Technically known as "meniscus," cartilage is a protective, spongy, flexible tissue that minimizes friction and stress on connective tissues and bones. This protection is absolutely vital to ensure effective functioning of various body systems. Damage to the meniscus due to injury or degeneration can result in pain, stiffness, immobility, and stresses on connective tissues.

Meniscus injuries can be provoked by an astonishing variety of workplace accidents. Truck drivers can tear their knees just by driving long distances without taking breaks, for instance. Construction workers can trip on unmarked hazards and thus strain their knees or ankles, resulting in serious damage to meniscus tissue. Even healthcare providers, such as surgeons who overuse their wrists, can suffer damage to cartilage. If fact, anyone who climbs, drives, falls, lifts, operates machinery, or walks or runs during the course of business – essentially anyone, that is – can suffer cartilage damage under certain circumstances.
