Your body has amazing helpers called ligaments that work hard every day to keep you moving safely. These are strong yet flexible strips of tissue composed primarily of tough proteins, including collagen and elastin, which is a stretchy protein.
Remove
These helpful tissues also stop your joints from bending too far or moving in dangerous directions. Plus, they help your body understand where it is in space – that's called proprioception. This amazing ability helps you stay balanced and coordinated when you walk, run, or dance.

<h3>Immobilization with Braces or Casts</h3>
Remove
For moderate tears (Grade 2) or to help Grade 1 injuries heal properly, your doctor might suggest a brace, splint, or cast. These devices support your injured joint, take pressure off the healing ligament, help keep everything aligned properly, and prevent more damage while you're healing.
Remove
<h3>Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation</h3>
Remove
Physical therapy is a really important part of non-surgical treatment and usually starts once your initial pain and swelling get better. A licensed physical therapist at SCI Hospital will create a special exercise program just for you to:
Remove
<ul><li>Reduce pain and swelling</li> <li>Get your full range of motion back in the injured joint</li> <li>Strengthen the muscles around your injured ligament to give it support and stability</li> <li>Improve flexibility, balance, and coordination</li></ul>
Remove
<h3>Pain Management and Anti-inflammatory Medications</h3>
Remove
Over-the-counter medicines like ibuprofen or naproxen can help relieve pain and reduce swelling. For worse pain or inflammation, your doctor might prescribe stronger medicines, including corticosteroids.
Remove
<h3>Home Remedies for Ligament Tear in the Knee</h3>
Remove
Besides the immediate R.I.C.E. treatment, home remedies mainly involve carefully following rest, ice, compression, elevation, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers as directed.
Remove
