What is the treatment fo a bakers schist?

A baker's cyst, or popliteal cyst, is typically treated through conservative measures such as rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) to reduce swelling. Physical therapy may also be recommended to strengthen the knee and improve range of motion. In some cases, a doctor may recommend aspiration to drain the cyst or corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation. Surgery is usually reserved for persistent or severe cases that do not respond to other treatments.
