A member asked:
Will a tens unit help or harm a torn meniscus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: A tens unit is not prescribed for healing purposes - it is prescribed for symptommatic treatment, i.e. To reduce pain. Therefore, it would not be expected to have any physical effect on a torn meniscus.
