ACL injuries occur in sports which involve pivoting and sudden deceleration. They are rarely an isolated injury commonly in combination with a meniscal tear or/and injury to the MCL. The injury rate for a female athlete is between 4 and 9 times higher than a male athlete in a similar activity. Recovery can be between 9 to 12 months if surgery is required with focus on strength, proprioception, and balance work. We can work with you towards your goal of recovery whether it’s to get you back to normal activities of daily living or return to sport preventing reinjury.
