What are the Causes of ACL Injuries?
• The first-line approach to treating an ACL injury involves rest, ice packs, elevating the area, a compression bandage and sometimes crutches. • NSAIDs, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen, are often helpful in relieving the pain of ACL injuries. • Physical therapy, usually in combination with other treatment approaches, can strengthen the joints and muscles. • Intra-articular corticosteroid injections – injections into the joint may prove helpful.
