ACL & knee injuries

An ACL tear in a high school soccer player and a meniscus tear in a weekend tennis player call for different plans. We look at the injury, your sport and your timeline, then decide together whether that means a structured rehab program or surgery. For athletes, returning to play happens in stages, and we check strength and movement before you go back.
