Did you know?

Did you know that new research has proven that 60% of people over the age of 55 have a meniscus tear but have no pain? Did you know that new research indicates that surgery for a meniscus tear provides no better results than physical therapy? If you have knee pain and have been diagnosed with a meniscus tear or arthritis it is extremely common to be told by surgeons here in Traverse City that surgery is the only answer. This is simply not true. To get permanent relief from your knee pain you must get a treatment that looks at the entire body. The knee is connected directly to the hip and the foot. If the foot and hip are not moving properly your knee is stuck in the middle with nowhere to go and will begin to get stressed out. This increase stress will cause inflammation and pain. The good news is that the knee pain specialists here at Superior Physical Therapy are trained to look at the entire kinetic chain in order to find a permanent solution to your knee pain regardless if you have arthritis or a meniscus tear.
