What is the treatment for a torn bicep?

Answer by  gwizzy2009 (204)

If your bicep is actually torn, and not just strained or pulled, the only treatment is surgery. The doctor will need to reattach the two parts of the muscle so it will heal.

If you think you have a torn bicep, see a doctor as soon as possible. Torn biceps can sometimes require surgery, and a delay in treatment can cause permanent damage.

You should first stop whatever activity you have been doing and rest. You should put an ice pack on the affected area, and elevate the affected area above the heart to slow the amount of blood flowing to the area. This will help prevent a build up of blood in the bicep.
