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.
