Meniscus Tear Tamarac
Meniscus Tear Tamarac
If you’re experiencing knee pain, stiffness, or a locking sensation after a sudden twist or pivot, it could be a meniscus tear—a common injury to the cartilage that cushions your knee joint. At Theracave in Tamarac, we provide expert physical therapy designed to treat meniscus tears conservatively, often without the need for surgery. Our customized treatment plans focus on reducing pain, improving range of motion, and strengthening the surrounding muscles to restore stability and function.
Meniscus injuries can happen during sports, work, or even routine daily movements, and when left untreated, they may lead to chronic discomfort or joint damage. At Theracave in Tamarac, our experienced team creates a personalized rehabilitation plan tailored to your injury and lifestyle. Through hands-on care, therapeutic exercise, and ongoing support, we help you heal safely and effectively—so you can return to your normal routine with a stronger, more resilient 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.
