Getting better after ACL surgery takes time and patience. Fortunately, our Physical Rehabilitation staff can help you get back to the sports you love. Physical Therapist Brian Lease, our Rehabilitative Services Manager, describes the healing process so you know what to expect.
If you hear or feel a “pop” in your knee as you are jumping or pivoting, you may have sustained an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This is a serious injury so you’ll want to see a doctor right away.
An injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) typically is a season-ending injury for most athletes. This important knee stabilizer helps us jump, cut and pivot. Unsurprisingly, basketball, soccer, football, gymnastics and skiing are high-risk sports for ACL injury.
Summer is here, and with it, the urge to jump on a bike or throw the ball around. Exercise is beneficial to your health – but can cause injuries too. Taking care of your joints and muscles when you’re in action will help you stay active for a long time to come.
