Knee | ACL
Introduction
An ACL injury occurs when a particular ligament in the knee is either partially or completely torn, and can occur from sudden stops, twists, or a heavy impact. ACL injuries can cause pain and limit mobility, making it challenging to perform everyday tasks. Our team of expert physiotherapists uses a variety of techniques and technologies to speed up recovery and minimize pain due to the ACL ligament tear.
Symptoms of ACL Injury
- Pain and swelling in the knee
- A ‘popping’ sensation at the time of injury
- Difficulty putting weight on the affected knee
- Instability or ‘giving way’ of the knee
