ACL Tear Fort Lauderdale

If you’ve heard a pop in your knee followed by swelling, pain, or a sense of instability, there’s a high chance you’ve suffered an ACL tear, a serious injury that often occurs during sports or physical activities. The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is a crucial stabilizing structure in the knee, and when torn, it can lead to difficulty walking, running, or performing everyday tasks. At Theracave, we specialize in physical therapy for ACL tears, offering personalized care that helps you regain strength, stability, and function. Our experienced therapists design tailored recovery programs to ensure that you heal properly and return to the activities you love.

Recovering from an ACL tear, whether non-surgically or post-surgery, requires a carefully structured rehabilitation plan. At Theracave, we focus on restoring knee stability, improving mobility, and rebuilding strength. Our physical therapy programs include targeted exercises to address weakness, flexibility issues, and pain, helping you recover efficiently and reduce the risk of re-injury. Whether you’re recovering from an ACL tear or preparing for a more active future, personalized therapy plays a vital role in restoring full function to your knee and allowing you to safely return to the sports and activities you enjoy.

Q&A

An ACL tear is an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee, often caused by sudden twisting or impact. It can be a partial tear or a full rupture, resulting in pain, swelling, and joint instability.

Not always. Partial tears or tears in non-athletes may be managed with physical therapy alone. However, surgery is often recommended for complete tears, especially in active individuals who want to return to high-impact activities.

With surgery, full recovery can take 6–9 months or more. Without surgery, recovery timelines vary but usually take several months. Consistent physical therapy is key to regaining strength, balance, and joint stability.

Yes, many individuals return to sports with proper rehab. A structured physical therapy program helps ensure your knee is strong, stable, and fully functional before returning to high-level activity.
