Do knee braces help torn meniscus?

Do knee braces help torn meniscus?

Will a knee brace help a torn meniscus? Yes. Although knee braces do not heal or treat your meniscus tear directly, they can provide extra support and stability for your knee while your meniscus injury heals. A good brace will protect your knee and take the pressure off your meniscus, allowing it to rest.

How can I heal my torn meniscus faster?

To speed the recovery, you can:

  1. Rest the knee.
  2. Ice your knee to reduce pain and swelling.
  3. Compress your knee.
  4. Elevate your knee with a pillow under your heel when you’re sitting or lying down.
  5. Take anti-inflammatory medications.
  6. Use stretching and strengthening exercises to help reduce stress to your knee.

How long does it take for a meniscus tear to heal without surgery?

Meniscus tears are the most frequently treated knee injuries. Recovery will take about 6 to 8 weeks if your meniscus tear is treated conservatively, without surgery. If your symptoms persist after 3 months or your symptoms become significant, your doctor may recommend surgery to repair the tear.
