Understanding LCL Sprains/Tears
Lateral collateral ligament (LCL) Sprains/Tears occur when the ligament on the outer side of the knee is stretched or torn due to trauma or overuse. This ligament plays a crucial role in stabilizing the knee joint, particularly against lateral (sideways) movement. LCL Sprains/Tears can range from mild to severe, impacting mobility and causing pain.
Symptoms can include:
Pain or tenderness on the outer side of the knee
Swelling and inflammation around the knee joint
Instability or feeling of the knee giving out
Difficulty bearing weight on the affected leg
Limited range of motion in the knee

“I stumbled onto this place via an instagram ad, and boy am I glad I did! I had been having nagging hamstring issues that I wanted to have addressed and from my first visit I knew I had found the right place. After my first visit Dr Frye had told me that I was going to be injury and pain free in my hamstring... Well the next day I flew in to a tournament and tore my ACL and LCL from a bonehead mistake I made. I texted him and he saw me the same day I flew home(on the weekend)! Fast forward 4 weeks post trauma, I did not have surgery, and I am slowly jogging and doing body weight squats. After 6 weeks, I am back to squatting just shy of double my body weight and sprinting almost full speed. I am now 8 weeks in and I am back on the field competing at the same level I was pre knee injury. If you are an athlete looking to be treated for a major injury or a nagging, acute injury, look no further. If I ever get hurt again, I will without hesitation schedule to with Dr Frye again!” -Joseph C.
