Healing From Meniscal Tears with The Neubie
Healing From Meniscal Tears with The Neubie
Meniscal tears in the knee (tears of the shock-absorbing cartilage) can cause pain, swelling, and a feeling of instability or locking. Rehabilitation is aimed at reducing symptoms and strengthening the knee to compensate for the injured meniscus. Neubie therapy can assist significantly in meniscus injury rehab, whether the approach is conservative or post-surgical. After a meniscal tear, swelling in the knee often leads to something called arthrogenic muscle inhibition – basically the quadriceps forget how to fire properly due to pain and swelling. Neubie can overcome this by directly activating the quadricep muscles and other stabilizers, essentially bypassing the reflex inhibition(levelupfitnessinc.com). This means you can start regaining strength even while the knee is still healing. Additionally, the Neubie current improves blood flow and reduces inflammation in the knee, helping to resolve swelling and nourish the meniscus tissue (which has limited blood supply on its own). If you had meniscus surgery, Neubie is great for speeding up post-op recovery: it helps control pain and swelling and expedites your progress in bending the knee and rebuilding muscle.
Key Benefits:
Activates quads early: Gets the quadriceps muscle working again despite knee swelling, preserving strength and aiding (stabilitylevelupfitnessinc.com)
Reduces swelling: Electric stimulation pumps fluid through the knee, decreasing swelling and stiffness in the joint
Enhanced healing environment: Increases circulation around the meniscus, which can promote better healing of the tear (or better recovery after surgical repair) (parknorthpt.com)
Improved knee function: Retrains proper muscle timing (quads, hamstrings, calves) for smooth knee motion, which helps eliminate that sense of knee “giving out”
Success Story: A middle-aged patient with a moderate meniscal tear in his knee opted for conservative treatment. He incorporated Neubie therapy into his rehab plan. Initially, he had trouble fully straightening his knee and his thigh muscle had noticeably shrunk. After the first Neubie session targeting his quad, he was able to do a straight-leg raise without the knee buckling – something he hadn’t managed since the injury. Within two weeks of regular sessions, his knee swelling went down and he regained almost full extension. He remarked that “my knee feels stronger and more stable than it has in months.” In fact, a case study documented that a patient using the Neubie after meniscus surgery recovered faster and with less pain than typically (expectedtntcharleston.com). In our patient’s case, he avoided surgery altogether. With chiropractic adjustments to ensure his knee, hip, and ankle were in alignment, plus the Neubie to strengthen and heal, he returned to hiking and biking without knee pain. It’s a great example of how Neubie can accelerate knee cartilage injury recovery, allowing patients to get back to their activities with confidence.
