Somerset, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/10/2017 -- The East Brunswick, NJ pain consultants at the University Pain Medicine Center offer patients with ACL tears various treatment options to alleviate pain and swelling in the knee. Those who are active in sports such as volleyball, basketball, and soccer are most at risk to this injury and should seek immediate medical attention if they lose their range of motion, or experience extreme knee swelling.
Upon arrival at the University Pain Medicine Center, one of their pain specialists will check the knee for swelling and compare the injured knee to the uninjured knee. It's also likely that the doctor will move the knee around to check its range of motion and overall joint function. To correctly diagnose the severity of the injury, an X-ray, MRI, or ultrasound may need to be performed. After diagnosis, patients are encouraged to prop their knee up at home, ice it generously, and keep weight off the injury to keep pain levels to a minimum.
At the University Pain Medicine Center, patients can expect state-of-the-art pain relief therapies for not only ACL tears, but a wide variety of chronic and acute conditions including shoulder pain, headaches, herniated discs, and much more. The medical practice's compassionate team of award-winning doctors are board-certified and go above and beyond to bring their patients back to a quality state of living. In fact, the University Pain Medicine Center's founder has been rated one of New Jersey's top-rated doctors for seven years in a row. The center's growing success can be attributed to the medical staff always putting the patient first, treating the entire patient, not just the point of pain.
