MSK Knee Injury & ACL Clinic
The Knee Injury & ACL Clinic provides complete care for your knee ligament injury – from initial assessment, imaging, and rehabilitation to surgery, bracing, and post-surgical maintenance and conditioning.
Our Knee Injury & ACL Clinic provides comprehensive care for your ACL or knee ligament injury. The experience begins with an assessment from an orthopaedic surgeon and a physiotherapist who will diagnose your injury.
Initial physiotherapy (referred to as “pre-hab”) begins immediately to decrease your swelling, improve your pain, and restore your gait.
You will then be provided with detailed counseling from your surgeon and physiotherapy team regarding treatment options including surgery, bracing, post-surgical rehab, and injury prevention strategies.
As a full-spectrum knee treatment clinic, we treat a wide range of conditions including:
- Cruciate ligament injuries (ACL, PCL)
- Collateral ligament injuries (MCL, LCL)
- Meniscal tears
- Patellofemoral pain
- Patella dislocations
- Osteochondritis dissecans
- Pre-patella bursitis
- IT Band friction syndrome
