How Can Horizontal Lateral Meniscus Tear Be Treated Without Surgery?

In MRI scan they discovered that I have a horizontal lateral meniscus tear. Will the ultrasound treatments and a brace help me avoid surgery? I am also considering other treatments such as accupuncture and prolotherapy. I just am not sure where I should spend the money before to avoid surgery.
