For effective non-invasive treatment for MCL tear or injury in the Fullerton area, turn to orthopedic specialists at Full Range Spine & Ortho.The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is a tough, fibrous band of tissue that runs along the inside of your knee, connecting your shin to your thigh bone. It helps to stabilize the knee during movement. When this ligament becomes torn, stretched or otherwise injured, Full Range Spine & Ortho, serving residents of Fullerton and neighboring areas, can provide non-invasive treatment for MCL injuries.
MCL injuries commonly occur when the knee sustains an impact from the side, such as in many contact sports like football, rugby, lacrosse, soccer and hockey. The MCL is stretched too far or partially torn from impact. The MCL can also become injured if the knee is twisted too far or bend outward.
MCL injuries cause considerable knee pain, along with swelling and possibly a tendency to bend to one side. You may also have heard a popping noise at the time of impact. The knee will be unstable when attempting to stand, walk or otherwise use it. The knee joint may also lock into place when movement is attempted.
