HOW TO USE BIOSTIMTHERAPY
TORN MENISCUS OF THE KNEE

CLICK HERE TO ORDER YOUR BIOSTIM™.Description:

The is a common sporting injury, caused by twisting forces and is often referred to as a 'torn cartilage'. Pain is usually felt when the knee is fully bent or straightend, and the tear itself may limit the knee from extending fully.

ELECTRODE POSITIONINGThis injury is very often a limiting factor to continuing high level sports - and usually requires an operation. BioStim™ however, is an important pain relieving measure and may help delay the need for surgery (in some cases it may even negate the need for an operation). BioStim™ should also be used to strengthen the thigh muscles that will get weaker with inactivity.

Placement of Applicators:

One electrode on either side of the knee.
