Meniscus Tear Davie
Meniscus Tear Davie
Sharp knee pain, stiffness, or a locking sensation after a twist or sudden movement may be signs of a meniscus tear—a common injury that affects the cartilage cushioning your knee joint. At Theracave in Davie, we specialize in non-surgical meniscus tear treatment through targeted physical therapy. Our personalized rehab plans focus on reducing pain, improving joint mobility, and strengthening the muscles that stabilize the knee, helping you return to daily activities with confidence.
The meniscus acts as a vital shock absorber between the thigh bone and shin bone, and when torn—whether from sports, squatting, or even daily movements—it can cause ongoing discomfort and instability. At Theracave in Davie, we tailor your treatment based on the severity and location of the tear, with a focus on long-term recovery and injury prevention. With early care and guided therapy, many meniscus injuries can heal naturally, allowing you to avoid surgery and get back to living pain-free.

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.
