ACL Injury Treatment

The ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) is a key stabilizer in the knee. It commonly tears during sports involving sudden stops, direction changes, or landing from jumps. You may hear a 'pop' followed by immediate swelling and the knee feeling unstable.

Partial ACL tears and some complete tears in less active individuals can be managed without surgery through intensive physiotherapy. The decision depends on your activity level, knee stability, and whether you have associated injuries like meniscus tears. We help you make an informed decision.

Non-surgical ACL rehabilitation takes 3-6 months to return to full activity. Post-surgical ACL rehab typically takes 9-12 months before return to competitive sports. Both require dedicated physiotherapy — the quality of rehab is the biggest factor in long-term outcome.

Return to sports requires meeting specific strength, balance, and confidence criteria — not just time. We use objective tests (hop tests, strength testing) to determine readiness. Returning too early significantly increases re-injury risk.

ACL prevention programs focusing on landing mechanics, hip and core strength, and balance training reduce ACL injury risk by 50-70%. This is especially important for cricket, football, and badminton players. We offer sport-specific prevention programs.

Sessions start from ₹500. Most cases improve significantly within 4–6 sessions; long-standing or complex cases may need more. We create phased treatment plans with clear milestones and costs for each phase.
