PCL Tear Davie
PCL Tear Davie
Dealing with knee pain, swelling, or instability after a fall, sports injury, or sudden impact? You might be facing a PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) tear—a key injury that affects the stability of your knee joint. At Theracave in Davie, we offer expert physical therapy designed to help you recover from PCL injuries through personalized treatment plans. Our focus is on reducing pain, restoring strength, and improving movement so you can return to your daily life and activities with confidence.
The PCL plays an essential role in keeping the shinbone from sliding too far backward beneath the thighbone. Injuries to this ligament often occur during car accidents, contact sports, or awkward landings, and may go unnoticed without proper assessment. At Theracave in Davie, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine the extent of your injury and create a rehab plan tailored to your specific needs. With early and consistent therapy, many PCL tears can heal without surgery, allowing for a full recovery and better knee function over time.

Q&A
What is a PCL tear and how is it different from an ACL tear?
A PCL tear affects the posterior cruciate ligament, located behind the knee, and is often caused by direct impact or falling on a bent knee. Unlike an ACL tear, which is more common and often results from pivoting or twisting, PCL injuries are typically the result of trauma.
Do all PCL tears require surgery?
No. Many partial or isolated PCL tears can be treated conservatively with physical therapy, bracing, and activity modification. Surgery is usually reserved for complete tears or those involving multiple knee structures.
How long does it take to recover from a PCL tear?
Recovery times vary. Non-surgical cases may take 6–12 weeks with consistent therapy. Post-surgical rehab often takes 4–6 months or more, depending on the severity of the injury and individual progress.
Can I return to sports after a PCL tear?
Yes. Most individuals return to sports or high-impact activities after completing a structured rehab program. Physical therapy helps restore knee strength, control, and confidence before resuming intense movement.
