Understanding ACL Tears

Depending upon the nature of the ACL tear, its location (closer to the tibia or femur), and the patient’s age, fitness, and general health, there are three primary types of conventional ACL surgery:

• Autograft ACL Reconstruction: The most common type of surgical ACL repair reconstructs the ACL using another tendon from the patient’s body, such as the patellar tendon, hamstring, or quadriceps.
• Allograft ACL Reconstruction: This surgery uses a donated tendon from a cadaver for the repair.
• Primary ACL Repair: This attempts to repair the damaged ligament directly.

Each of these surgical repairs is typically done on an outpatient basis. And each has its drawbacks. Generally, the surgeries all share the following disadvantages: 

• Added pain
• Anesthesia
• Additional tissue damage
• Scar tissue
• Risk of complications
• Lengthy and painful recovery
• Narcotics
• Risk of developing post-traumatic arthritis

Regenerative ACL tear treatments without surgery can repair your torn ligament without any of the drawbacks of surgery.

The Promise of Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative medicine is an exciting field that provides pain relief and the restoration of joint function without surgery, as well as the many disadvantages that can accompany it. Complete ACL tear treatment without surgery isn’t an impossible dream. It can relieve pain, increase function, and improve your range of motion with: 

• No added pain
• No anesthesia
• No additional tissue damage
• No scar tissue
• No risk of complications
• No lengthy and painful recovery
• No narcotics
• No risk of developing post-traumatic arthritis

Instead, regenerative medicine works with your body, harnessing its natural healing and repair mechanisms. The therapy stimulates your body’s self-healing processes, provides critical support and cellular building blocks essential for tissue repair, and then guides it to focus on repairing the torn ligament.

Benefits of Regenerative ACL Tear Treatment

Regenerative ACL treatment without surgery provides numerous benefits: 

• Non-Invasive Approach: By avoiding incisions and cutting of tendons, ligaments, or muscles, regenerative therapy lets you avoid anesthesia, the development of scar tissue, and the risk of surgical complications and infections.
• Faster Recovery Time: By skipping doing additional tissue damage, you won’t need to take weeks off from work or driving. Take it a bit easy for a day or two, but there’s no need to miss a day of work.
• Natural Healing: Regenerative therapy harnesses the body’s natural healing processes. It reduces complication risk, minimizes tissue damage, and can lead to a more holistic, sustainable, as well as long-term recovery.

Patient Success Stories

Before Cordelia began her regenerative treatment for a torn ACL without surgery, her knees were buckling under her as she walked, making her feel unsafe. Now, she says, “It doesn’t buckle on me, so I’m happy about that cause I feel more confident when I’m walking — I won’t fall!

Another patient couldn’t walk upstairs without help, and the throbbing pain in his knees would wake him up once or twice every night. “I noticed relief the next day.” He can now walk upstairs, go to the gym, and work without his knees betraying him. Today, he says, “My knees feel great! It seems like I can actually do stuff to build strength back in my legs.”

What to Expect During ACL Treatment

Come to QC Kinetix for regenerative treatments that provide non-surgical ACL pain relief. When you do, you’ll start with a free consultation. At that first meeting, we will evaluate your knee(s) condition to ensure that we can help you. We will review all your studies and scans. You’ll be assigned your own patient advocate, who will guide you throughout the regenerative therapies. We will answer all your questions about how regenerative treatment can benefit your specific condition.

You can expect your therapy session to last 30 to 90 minutes. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and are able to drive themselves to and from the appointment. You may be advised to take it easy for a couple of days, but you won’t have to miss work.

Some patients report improvement within just a few weeks, but most will take 2-4 months. For some, it may take up to nine months before they experience the full effects of their ACL recovery without surgery. To get the maximum benefit, you must follow up with the recommended treatment protocol and rehabilitation exercises.
