What is the treatment for an ACL injury?

Do R.I.C.E. therapy immediately after the injury:

  • R: Rest.
  • I: Ice.
  • C: Compression.
  • E: Elevation.

The type of treatment you receive is up to you. Many people with ACL tears decide to have surgery so that they can return to the activities they did before the injury. If your activity level isn’t as high, you might choose to not have surgery. But, keep in mind that your torn ACL won’t heal on its own.
