ACL Reconstruction
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is located in the knee and can be injured or torn when it is harshly twisted in the wrong way. ACL tears are especially common in athletes, including those who participate in sports such as gymnastics, football, soccer, tennis, or downhill skiing. All these sports require sudden stops and changes in direction, making the risk higher for twisting the knee the wrong way and sustaining an ACL injury.
An ACL injury is painful and debilitating. Those suffering from this type of injury typically experience severe pain, swelling, limited range of motion, and instability when trying to bear weight. Fortunately, our Batavia physical therapy services can help treat your ACL injury and provide some much-needed relief.
According to GetPT1st, “research shows that 26% of non-contact ACL injuries could be prevented by specific exercise programs.” At Therapy Care, we are dedicated not only to helping you recover from your ACL injury, but we are also able to help you prevent further injuries from occurring in the future. Our Batavia physical therapists will conduct several tests to gauge your injury risk, such as the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS). This is a jump-landing test, used to determine whether or not you are at high-risk for a non-contact ACL injury.
After diagnostic tests and physical examinations are complete, our physical therapists will design a specialized treatment plan based on your specific needs. Your treatment plan may include a combination of methods, including manual therapy, ice and heat therapies, ultrasound, or targeted exercises, all aimed at providing relief and rehabilitation.
If you are suffering from an ACL injury, contact Therapy Care today to schedule your initial appointment At Batavia, IL Centre. We will get you started on your path toward recovery and long-lasting relief!

We had the pleasure of working with Ms. Erin Jackson! Sweet, kind, welcoming, and always with a bright smile to greet us! She helped my son develop in speech and worked with care and patience. She created a friendly, warm environment and always made my son feel comfortable to play an learn at his own pace. Our weekly visits not only improved my son’s speech but his social abilities to interact with others. I’m truly grateful for the help and care she provided for my son!
