ACL Tear
From Setback to Comeback
The world of athletics thrives on agility, speed, and quick pivots. Your Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), nestled in your knee, plays a pivotal role in supporting these movements. But an ACL tear? That can be a game-changer. With Austin Manual Therapy at your side, though, you’re not just recovering; you’re charting a phenomenal comeback.
Understanding How the ACL Can Tear
The ACL is one of the major ligaments in the knee, stabilizing its movements. Tears can occur when the knee twists suddenly, often during rapid direction changes or when landing from a jump. Whether it’s a partial or complete tear, the repercussions can be significantly felt.
Signs of an ACL Tear
- A loud "pop" sound at the time of injury
- Swelling of the knee within a few hours
- Pain, especially when putting weight on the injured leg
- Limited range of motion in the knee
- Feeling of instability or "giving way" with weight bearing
