FAQs
Can an ACL tear heal without surgery?
Partial tears may respond to rehabilitation, but complete ruptures typically do not heal on their own. Without surgical reconstruction, long-term instability can lead to further joint deterioration.

What are my treatment options?
We offer hands-on therapy, movement retraining, ergonomic corrections, and strengthening programs designed to restore function and prevent recurring pain. Our goal is to help you recover without surgery or medication whenever possible.
Are cupping marks harmful?
No. The marks left by cupping are temporary and indicate the release of stagnant blood and toxins. They fade within a few days, leaving you with improved circulation and reduced muscle tightness.
Can you bend your knee with a torn ACL?
Pain and swelling may initially limit knee motion, but most regain normal range of motion with rehabilitation. The challenge lies in restoring the knee’s ability to handle rotational forces.
