Understanding Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries

An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury can occur due to a sudden twist, hyperextension, or direct impact to the knee. It is one of the most common knee injuries, especially among athletes involved in sports that require quick changes in direction, such as soccer, basketball, and skiing.

An ACL injury can cause significant pain, swelling, and instability in the affected knee. It can severely limit one's mobility and ability to perform daily activities.

Specialized Geriatric and Aging Care for ACL Injuries

Regency Square Care Center specializes in providing comprehensive and tailored care for individuals with ACL injuries, particularly focused on the unique needs of geriatric and aging patients.

Our team of experienced healthcare professionals understands the impact an ACL injury can have on an individual's overall well-being. We prioritize a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, combining medical expertise, rehabilitative therapies, and personalized care plans to optimize recovery and enhance quality of life.

Treatment Options for ACL Injuries

At Regency Square Care Center, we offer a wide range of treatment options to address ACL injuries, including:

  • Non-Surgical Approaches: Depending on the severity of the injury and the individual's overall health, non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, bracing, and medication may be recommended to manage pain, reduce inflammation, and restore knee strength and function.
  • Surgical Intervention: In cases where non-surgical treatments are insufficient or if the ACL injury is severe, surgical intervention may be necessary. Our skilled orthopedic surgeons utilize advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to perform ACL reconstruction surgeries, aiming to restore stability and functionality to the knee joint.

Comprehensive Rehabilitation Services

Following an ACL injury and any necessary surgery, comprehensive rehabilitation is vital for optimal recovery. Regency Square Care Center offers a wide range of rehabilitation services tailored to individual needs, including:

  • Physical Therapy: Our highly-trained physical therapists design personalized exercise programs to strengthen the knee, improve flexibility, and enhance overall mobility. They also focus on pain management techniques and educate patients on proper body mechanics to prevent reinjury.
  • Occupational Therapy: Our occupational therapists help individuals regain independence in performing daily activities by focusing on functional skills, adaptive techniques, and ergonomics. They work closely with patients to improve their ability to participate in self-care, work, and leisure activities.
