The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is part of the knee joint and if harshly twisted in the wrong way can be injured or torn. Athletes, particularly those who participate in sports such as gymnastics, football, soccer, tennis, or downhill skiing are at higher risk for ACL tears. These, and other sports, that require sudden stops and pivots in direction, increase the risk for twisting the knee and sustaining an ACL injury.
Injury or tears to the ACL can be debilitating and painful. Those suffering from ACL injury and tears report severe pain, swelling, instability when trying to bear weight, and a decreased range of motion. Fortunately, our Progressive Medical Fitness physical therapy team can help relieve the pain and limited mobility that are symptoms of your ACL injury.
