What is the alternative to operation on muscle tear?

PT: It depends on the severity and location of the tear. Physical therapy can be a viable alternative to surgery. In addition, a local steroid injection may reduce inflammation further allowing your muscle to heal. Be sure to see a doc to see if you are a candidate for pt.

Prolotherapy: Though controversial to some doctors, and elective to insurance companies, some people and their physicians swear by injections to muscle tears using inflammation-triggering agents to promote a healing specified scarring response. Prolotherapy and related sclerotherapy techniques include plasma-rich platelet injections. Musculoskeletal ultrasound can help target injection sites specifically.
