Knee Ligament Injuries

A knee ligament injury can sideline you from activities you love and leave you feeling unstable. St. Luke's Therapy Sevierville's Knee Ligament Injury Treatment Program offers a proven approach to rehabilitate your knee, restore stability and function, and get you back to moving with confidence.

Understanding Knee Ligament Injuries:

Your knee ligaments connect your bones and provide stability to the joint. Injuries to these ligaments, like the ACL, MCL, PCL, or LCL, can cause pain, swelling, instability, and limit your ability to walk, run, or change direction.
