Can a partial ACL tear heal on its own without surgery and how long does it usually take for the knee to feel normal again
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, a partial ACL tear can potentially heal on its own without surgery, especially for less active individuals. However, the recovery time can vary, typically ranging from 3 to 6 months for those without surgery. The focus of treatment is on reducing inflammation, improving knee stability, and gradually increasing mobility through physical therapy

I've tried using ointments like Volini, but they haven't done much. The intensity seems to change every day. What could be going on?
