Ever felt that “POP” sensation in your knee? Torn ligaments in Broward County residents are painful and often times require treatment from a Plantation chiropractor.  The popping sensation you may have experienced in you knee may be a ligament tear to the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament).

Familiar to many Plantation athletes, this torn ligament sports injury is due to a violent twisting or hard stop of the knee. After the “POP” you may feel the knee collapsing from beneath you unexpectedly, followed by an even greater degree of pain.

Ligaments are tissues that bind the bones together. If the bone is forced to move beyond how the ligament is intended to stretch, a tearing or sprain results. Common approaches to torn ligament pain and swelling rarely suffice.

An experienced sports injury Broward County chiropractor will access your injury and devise a treatment program that will help bring relief and healing of the torn ligament injury.

You may be surprised to discover that Broward County auto accidents are to blame for most knee injuries. We imagine most car crash injuries occurring in the upper half of our body such as the head, neck, and chest but that is not always the case.

In the event of a Plantation car crash the fragile knee is usually hidden yet centrally located near the steering wheel, door, and dashboard.  This is a prime spot for a knee injury. When a bent knee hits the dashboard the PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) may tear. Since it’s natural to tense up in the chaos of our car crashing (we don’t know what just hit us!), our joints absorb the extra stress and tension.

The bottom line is that you are in pain and need relief.  Don’t try and white knuckle your way through the pain.
