programs focused towards achieving a “Healthier Lifestyle” rather than typical “Diet” fads.” A few years later after training and working with some of the worlds foremost Bio-identical Hormone Replacement specialists I became Board Certified in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. Sort of just found my passion and the answers I had been looking for with this new specialty finally after years of treating people with the Band-Aid “fix it when its broken” mentality instead of at the root cause.”

Mike has spent the last 10 years in Anti-Aging, Functional and Regenerative Medicine. He has trained over 120 physicians in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine and consulting for their practices. Today his vision is a reality, and clients from all of the world come to benefit from the successful programs that have been established at Age Management Institute Santa Barbara. He firmly believes in educating the patient about the importance of good nutrition, hormone balance, stress management, and regular exercise is the key to aging well and having a high quality of life well into your golden years.
