A torn ACL is one of the most common injuries seen in high impact sports and activities like soccer, football, basketball, and skiing. Therefore, it is no surprise that we often hear of athletes who must spend up to a year on the sidelines due to a ruptured ACL.

The anterior cruciate ligament, or the ACL, is one of the most important ligaments in the knee. It helps keep the knee from gliding anteriorly. However, when this ligament tears, the stability of the knee is damaged.

If you are suffering from an ACL tear, then you are not alone. About 200,000 people go through ACL reconstruction every year in the United States. Surgery is a common treatment for an ACL tear, but you may be able to heal your ACL injury with non-surgical treatment.
