- Danielle Matias, MMS, PA-C discusses ACL tears and what they can mean for developing long-term instability and degeneration of the knee joint. She also addresses the difference between our clinical approach to partial and full ACL tears. If you have been diagnosed with an ACL tear and trying to avoid surgery or have already had surgery and still having popping/grinding or other knee pain and instability, we'd love to talk about your case and see if we may help you get back to where you want to be.
Our offices specialize in PRP (platelet-rich plasma) Prolotherapy as an alternative to surgery and a way to restore strength and integrity to the important knee ligaments that stabilize our knees. You can learn more about the Prolotherapy, PRP, and stem cell Prolotherapy techniques used at Caring Medical Florida, as well as to fill out a more detailed case intake form and discuss your case privately, directly through our site: www.caringmedical.com/conditi...

I torn my ACL ten years ago. Avoided surgery, rehabbed it myself with light stretching and weight training. Ten years later I can leg press over 500 pounds. It’s possible, the power of the mind is incredible.
Hi Lone2011Wolf, Thanks for sharing your story. Glad you were able to avoid surgery and gain strength to allow you to press over 500 pounds. That's great! Wish you all the best in health.
That's great. What kind of stretches and weight training did you do?
Can you please tell me if you are also able to run?
@@AceGunnerManEIR started off with light leg press and squats. VERY light. Building the muscle compensates for the injury in the long run, in my experience.
@@s.g.2353 Absolutely! Thank God
Full acl tear a little over a year ago. No surgery just physical therapy and the gym. I'm 95 percent my self now.
Are you able to do sharp turns? And what exercises did you do?
Greattttt...Congartulations. Can you please advise how recover and what exercises you did. i have complete ACL and meniscus tear. Thanks.
@@jvvaldivia7831 didn't even see this comment. Yes I can. But I am now 2 years post injury. I go to the gym daily. I still am careful tho if I'm playing a sport.
@@ahsansarfraz7839 give it time to heal. Also are you doing physical therapy?? That has help me out a lot.
Hi what kind of physical therapy?
Helpful thank you Danielle.
I tore my acl of right knee on feb 2020, without surgury, the recovery was long with alot of sessions of physiotherapy. But now, i can do 20kg squats easily with 100-120 reps and a full day of leg. If Surgury is not the option then try to use ur power of the brain to heal things inside ur body
So can you play football naw
Can you please help me out so i have a mri appointment next week for my knee how do you feel when a acl is torn bc on the side of my knee I have a sharp pain and when I walk I keep limping it’s been over a month
What do you mean by power of the brain?
Was it complete ACL tear?
@@n.8690 I think he just means mind over matter. Find the motivation to condition and rehabilitate your knee without the help of surgery.
Hello guys! Awesome channel! I have one important question: Can CCI create ”choking” sensations? Like a feeling of you balancing your head on your throat, if it make sense. If yes, would you please describe why? Thank you!
Hi Elton, Thank you so much for the kind feedback. Yes, we discuss it in more details in this video, czcams.com/video/GR-Q_MgUMXE/video.html
as well as in our vagus nerve webinar series, on our webinar playlist, if you want to get into a lot more detail. Wish you all the best in health!
I was diagnosed with Gullain-Barré syndrome 13 years ago. So can I be given anesthesia for my ACL surgery ?
my mri reports say a high grade tear of femoral attachment and midportion of anterior cruciate ligament, is this a grade 3 type acl tear?
Fell from my bike...
My MRI report shows,
ACL appears avulsed from the proximal attachment and is seen at the intercondylar notch area
Pls suggest me is this partial tear or complete tear of ACL
Thanks ...gave me hope
I have full thickness old acl tear in left knee.
What i have to do please tell?
Terimakasih atas penjelasannya dok
Walaupun saya tdk ngerti tapi itu pasti tentang acl😭
I completely tore my right ACL and Meniscus about 4 years ago. Haven’t gotten surgery (yet) but recently my right knee has been making noises every-time i straighten my leg. Almost feels like my bones are grinding against each other. I feel no pain however sometimes my knee locks and i have to take all weight off my right leg to reset it.
Just came from the ortho and found out I tore my meniscus and acl. I can walk after a month or so after the injury but i cant jog/jump and I feel like my knee is slipping away if i try to run.
@@jerecito6892 same happened to me. Had to take it easy for a few months, couldn’t bend my knee all the way or kneel either. Kept displacing my knee everytime i played basketball. It wasn’t fun
@@mritter3874 mine does the same thing It’s been like 2 years now still does it
@@cadencummings4817 Recently got a lot better after i started working out my legs btw
Hello, I got ACL Surgery now it's lockdown I can't go Out of rehab ...Can u suggest me The cycle Name for exercise....
I would be careful with claims. Not sure there is consensus in the High Quality research surrounding Prolo/PRP injections. Especally with the various cocktails/recepies used across the board.
hey i recently had a left knee injury that i am assuming is ACL related. I’m on day 11 and all symptoms have pretty much completely resided (short ROM, pain, instability, swelling). Although the progress on the healing has slowed down some after a week and now i’m planning on getting an MRI. I can do light leg extensions and walk without a brace . Is this an ACL sprain or tear? And how long would a sprain take to heal? please reply !
Hi northside shorty nick, Sorry to hear about your recent injury. Glad you are looking into some options for how to heal the knee. Ultimately, this would need to be diagnosed by a medical provider in person who can physically examine your knee, compare it to the good knee, do a motion ultrasound of the various ligaments and tendons, watch you walk, discuss your athletic goals and/or other stresses that you put on your joint with work, etc. Then a proper treatment plan can be developed. In our experience, cases of a recent injury usually need around 3-6 Prolotherapy treatments, depending on the extent of the injury and the person's athletic goals. In our office, we only put some emphasis on an MRI. We have some videos on our channel about this and did one recently that you may find helpful: czcams.com/video/FKw5Lgy4ZLI/video.html We wish you all the best in healing! If you feel that you may need our team in the future, or wish to be seen at our diagnostic and treatment center, you are always welcome to reach out to us directly.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy thank you guys very much ! good information i can put to use. i’m putting stress on it more and more, trying to get back to 100% but i will indeed follow up if it doesn’t get better
What is the situation right now plz tell me
@@northsideshortynick9801 How are you know... You do surgery or Not??
My MRI show upper fibre of acl are distruped and replace by irregular STRI hyperintensities suggestive of High grade injury/ ruptured please tell me about it
sorry, this is kind of a personal story but i feel that i need to share my feelings with it... i'm an absolute sports lover; i plan to become a police officer in the future, so i decided to start martial arts two years ago. i got hooked and it was one of my escapes in life.
but i tore my acl a little over a month ago during taekwondo. i was working my very hardest because i really wanted to get better at my 540 kicks, but after landing wrong, thats where my acl tore. i felt really upset about it because my instuctor had really high expectations for me. got an mri two weeks after tearing it and it was thankfully a minor tear.
today is my birthday. my knee was super close to full recovery and i was ecstatic to go back to taekwondo training next week, but during pe in school, i stepped normally and immediately buckled. it was a bit more painful than the first time i had done it.
my mum told me that i will need to quit taekwondo and any other sports, heck, even told me to rethink my dreams of becoming a police officer. i feel horrible.
it's my birthday and i can't understand why this is happening to me. i dont even need surgery because thats what my doctor told me, but i have to give up my passion?? all this hard work for nothing...
Don’t let the things happening bring you down.... you will be okay.. let your body heal and while your body does that make sure to take care of yourself keep weight off it for as long as possible but work it out you will be okay ❤️
having this same issue. I will be praying for you!
Pray your dreams come true
Go for Stem cell therapy . It will heal soon .
I don't know if you will believe me but the exact same thing happend to me, and i also play taekwondo. Martial arts where more than a sport to me it was a place I can really feel like myself, the feeling that I get while playing my sport can't compare to anything in the world. I used to train every day no matter how sore my body was from the intense training I never stopped no matter what weather there was.
All the hard work late nights training strict diets my dream that I was reaching training after training, everything break down in a second leaving me in a chaos that I couldn't leave.
Sport was everything to me everything, I was ready to risk it for it.
Thanks I have watched a lot of your videos I got a question about vagus nerve compression that can give symptoms from the head down to digestion. Is it possible that vagus nerve compression can be caused somewhere else in the body such as along the thoracic spine instead, or from a hiatus hernia?
Or would this lead to different symptoms without the neurological/head symptoms such as photophobia etc..?
Hi Stefan 99, Thanks for the question. Hope you've found the videos helpful so far. Whatever the symptom is, you have probably heard us say in other videos to "follow the neurology." So we would do our best to take into consideration a person's symptoms and history and do the appropriate testing to discover what is happening with the nerves whether in the neck or further down.
Hello I hope you can answer me, 5 months ago I had an accident in gymnastics and my knees were hyperextended, in the right knee I had partial tear of the ACL, I did therapy but the tibia continues to move a little forward, what would you recommend? I am 15 years old and I have just returned to training.
How are you know??
I just I think tore several ligaments. I did a flip on the trampoline and when I landed my knee went straight and lower leg went sideways out from under me. I’m freaking out. I am on crutches and with a brace. I’ve got a 4 month old baby and 2.5 year old toddler and I can’t properly take care of them because I can’t walk. Hubs goes back to work tomorrow 😭
About twenty five years ago, I fell on the on the ground and received a severe internal injury on my my left knee. I consulted many doctors. They prescribed pain killers and gels but a little betterment in pain. So, I decided to do MRI by myself which showed fanning of the fibres of ACL of left knee. Moderate sprain and partial tear in ACL. I can walk easily but I cannot run. What will be its treatment?
Same issue I'm Facing Now
I'm having same here...I can work properly but I can't run
I had a bad knee injury as a teen. Was never taken to the docs to have it seen to. Fast forward 15 years and my knee is giving me issues. Fluid on my knee, I see my doc, he refers me to the hospital thinking I have a blood clot. Long story short, no blood clot but X-rays and mri revealed tons of scar tissue in my knee. A doc sees me hours later and tell me that I had a severe knee injury and asked me how it happened. I told him and he was really shocked that my injury wasn’t seen to. He said he would clean it out and repair what he could, and told me that my knee cap was misaligned from the injury. He said I had torn my acl and the meniscus. He also said that he may do a full knee reconstruction once he was in there. Well life happened and I never got it done. I still have knee issues. I can’t walk properly, and pain stops me in my tracks sometimes, I figure it’s scar tissue getting in the way, so I kick my leg and stretch my knee at the same time over and over so I can put weight back on it. I am a prime example of why you should seek help after a knee injury.
That's my story I injured mines from dancing when I was in my early twenty's never thought nothing of it was in alot of pain and couldn't walk on my foot for a month fast forward am 30 a mom of a toddler already have complex regional pain syndrome of my left hand now my knee is acting up and won't stop 😢 got the results from my mri
1. Undersurface tear of medial meniscal posterior horn, medial meniscal posterior horn vertical longitudinal tear/ramp lesion.
2. ACL grade 2 sprain with proximal insertional low-grade partial tear.
3. PCL buckling with sprain.
4. Tendinopathy of quadriceps tendon and patellar tendon.
5. Tenosynovitis and tendinopathy of popliteus.
6. Moderate lateral subluxation and lateral tilting of patella, small patellofemoral joint effusion.
7. Proximal insertional tendinitis of medial and lateral head of gastrocnemius.
That's what going on with my right knee I did the shot in my knee and going for therapy have to wear a knee patella stablizer with lateral j straps brace
@@lotoyalayne I hope your injury is finally repaired to the point of being able to walk properly.
My son has a grade 3 tear and an athlete. Do you think autograft surgery is needed in order for him to pivot or him rehabbing over the next 9 months can we repair and strengthen his ligaments naturally and get the same or better results??? Surgery is in a few days and I keep getting a second thought for no surgery although we have had 3 opinions.
from talkin to my daughter's doctor, fastest way to get kids back in playing sports is surgery. Doing long term rehab instead of surgery is for older folks usuallly
Watching this videos stresses me. I don't know what I need to do. Loss the ability to play my favorite sport. Without any rehab? Can I do some light walking? I am really overweight for my age.
I have tear problem form ACL cartilage from 3 months when I avoid surgery .Iam a sports person when how can we recover ACL pain please help me .when I need which tablets and exercise
Three weeks back, I got high grade acl tear with complete disruption at the femoral attachment. Is surgery necessary in my case? I don’t do sports but my work demands a lot of walking and standing.
Hi Sujata Adhikari, Sorry to hear about your recent knee injury. Please talk with your doctor who ordered the test so they can make a recommendation. If you are looking for a non-surgical opinion as well, perhaps you can find a prolotherapist near you to also discuss possible regenerative options and if that would be appropriate for your case. Ultimately, the provider who sees you would need to do an exam and make a determination about surgery vs any other treatment. If you are in Florida and would like our team to help you, we'd be happy to. Wishing you all the best in a speedy recovery!
Yes ma'am u are not playing any game no need to surgery but what is ur job ??
I also got because I was playing
sujata tomar number ta dao
thank you
Hello Dr. I watched your video and I felt bit stronger. I am facing similar situation right now. I am sharing my problem to you. Please help me.
On 4th July 2023, I met with an accident while I was riding my bike, going to work. The MRI observations are as follows -
1. There is fracture reaching upto the articular surface seen in lateral tibial condyle with surrounding marrow edema and contusions.
2. There is subchondral fracture with cortical buckling and ill-defined marrow edema and contusions seen at mid aspect of the lateral femoral condyle.
3. Ill-defined areas of marrow edema and contusions are seen in medial femoral and tibial condyles.
4. Fracture with marrow edema and contusions seen in proximal fibula.
5. High grade partial thickness tear of ACL noted.
6. Gross joint effusion with myofascial thickening and edema noted.
7. Grade 3 tear in posterior horn of lateral meniscus reaching upto tibial articular surface.
I consulted doctors, some told me to take rest for 45 days after that we will go for surgery, some told me that we can go for surgery now.
I didn't went for surgery till date. Right know, I am using a knee brace, which keeps my leg straight. I use this brace for around 23 hours daily. I am not bending my leg when I use brace. I walk around 100 mtrs using a stick. I can stand without support, can walk without support. I don't want to go for a surgery.
My question is- Can it be healed naturally? If not then, instead of going for a surgery can I use knee brace as a solution for walking?
I tore my knee last September then rested from sport until January until I tried again.. once I tried again my knee completely gave way and I haven’t been able to do sport since then. I have to wait months for a scan and potential surgery. Any chance I can recover without surgery?
How is you knee now?? Please update..
I had an injury when I was on 17. Years. Same day it got brusided and I was unable to walk properly. After 2 3 days everything went back to normal. But when I start to play or sudden change of direction or when you jumb from little high place my knees gets hurting again Ang again. Some popping noice and that moment I can't stretch my legs fully. So I have to to bend my knees back to buttock to make it to normal position. This is happening in my life from last 14 years now. I really want to play and run, because of this I have controlled my movements to get injured. I m really worried now will it be successful doing the surgery after 14 years ? Or anyother option other than surgery ? Because I can now walk/jog freely that also will not be able to do after surgery I m afraid.
So my child is where you were at now. He can jog and run but can not cut or pivot. The same way you described the “Pop” we would buckle and could only lift his leg towards his butt halfway and pain would set in. Although I keep wanting to go natural with herbs, supplements, exercise and rehab for him but I think if his future. Go with your gut. Best of luck!
Recently had an MRI on my left and right knee. This was the diagnosis. What does these results mean in laymen terms: MRI R knee :
Impression:
1. Large 10 mm grade 3 cartilage defect of the median patellar
ridge with adjacent delamination type cartilage injury. 2.
Slight lateral patellar tilt.
MRI L knee :
Impression:
1. Tiny grade 2 cartilage defect of the weightbearing medial
femoral condyle. 2. Slight lateral patellar tilt.
Hi A LaSelle, Thanks for sharing. Hopefully whoever ordered the MRI for you can better explain what they feel the treatment options are for you. There is only so much weight we put in MRI findings as they are usually used to determine if a surgery is warranted, and have a high false positive and false negative rate. However, we do treat patients with cartilage tears. In our center, we help patients who want to avoid surgery, and we get more information by moving the joint under ultrasound and through physical examination, and work on a plan to help them attain their functional goals and restore joint stability. We talk more about that in these videos:

I have grade 3 ACL tear... Is it need surgery madam?
I have a high grade ACL tear. About 5-6 months have passed and although swelling has been reduced but there is still limited leg motion and also painful. What do you suggest surgery or physiotherapy?
We would recommend getting an exam before making a decision, Prolotherapy can be a great alternative to surgery however we cannot diagnosis anything or determine a treatment plan without first examining the injury ourselves.
U didnt reply to my comment at ur recently uploaded 2nd video and i hv been suffering after a whiplash and doctors here in India has no answer about my condition.

Hey am Jerome I torn my ACL completely, doctor ask me to do surgery but I don't want to ... can I play soccer again or any hard work without surgery?
It will take 7months or year to get back strong to play
I have grade 3 complete tear acl ligament for almost 3 years, still i can walk
There's no such complications to the knee , now after 3 years again i went for MRI the results shows the same grade 3 complete tear ligament.. But no damage to the menisus
Still am thinking of the surgery?? Its needed or not??
Start with physio and see if it recovers. :)))) Best of luck!!! Lots of love and positive energy
Do you play sports? If it stays torn it will likely limit the types of activities you do but if you’re not very active then I’m guessing it’s ok
That ligament cannot grow back so you'll always have a torn one. There are olympic athletes who've avoided surgery by building up all the surrounding muscles to help overcompensate for the knee instability during high levels of activity, but they're olympic level athletes who didn't want down time and already have the training plan and body to pull this off. I tore mine a month ago along with the MCL and plan on getting surgery in January. I'm not an tense athlete that will likely be able to work around an ACL and would rather fix it and work back to my previous abilities so that I can keep backpacking, rock climbing, and cycling.
I have a complete acl tear. Can stem cell therapy be an alternative or is surgery required?
Hi Austin Celestine, Prolotherapy cannot attach two completely severed ends together. When there is still some tissue attached, it may be an option. However, Prolotherapy is often used in cases after ACL reconstruction because the force required to tear a ligament means that surrounding ligaments also become overstretched. So, a practice like ours sees patients after their surgery to help strengthen the other supportive structures as well as the ACL attachments if a person is still having pain and instability after being cleared by their surgeon. Wish you all the best with your knee recovery. If you feel that you would like our team to review your case and possibly help you here, you are always welcome to reach out to us directly. Take care.

Ten years ago I was squatting like a catcher and all of a sudden, my knee felt hot and swollen. Next couple of weeks were the same.
Today, I squat like a catcher and after about a minute, when I stand up, the inside of my knee hurts and I can’t straighten it until walk it off. After 15 seconds of walking around I’m back to normal. No pain or anything while walking, running or cycling.
You think my ACL is damaged?
Torn meniscus?
When I stand up I feel pain like something is pinched
Sounds like there is definitely instability - the knee is a very common area that we treat in our office, we would love to help you on your road to healing! Please reach out to our office directly and someone from our clinical team can help get you scheduled :)

My MRI after 1.5 years of injury:
I have partial low grade tear of ACL with less 50% fibre loss
Grade III longitudinal tear of posterior horn of lateral meniscus
Partial tear of fibular collateral ligament

Hi Turbo Jrx, Sorry to hear about your torn ACL and recent knee injury. As you will hear us discuss in our webinars and videos, pain and ligament injuries are progressive disorders, which is why we take a regenerative approach with treatments like Prolotherapy to address the damaged/weakened/torn ligaments. We help many athletes stay in their sports and avoid surgery. If you feel that you would like our team to possibly help you in our center, you are welcome to reach out to us anytime. We wish you all the best at making a full recovery!

You recovered?
I've had 3 ACL tears in the same knee. I had the first 2 fixed and left the last one torn. It's been 6 years since my last tear and my knee does just fine. I've been skiing, play golf, softball, and go to the gym 4 days a week. My hamstring does seem MUCH bigger on my injured knee than my healthy knee though. Can you talk about that please?
ACL stabilizes the knee. Muscles in injured knee probably grew to help it be more stable due to lack of an acl.
Hi I had right knee ACL fully tear after medical leave start work I have decided not to go surgery but now I stress since all my office staff advised to do Opss . I can’t decide pls advise how to overcome this without surgery
Hello - so sorry to hear that you had a full tear, the thing with instability is it is degenerative meaning it will only continue to worsen over time if nothing is done about it. Now surgery is not always an option but for healing to occur regeneration needs to happen and we would love to help you! Please reach out to our office directly and someone from our clinical team can learn more about your case

Hi sir
Hello are you guys able to help with tinnitus?
Hi Cyrus MUFC, Thanks for the question. Yes, tinnitus is one of the more common symptoms associated with cervical spine instability which we specialize in treating. We have some other videos and webinars that go into a lot more detail regarding treating cervical instability on our channel you may want to check out. Wish you all the best!
Yikes! I had a knee injury last year, and it was very bad. My whole leg twisted and it hurt like crazy. The next day my knee swelled like a grapefruit and was sentsitive to touch. I couldn't walk or put pressure on that leg. Eventually it "healed" and I began walking again. I thought it must've been a meniscus tear... I never got it checked out due to no insurance. Now seeing this, I think I probably tore a ligament.
how long did u take to walk without any support ? plz say
@@victoreugene8310 Great question. I could hardly walk. It seemed my knee had little support and might buckle. There was a squooshy sensation in the knee. So I didn't walk about a week. I limped when I did walk and put weight on the other leg.
@@dxk2007 I think I have a tear or hospital checked x-rays said it could be my acl also. I hurt myself at the gym. But I don't have health insurance so now not sure
How to get to the Floor and Back Up after complete ACL tear without surgery
Unfortunately we cannot make tendons and ligaments out of nothing. If there is complete bone on bone or a total tear Prolotherapy is not always an option.
Can partial acl tear treat with prp?If can,how many prp shot will inject tear area?
Hi Taming Sari, We use PRP along with dextrose Prolotherapy in our cases, because just a shot of PRP is not addressing the area in a comprehensive way. If you see our treatment example videos or read more about comprehensive Prolotherapy on our site, we explain more about treating the joint comprehensively vs. just one shot of PRP or stem cells. Any force strong enough to tear a ligament will usually do at least some damage to the other ligaments that stabilize the joint and these can be identified during physical exam and stressing the joint under ultrasound which mimics more of the real-life forces on a joint vs. an MRI when a person is laying flat with no force on the joint. In our office, most patients need around 4-6 treatments, each treatment may consist of 20-30 injections. Take care.

Better to do the surgery

I have ACL grade 1 injury but my knee is unstable
You recovered?
3 and a half years ago, I suffered an ACL tear. My doctor said at 47 I was not a candidate for surgery. To just wear braces. I did not realize I had to wear braces for ever. I was suffering knee instability without knowing it. I now suffer from cartilage degeneration. I suffer daily pain. I cant walk stairs. I have had to reduce my work hours to the point I am in poverty now. I suffer daily because I did not have a long term plan for healing, for not understanding the dangers of knee instability
Hi Lucy, Thank you for sharing your experience and you have touched on such an important point about not being given a long-term plan for healing and the devastating effects that can have. We're so sorry to learn that is something you experienced first-hand. We have seen this in patients who come to us many years or even decades after an injury in similar situations, having suffered for so long. Hang in there, Lucy! Perhaps you can find a Prolotherapy provider to help you close to home. We wish you all the best in healing and finding the best options for you at this point to help you relieve pain and regain your mobility.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy Thank you . I am looking into selling my home, or taking money from my 401K to make a trip to see you'
Turn to ALLAH for solutions . It says in the quran that after every hardship there is ease . Also that ALLAH hears and see all . Why dont you ask GOD , ALLAH to heal you my dear brother .
I have a knee injury too Alhamdu lil lah . But i ask ALLAH for help and recovery since ALLAH Is the best of planners and best of healers .
I have torn my ACL on 1/10/20 it has been 6 months. And I feel little bit of instability. Maam should I go for the surgery or should I wait for it to heal. Bcoz I'm really scared.
Is it gonna effect me in the future like when I'm 40+.
Bcoz I'm from a poor family and I'm not affordable for surgery so...
Can u please help me out with replying my message
Hi REVANTH LUCKY, Sorry about your ACL tear. As you'll see in our videos, our approach is to try and help patients avoid surgery unless absolutely necessary as we do see that surgeries make the joint more unstable and often lead to arthritis faster. Maybe you can find a Prolotherapist closer to your home who can assess your case and see if they might be able to help you avoid surgery. Wish you all the best in health!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy thank you so much ma'am ❤️

@@BITZBRAKE7 bro I'm so worrying
How much is acl surgery? I can't get on Medicaid or be on disability. Nobody hires me now because I'm a liability 😥
Hi yo you, Sorry to hear you are in a really tough spot right now. We know knee surgery tends to be in the tens of thousands, and the prices vary greatly depending on where the surgery is performed. Our non-surgical Prolotherapy treatments tend to be considerably less, in the hundreds to a few thousand, depending on the area of the body being treated and the solutions used. Our prices are always posted on our website as we are outside of all insurance networks and like to have transparency in the treatment prices so people know what to expect. Our team always walks through this with patients as well once we know more about the person's specific medical case and know what would be recommended. If you feel that you'd like our help on your case now or in the future, please reach out to us directly. We wish you all the best and that you will come out of this tough time stronger and get the help and healing you need. Take care.
I have a partial acl tear...can it repair on its own without surgery ??
Nope...ACL never heals on its own, you have to strengthen your leg muscles and compensate if you want to walk without surgery
What about legament sprains@@SuyashPandeyShubh
@@unknown8946 Bro, I would like to contradict my previous comment, recent studies are showing partial tears of ligaments can heal and repair over months if not injured again. Just take care of your knees and do consult a doc if there's a complete tear.
@@SuyashPandeyShubh i have grade 2 sprain in acl and grade 2_3 sprain in mcl and miniscus grade 2 tear in medial meniscus the injury was from motor cycle accident..just few minutes post the accident i found my leg buckling inside to medial side but after 3 days of bracing and treatment i was ok with my legs ..it is 1 month post the injury and rehab i can walk doctors said it will be ok within couple of months..i am confused what to opt or should i wait for natural healing process of body...idk know that are sprains and tear same in meaning i am confused
@@unknown8946 meniscus is a cushion in the joint meant for smooth bending of knees and acts as a shock absorber. Three things I can advice you to do:
1) After you feel your knee pain is gone, start working on gaining full mobility of knee. Sit on a chair (towards the end) and strech your leg outwards straight and pull your foot inwards so that you feel the strech in your joint. Slowly repeat the process for a 10-15 times and gently put down your knee (you can watch youtube for knee streching exercises)
2) Don't get involved into running and sports activity even if you feel you are completely fine. Avoid squatting for some months post injury.
3) Take equal quantities cudappah almond, white sesame seeds and wallnut, mix them in a jar and make a fine powder. Consume 1 tsp daily with a cup of milk(twice a day). This was recommended to me by my physio. This will immensely help you provide the necessary fluids in your joint.
Take care of your joint, even if the doctors say you would be fine in two months dont fall into that trap. Few docs said the same to me and I returned to sports and again and again ruptured my knee. After you are okay, for strengthening your knee you can simply try standing and balancing on just on your injured leg with the other bent up from ground (foot of which should be resting on the inner side of your injured knee) for a few seconds.
Where's the positivity here. I am going naturally
How’s it been? Any advice?
How was your natural healing

@@Devesh_26_ still healing
Lol I need some positivity! I was planning on repairing mine last year but my surgery was canceled due to covid. Now I don’t want to re injure myself to repair it 😭
Advice for anyone watching- don’t ski
I tore my ACL in a cycling accident in1993. In 2010 while jumping from ground to a wall there was a light snapping sound and intense pain I can't describe. For a month I couldn't straighten my knee. Slowly it healed but still I can't jump on thT knee because there is a slight pain and I know I can't stress it much again. Should I undergo surgery?
Hi Natehc Kian, Thanks for sharing and so sorry to hear about your injury and the limits it has put on you for the last decade. As we discuss often on our channel, our clinic helps patients avoid surgery but ,of course, there are times when surgery is needed. In order to know what is best for an individual, we would need to do a proper physical exam, ultrasound, and more thorough case assessment. If you would like help on your case to get you more stability in your knee, relieve pain, and get back more function, we'd be happy to talk with you in more detail about your case. We wish you all the best in healing!

Hey I have an intrasubstantial acl tear

It has been 68 days since the injury
2)Will therapy every fully heal it?
3)If i do reconstruction will it got back to normal like it was before the tear?
Hi Tanzim, Thank you for sharing and we're sorry to learn about your tear and glad you are looking into multiple options to consider so you can stay safely active in sports. We help many athletes avoid surgery with Prolotherapy, including with PRP, as well as be able to continue to be active while undergoing the treatment series. Ultimately, like with any medical treatment, it cannot be determined if someone needs surgery without being able to physically see and move their joint and do a proper physical exam and case review to best understand the patient and determine how to get them to their goals. If you feel that you would like our team to see you here, we would be happy to help and you're welcome to reach out to us directly. We wish you all the best in healing and making a full recovery so you can continue to be active in athletics!

i torn my acl two years ago playing football.. i got an MRI and they told my my acl is torn and i needed surgery.
then i went to a sport therapist and he examined me and told i don't have tear and he could help me play football again within a month and I didn't believe him..at this time i play some football but very carefully and i also do weightlifting with heavy squat and leg press.does that mean I don't need surgery.
If it were me I'd get a second opinion.
Hi Tayf Alsawad, Sorry to hear about your football injury. It is common that an MRI will find something that could qualify someone for surgery but it doesn't necessarily mean that it requires surgery. As a Prolotherapy office, we are helping patients all the time who are in similar scenarios to avoid surgery and treat the tear non-surgically with Prolotherapy as well as stabilize the other lax ligaments around the joint, so they can return to full athletic function. It is case by case, and if you wanted our team to review your case and possibly see you here, we're happy to review your case. Wish you all the best in making a full recovery!

Hi Bharath .t - Sorry about your ACL tear. Yes, if you want our thoughts on these cases, it is explained in the video in more detail.
Yeah they should have fixed that in 76 when they found out that I had not had the acl sense high school footbal injury in 72 during a mucusectumy 76 ( medial?) In the military !
Infantry EIB, timber beast /wildland firefighter, surveyor ( head chainman ( they probably don't have that now )) biker ( real not gangster ) '! It's still not there ! And it is trashed ! Still 2.5 mph walking ! But I have to think about each step to keep it from going out ! Had a broken tibial plateau 6 yrs ago ( deer tried to kill me on my motorcycle ) when it healed ( well mostly ) the pain I had had sense high school was gone ( still get what you might call normal pain if I over do it ) ! 66 2021 still riding ( not a gangster )!
Hi Dale, Thanks for sharing. You have had a lot of trauma to your knee, it sounds like. Glad you are still out riding and not letting it get you down or stop you. If you are looking for help stabilizing it, we'd be happy to review your case and potentially see you here. Again, appreciate you sharing and wish you all the best in health!
The acl does not heal it requires surgery and if it’s a partial tear it still does no heal , there is not blood supply what they do is they refer you to PT which they try to strengthen the muscle around the knee which eventually will tear if you are physically active so overall you need surgery!
if you're an athlete, no it's not possible to avoid surgery.
Not true - we have had an abundance of athletes come into our office as an alternative to surgery!
Acl surgery failed 20 years ago apart from running and sports and do everything else with no osteoarthritis its a myth which is sold by so xalled experts
