An ACL sprain is an injury in which the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears or stretches beyond its normal range of motion. This can occur during any activity that causes a sudden twist, pivot, or change in direction of the knee joint.
Symptoms of an ACL sprain may include swelling and pain in the knee, instability and a feeling of “giving way” when attempting to move the injured knee, and occasionally signs of neurological damage such as tingling or numbness. While rest, ice, compression and elevation are common methods for treating ACL sprains, medical attention should also be sought to properly assess the severity of the injury. Depending on the extent of the tear, more serious treatments may involve physical therapy to regain mobility or even surgery to repair the damaged ligament.
Treating an ACL sprain requires a lot of patience and hard work. Generally speaking, a chiropractor should be your first stop to assess the extent of the injury and provide strategies for rehabilitation. Physiotherapy is crucial in order to rebuild strength and functionality in the knee joint and surrounding muscles. Massage therapy sessions can help reduce swelling, relieve pain, promote healing, and improve mobility. Of course, your chiropractor or physiotherapist can customize these treatments according to your unique needs so that you can be sure you’re getting the most benefit from each session. With dedication and commitment to treatment, it is possible to regain full use of your leg after an ACL sprain.

I have been receiving treatment from Dr. Webster for a few months and I've been feeling much better. I had sever knee, shoulder and back pain. I couldn't squat or do push ups without my joints screaming at me. But now I'm not able to only do all those but also feel stronger. The most important piece is that she listened and took my history of many injuries into consideration. And as a dancer, I couldn't have asked for a better chiropractor who not only helped me feel better but also understood my needs.
I also brought my grandmother to Dr. Torreiter for her back pain for acupuncture. He was extremely kind, understanding, compassionate and everything that I could ask for. He made her feel comfortable and explained every step during each treatment. He made sure that she was well taken care of and also made other important referrals that lead to her recovery.
So far I have referred my whole family to these two wonderful individuals and everyone's experience has been equally great. Thanks to them we all are doing much better!
