If you want ACL tear healing without surgery, then we recommend the following treatment protocol using homeopathic remedies.
HOMEOPATHIC PROTOCOL
- Wear a knee brace to limit the movement of the knee for at least 2 weeks.
- Take a dose of ARNICA 200 and RUTA 200 on alternate days, i.e., take Arnica on day one and Ruta on day two, do this for one week.
- After one week, stop the above regimen and start a dose of ARNICA 1M and RUTA 1M on alternate days for 2 weeks.
- Apply Arnica cream 4-5 times a day on the affected area till improvement is achieved.
Your pain should be gone 100% by the end of the 2nd week, and your ACL should be 100% improved by the end of the 4th week. You can get an MRI done to confirm. If the pain or healing is not as mentioned above, you can contact us for consultation or any other homeopath of your choice.
GENERAL INFO ABOUT ACL TEAR When is Surgery Not Necessary? Surgical treatment is often advised for people with complete ACL tears, especially when it comes to the combination of injuries, such as ACL tears and other injuries to the knee. It is perfectly reasonable to decide against surgery for select patients and most likely, non-operational treatments are advised to patients with complete ACL tears and no symptoms of knee instability who can still perform in low-demanding sports and are willing to give up sports with high-demand pressure on the knee. Also, people who live a sedentary lifestyle and do mostly light manual work will not need to be operated on. Additionally, non-operative methods are preferred for patients whose growth plates are still open, i.e., children.
When is Surgery Necessary? If the ACL tear is followed by a torn meniscus, surgery might be the best option for recovery. Fixing the torn ACL will prevent further damage to the knee and abnormal movement that can damage the cartilage and the meniscus. When the ACL is torn, the meniscus cartilage between the tibia and the femur is under a great impact, which can lead to osteoarthritis.
Pros and Cons of Surgery Now that we have established that surgery for a complete anterior cruciate ligament tear is not always necessary, let’s look at some pros and cons of surgical and non-surgical treatment.
Pros. The first positive thing about surgical treatment for a complete ACL tear is that you will be able to return to any type of sport or other activity that requires twisting, pivoting, heavy manual work, and hard-cutting. Also, having surgery for your ACL tear will help protect your knee from the possible future damage to the cartilage and other parts of the knee. It offers a great potential for a high-functioning knee, which is also a plus.
Cons. Of course, ACL surgery brings some cons as well. One of the main ones is that the surgery is not always 100 percent effective, as some patients may never fully recover, i.e., get the normal functionality of the knee. Also, there are a lot of activities that can be performed quite normally even without the surgery, so for some people, it may not be necessary at all. Last but not least, there are risks and complications that follow every surgical procedure, including the ACL one.
