ACL Knee Brace for ACL Tears and Injuries

ACL Braces and Supports

One of the most common injuries involving the knee joint is an Anterior Cruciate Ligament tear. Commonly referred to as a torn ACL, this injury is especially frequent among athletes in sports involving constant lateral movement and changes in speed and direction, such as basketball and football. If you tear your ACL, you may hear a “pop” at the time of the injury. If you think you may have torn your ACL, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Treatment for ACL injuries vary depending on the severity of the injury. Possibly treatments may include physical therapy, surgery, or wearing a supporting knee brace. Often times after surgery, an ACL reconstruction brace is required to help with recovery and increasing range of motion. For those looking to return to previous sports, wearing an ACL brace is the best way to protect your knee from re-tearing your ACL.
