How is a Meniscus Tear Treated?
Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) are used to control initial pain and swelling. Pain and anti-inflammatory medications may also be prescribed. The following are included in a nonsurgical OIBO treatment plan:
Immobilization
Physical therapy
Surgical intervention may be recommended for some meniscus tears. During a minimally invasive arthroscopic meniscus repair, one of our specialists removes or repairs the torn meniscus. Physical therapy is prescribed two weeks after surgery. Our approved physical therapist helps patients regain strength, flexibility, and function.
