Meniscus Tear Hollywood
Meniscus Tear Hollywood
Experiencing sharp knee pain, swelling, or a locking sensation after a sudden twist or awkward movement? You may be dealing with a meniscus tear—a common injury that affects the cushioning cartilage in your knee. At Theracave in Hollywood, we specialize in personalized, non-surgical treatment plans for meniscus tears. Our approach includes manual therapy, guided exercises, and mobility work aimed at reducing pain, improving range of motion, and strengthening the muscles around your knee for better stability.
The meniscus plays a critical role in shock absorption and joint function, and when torn, it can disrupt your daily routine and limit physical activity. Whether your injury happened during sports, work, or day-to-day movement, Theracave in Hollywood is here to help. With early and consistent physical therapy, many meniscus tears can heal without surgery, allowing you to regain strength and return to the activities you love with confidence and comfort.

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.
