I've been diagnosed with a low-grade partial ACL tear and I'm wondering if physiotherapy alone can help it heal without affecting my daily routine or sports. Is it safe to skip surgery, or will I run into problems later? I really don't want any future issues that could disrupt my life can I manage this without surgery and still live normally? What's the best option for me?
