Meniscus Tear Broward
Meniscus Tear Broward
Experiencing knee pain, stiffness, or a catching sensation when you move? You might be dealing with a meniscus tear—a common injury that occurs when the cartilage in your knee joint is damaged due to twisting, squatting, or sudden movements. At Theracave in Broward, we specialize in non-surgical treatment of meniscus tears through customized physical therapy. Our goal is to reduce inflammation, restore full range of motion, and strengthen the muscles that support your knee to improve stability and function.
The meniscus plays a crucial role in cushioning the knee and distributing weight across the joint. When torn, it can cause discomfort, swelling, and a feeling like your knee is giving out. While some cases require surgery, many tears—especially minor or degenerative ones—respond well to conservative treatment when addressed early. At Theracave, we provide one-on-one care designed to help you recover safely, avoid future injury, and return to your daily activities with confidence.

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.
