ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries are all too often sent for surgery when most have a really good chance of healing 100% naturally.
They can even get back to being active with sports and running if they choose!
In this video, we cover 3 things to check on your knee for an ACL tear, then we explain all the different types of ACL tears and how to begin to treat an ACL injury naturally.
A scary statistic you need to be aware of if you’re planning to get an MRI (or if you already have), is that one study reported over 40% of ACL tears found on an MRI can be wrong!
That means the MRI showed a torn ACL but when the surgeon went in to repair it, there was no tear. It might have healed or it might have never been there...either way the surgery was not needed in those poor patients.
There are endless ACL rehab exercises out there and nothing special about a single one that will help you most. What is most important is getting the right kind of stability so that your ACL can heal.
That’s why we recommend getting a hard hinged knee brace on as soon as possible so that you can give your ACL some relief.

You make me understand what has gone wrong with my knee, and the importance of stabilizing it and keeping muscles strong. Thank you for doing these! I am definitely considering your PT classes…after my MRI.

You just described my pain to the tee.Hurt knee 8 years ago had surgery Dr said I had torn cartilage and that I would probably have to have knee replacement but I refused .About 3 weeks ago of writing this the pain swelling and popping of knee started to lessen with each day .I researched the area of pain and symptoms that I’ve been having.Your website popped up and let me say : You nailed it!Your description of an injured mcl is spot on to what I’ve been experiencing since 2015.Now I know I just wish I would have researched this before .

I had ACL 7 years ago gradual training of legs I have completed 7000 kms of running in last 3 years

I have watched the ever best video on ACL. Thank you very much.

Really appreciate this video while I investigate what happened to my knee recently and how to proceed. Been told I've torn my ACL, but have also been told I dislocated my kneecap?! MRI next week for more clues. I think i have a shot at avoiding surgery based on 4 days of minor improvement. Got my brace for now!

Hello Dr. I sustained an injury from jumping off the top of a car during an accident three years ago. Initially, I visited a hospital where they diagnosed me with a torn ACL and recomended surgery which i didnt take. Despite this, I could bend my knee fully backward without pain, but I couldn't fully stretch it as before. Later, i visited another hospital for a second opion and noted that my walking pattern was almost normal despite the injury, which led them to believe that my ACL was not torn based on the mri result of the previous hospital. They advised me to undergo physiotherapy exercises. This incident happened about three years ago. Since then, I’ve done some light exercises and have been able to run and perform push exercises, but I still can't fully stretch my leg. Last week, I collided with another player while playing football, and it was quite painful. After undergoing an MRI, the hospital confirmed my ACL is torn and suggested surgery. Currently, I can walk without limping as a week has passed since the incident. I'm concerned about making the wrong decision regarding surgery. I am not a professional football player; I play for fun. I am currently in a foreign country with better medical facilities. Today, I came across your video, and I am considering not having surgery based on your advice. Could you please provide your guidance on this matter? Thank you

Thank you Doc i had an injury in my acl partial tear i refuse to get the operation your vlog help me

Im a full time licensed plumber and about 3 years ago i took out my ACL and meniscus this devistated my career but i never gotten the surgery, i still want the surgery but i cant afford it, so im gonna comment what alot of people want to know that the doctors wont tell you, yes after a few months of rehab you will be able to function, but you need to excercise daily or it will buckle on you when you least expect it, its honestly just basic safety stuff that you need to watch out for, ASK for help if you need it, and dont try to be a one man army it wont benefit you at all, but you should be more than capable to do your trades job after 3 months just take your time with it and use your head more than your muscles
