ACL & MCL Injuries

Personalized knee injury rehabilitation to help you return stronger and more confident.

Body Balance Physical Therapy provides focused care for ACL and MCL injuries, with treatment built around your knee, your goals, and the activities that matter to you.

Dealing with an ACL or MCL Injury?

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) are crucial for knee stability and movement. ACL injuries often occur during activities involving sudden stops, jumps, or changes in direction. MCL injuries usually result from a forceful blow to the outer side of the knee.

Common symptoms include pain, swelling, instability, and difficulty bearing weight on the affected leg. A proper diagnosis—typically involving a physical examination and imaging such as MRI—is important for understanding the nature and severity of the injury and determining the best treatment approach.

Early intervention is important for an optimal recovery and to help minimize the risk of long-term complications. Body Balance is here to help you move forward with an individualized rehabilitation plan.
