ACL Injury Treatment

The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is a key ligament in the middle of the knee that controls forward movement and twisting. It is usually injured in sport when landing, stopping or changing direction, often with a pop and quick swelling.

Not always. It depends on your age, activity level, sport and whether the knee keeps giving way. Some people do well with structured rehab alone; others, especially those returning to pivoting sports, may need reconstruction. An orthopaedic surgeon makes that decision with you, and we work alongside them.

ACL rehab is measured in months, not weeks. Return to pivoting sport after reconstruction is guided by strength and movement tests rather than the calendar alone, and commonly takes the better part of a year.

Usually, yes. Settling swelling, getting the knee fully straight and building strength before surgery tends to make recovery afterwards smoother.

You can book directly — no referral is needed. A physiotherapist assesses how the problem behaves and treats it with hands-on therapy and exercise. If anything in your assessment suggests you need scans, medication or a specialist's opinion, we tell you and refer you to the right doctor.

Your first visit is a ₹500 assessment at our C-Scheme clinic; treatment sessions start at ₹600. How many sessions you need depends on what we find — we give you a clear plan and estimate at the first visit, so there are no surprises.
