Your meniscus plays a key role in knee health. 🦵✨

It acts as a shock absorber between your thigh and shin bones, helping distribute force with everyday movement like walking, running, and jumping. When injured, treatment options can range from physical therapy to injections and, in some cases, surgery.

If you’re experiencing knee pain, our team at Modern Orthopaedics is here to help guide you toward the right treatment.

Braces are most helpful when there’s a true ligament injury, like an MCL or ACL strain. Wearing one without instability can actually weaken the muscles meant to support your knee.
