Frozen Shoulder Treatment

ACL Tear

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a ligament in the knee joint that helps stabilize the knee. A tear in the ACL can cause pain and instability in the knee.

Symptoms

  1. Pain and swelling in the knee
  2. Instability or a feeling of giving way in the knee
  3. Limited range of motion in the knee
  4. A popping sound or sensation at the time of injury

Causes

  1. Sudden twisting or hyperextension of the knee joint
  2. Direct impact to the knee, such as from a fall or collision
  3. Overuse or repetitive stress on the knee joint

Diagnosis

  1. Physical exam and medical history
  2. Imaging tests such as X-rays and MRIs to assess the severity of the injury

Treatment

  1. Pulsed Signal Repair Therapy helps to improve cellular function and promote healing in the body. It stimulates cellular metabolism and increases circulation, which can help to reduce pain and inflammation, improve tissue repair, and promote overall healing.
  2. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy: ESWT is a noninvasive medical treatment that uses shockwaves that are high-energy sound waves directed at the affected area, stimulating healing and reducing pain.
  3. Rest and avoiding activities that aggravate the injury
  4. Physical therapy to stretch and strengthen the affected area
  5. Using a brace or crutches to support and stabilize the knee
  6. Surgery to repair or reconstruct the damaged ACL, but this is typically a last resort

Prevention is key in managing ACL injuries. Proper stretching and warm-up techniques before exercise or physical activity can help prevent the injury. Strengthening the muscles around the knee joint can also help prevent ACL injuries. Using proper form during physical activity and taking breaks during repetitive activities can also help prevent ACL injuries.
