Meniscus Tear Plantation
Meniscus Tear Plantation
If you’re experiencing knee pain, swelling, or a locking sensation after a sudden movement, you may be dealing with a meniscus tear—a common injury to the cartilage that cushions your knee joint. At Theracave in Plantation, we offer targeted physical therapy to treat meniscus tears non-surgically whenever possible. Our customized treatment plans are designed to relieve pain, restore flexibility, and strengthen the muscles that support your knee, promoting long-term recovery and joint stability.
Meniscus tears can result from sports injuries, repetitive strain, or everyday motions like bending or twisting. Left untreated, they can interfere with mobility and increase the risk of future joint problems. At Theracave in Plantation, our expert therapists provide one-on-one care tailored to your specific condition and goals. With early, focused therapy, many clients experience full recovery without surgery—getting back to the activities they enjoy with comfort and 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.
