Understanding ACL Injuries:
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the major ligaments in the knee joint, providing stability and preventing excessive forward movement of the shin bone relative to the thigh bone.
ACL injuries are common, particularly among athletes participating in high-impact sports such as soccer, basketball, and football.
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, ACL injuries affect approximately 200,000 individuals in the United States each year.
Most Common Causes of ACL Injuries:
Non-Contact Injuries: ACL tears often occur during non-contact movements, such as sudden stops, changes in direction, or pivoting motions, particularly when the knee is under stress.
Direct Impact: ACL injuries can also result from direct blows to the knee, such as collisions or falls during sports activities or accidents.
Overuse or Wear and Tear: Chronic stress or repetitive movements can weaken the ACL over time, increasing the risk of injury, especially in individuals who engage in activities that involve jumping, landing, or cutting.

I highly recommend Balance for all your health and longevity goals. I had damaged muscle from a trauma injury that had not healed in three years and through Shockwave and Balance’s comprehensive treatment approach, healed the damaged region. They are extremely customized in their care and it is always a wonderful overall experience.
I was recommended to Balance medical from a local friend here in Colorado as we are visiting from Costa Rica. It was suggested that it may help to have a session in the hyperbaric chamber to help adjust to the altitude.
The entire experience was educational and professional with both Dr Jesi and her husband Dr Jason explaining the process step by step and not only the benefits of what to expect but how your body functions and why this process would help me to climatize to the altitude.
A great experience and can say it really worked for me I was experiencing a slight headache and just kind of worn out. After the one-hour session I was revitalized and had renewed energy and my headache was gone. I have been hiking and climbing since here in the mountains and feel great.
Thank you very much Dr. Jesi and Dr. Jason for your help and professionalism what a great team!
I recently had Dr Jess treat my plantar fasciitis with shock wave therapy. The results are amazing! I had 4-5 treatments about 2 weeks apart. The results are not immediate, but within a few days I had so much relief and after a few treatments the difference is incredible! SO worth it!
10 years ago I broke my leg in two places and had 14 pins, two plates and bone graphed into my tib/fib/ankle, and was told I would deal with arthritis for the rest of my life. Being extremely active in sports, weight lifting, and with my profession I found that movement helped but was almost counter intuitive. I lost nearly 75% range of motion in the joint and became limited in certain abilities in addition to consistent discomfort. I'm now 4 months out from receiving PRP and cellular therapy from Jason, and i have seen a significant improvement in my ability to not only move the joint with gained ROM, but pain and discomfort is nearly non existent after strenuous activities. I used to wake up and find it hard to take the first few steps, which is no longer an issue. I highly recommend considering this treatment to anyone looking to either gain an advantage on maintaining a active lifestyle or simply live day to day with less pain.
Advanced Diagnostics at Balance Medical Integration:
X-ray Imaging: Utilizing state-of-the-art x-ray technology, we can carefully evaluate the structure of your knee joint to detect fractures, abnormalities, or other issues related to ACL injuries or surgical repairs.
Ultrasound Diagnostics: Our high-resolution ultrasound imaging provides a detailed view of the ACL's condition and the surrounding soft tissues, allowing us to identify signs of injury, inflammation, or joint instability.
Hands-On Evaluation: Our skilled healthcare providers perform comprehensive, hands-on assessments to evaluate knee stability, assess range of motion, and test muscle strength. These evaluations are essential for creating a personalized, effective post-surgical ACL rehabilitation plan tailored to your recovery needs.
Integrated Therapies for Post-Surgical ACL Recovery:
Shockwave Therapy:
Research has demonstrated that shockwave therapy can play a key role in promoting healing and relieving pain during ACL recovery. A study published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine highlighted significant improvements in both pain and function after shockwave therapy for patellar tendinopathy.
Dr. Jessica Balbo and Dr. Jason Bojar specialize in advanced shockwave therapy techniques that target the surgical site, stimulate tissue regeneration, and optimize recovery after ACL surgery.
Chiropractic Care:
Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to help restore proper knee joint alignment and improve overall knee function following ACL surgery. A systematic review in The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found positive outcomes for patients receiving chiropractic care for knee osteoarthritis.
Our experienced chiropractors use gentle, focused adjustments to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and enhance mobility during the ACL recovery process.
Soft TIssue Mobilization:
Techniques such as massage therapy and myofascial release are effective methods to reduce pain and promote healing in the knee following ACL surgery. According to The Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, soft tissue mobilization can decrease pain levels and improve overall knee function in patients recovering from ACL-related injuries.
Dr. Jessica Balbo and Dr. Jason Bojar offer customized soft tissue mobilization plans to address muscle imbalances, minimize scar tissue development, and support a smoother, faster recovery after surgery.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy:
PRP therapy is a promising, minimally invasive treatment shown to speed up healing and reduce pain during ACL recovery. A meta-analysis in The American Journal of Sports Medicine reported notable improvements in pain relief and function following PRP injections for chronic tendinopathies.
We offer PRP treatments that use concentrated platelets derived from your own blood to encourage tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and enhance your body’s natural recovery process after ACL surgery.
Stem Cell Injections:
Stem cell therapy has emerged as a valuable option for promoting tissue regeneration and alleviating inflammation during ACL recovery. A study in The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery reported improved pain levels and restored function following stem cell treatments for ACL injuries.
Dr. Jessica Balbo and Dr. Jason Bojar offer advanced stem cell therapy options to support ligament repair, improve knee joint stability, and accelerate healing for individuals recovering from ACL surgery.
