PCL Injuries

Posterior Cruciate Ligament Treatment in Chennai

  • Posterior cruciate ligament injuries often occurs to the knee’s highly exposed counterpart called the anterior cruciate ligament or the ACL. 
  • On the other hand, the posterior cruciate ligament and ACL connects the thighbone, femur to your shinbone, tibia. 
  • Ligaments are the strong bands of tissue which attach one bone to another. The cruciate ligaments help in connecting the thighbone to the shinbone. In the centre of the knee, the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments form an “X”.
  • The PCL condition prevails if the ligament is torn, or has severe pain, swelling and a feeling of instability and has to be treated immediately.

  • Eat oranges which are rich in vitamin C which prevents osteoarthritis and painful feelings.
  • Have more leafy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or mustard greens which are rich in antioxidants.
  • Have milk with less fats as it has calcium to strengthen the bones or ligaments and ginger for great anti-inflammatory effects to ease pain.

Focused On Providing The Best Possible Treatment To Our Patients

We Have Created Our Care Practice Specially To Fit Your Needs

From trouble sleeping to work stress to anxiety to depression, we all have difficulty managing our emotions at times. It’s part of being human. And addressing these issues is a vital part of what we do as a primary care practice, because your emotional well-being is essential to your overall health and wellness.

We’ve redesigned the doctor’s office experience to fit your life, put you at ease, and treat you as a whole person. We create safe and inviting spaces,

ask meaningful questions, give you time to talk, and listen without judgment. Then we work with you on a plan to help you feel your best — whether you want to sleep better, feel calmer, worry less, or get a better handle on your mood.

To continue shedding a light on mental health issues, we teamed up with the award-winning musicians from Bear and a Banjo to create a song showing people they’re not alone. See how the project came to life in the video above — and if you’re struggling, we can help.
