I'm dealing with a complete ACL tear according to my MRI. I'm really hoping to explore alternatives to surgery. Is there anything else out there that can help fix my ligaments? My MRI report is included.

Non-surgical options for ACL tears include physical therapy to strengthen the surrounding muscles and improve stability, as well as the use of a knee brace for support. However, it is important to note that these methods may not fully restore the stability of the knee like surgery would. Additionally, certain medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help manage pain and inflammation associated with the injury.
