Ligament injuries today may frequently be addressed with treatment. Partially torn Achilles tendons, rotator cuffs and anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) in the knee are among the common areas treated.
ACL injuries of the knee and Achilles tendon injuries are particularly representative examples of how our treatment can potentially be an effective alternative to invasive surgery.
When an ACL ruptures or tears, it is often only a partial tear with the outer sheath remaining intact, or only minimally retracted, which leaves the ligament still mostly in place.
When this is the case, our treatment can be an excellent option for repairing the damaged ligament.
This state-of-the-art procedure allows the patient to return to some forms of exercise within several weeks and back to full activity within several months.
