Treatment for ACL and PCL problems in the short-term will aim to manage pain levels, regain flexibility of the knee and encourage the healing of the damaged ligament and other soft tissues as much as possible. This is likely to include hands-on treatment, ultrasound therapy, kinesio-taping, acupuncture and advice on exercises to encourage movement and gentle weight-bearing of the knee.
In the longer term, the treatment and management of ACL and PCL injuries will be more focussed on a guided exercise plan in order to regain the stability, strength and control of the knee.
In order to determine the extent of injury to your ACL or PCL an MRI scan may be required. This may be sought through your GP or, alternatively, we can refer you for a private scan. Also, for serious tears or ruptures, we may need to refer you on to an orthopaedic specialist for further advice.
