Meniscus Tear Lauderhill
Meniscus Tear Lauderhill
If you’re experiencing knee pain, swelling, or a catching or locking sensation during movement, it could be a sign of a meniscus tear—a common injury to the cartilage in the knee. At Theracave in Lauderhill, we offer targeted physical therapy programs designed to treat meniscus tears conservatively, helping you avoid surgery when possible. Our individualized approach focuses on reducing pain, restoring flexibility, and building strength in the muscles that support and stabilize your knee.
The meniscus acts as a shock absorber between your thigh bone and shin bone, and injuries to this cartilage can result from sports, falls, or even simple movements like turning or squatting. At Theracave in Lauderhill, our expert therapists work one-on-one with you to create a customized recovery plan tailored to your specific condition and goals. With early intervention and consistent care, you can recover safely, prevent further damage, and get back to your routine with a stronger, more stable knee.

Q&A
What is a meniscus tear and how does it happen?
A meniscus tear is a rupture in the cartilage of the knee, usually caused by twisting or pivoting while the foot is planted. It can result from sports injuries, trauma, or wear and tear over time.
Can a meniscus tear heal without surgery?
Yes. Small or partial tears—especially on the outer edge—can often heal with rest and physical therapy. Larger or complex tears may require surgery, but even post-surgery, physical therapy is crucial for recovery.
How long does recovery take after a meniscus tear?
For non-surgical cases, recovery may take 6–8 weeks with consistent therapy. Post-surgical rehab can take 3–5 months depending on the procedure and severity of the tear.
Can I return to sports or exercise after a meniscus tear?
Yes. Most people return to their activities after completing rehab. A structured physical therapy plan focuses on strengthening, mobility, and knee control to reduce the risk of reinjury.
