Are you suffering from the pain and instability of knee ligament injuries?
Knee ligament injuries can be debilitating, impacting your mobility and overall quality of life. At Balance Medical Integration, Dr. Jessica Balbo and Dr. Jason Bojar provide cutting-edge diagnostics and advanced treatment options to address these injuries and help you recover. Let’s explore the most common types of knee ligament injuries, their causes, and how our integrated care can support your recovery:
Understanding Knee Ligament Injuries:
Knee ligament injuries, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears and medial collateral ligament (MCL) sprains, are common sports-related injuries that can occur due to sudden twists, impacts, or hyperextension of the knee joint.
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, ACL injuries alone affect approximately 200,000 individuals in the United States each year, with athletes participating in high-risk sports like soccer, basketball, and football being particularly susceptible.
Most Common Causes of Knee Ligament Injuries:
Sports Trauma: Participation in high-impact sports or activities that involve sudden changes in direction, jumping, or landing can increase the risk of knee ligament injuries.
Traumatic Events: Direct blows to the knee, falls, or accidents can cause ligament tears or sprains, leading to pain, swelling, and instability of the knee joint.
Overuse or Wear and Tear: Chronic stress or repetitive motions can weaken the knee ligaments over time, making them more susceptible to injury, especially in individuals who engage in repetitive movements or heavy physical labor.

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.

Innovative Treatments for Knee Ligament Injuries:
Shockwave Therapy:
Shockwave therapy has been proven effective in promoting healing and alleviating pain in individuals with knee ligament injuries. According to a study published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine, patients with chronic patellar tendinopathy experienced significant pain relief and functional improvements following shockwave therapy.
Dr. Jessica Balbo and Dr. Jason Bojar use advanced shockwave therapy techniques to target damaged ligaments, stimulate natural tissue regeneration, and support the recovery process from knee ligament injuries.
Chiropractic Care:
Research indicates that chiropractic adjustments can restore proper alignment and joint function following knee ligament injuries. A systematic review in The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found positive results in patients receiving chiropractic treatment for knee osteoarthritis.
Our experienced chiropractors utilize gentle, precise adjustments to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and improve mobility for those recovering from knee ligament injuries.
Soft TIssue Mobilization:
Techniques like massage therapy and myofascial release, categorized as soft tissue mobilization, can effectively reduce pain and support healing in knee ligaments. A study published in The Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy highlighted the benefits of soft tissue mobilization in improving function and relieving pain for individuals with knee injuries.
Dr. Jessica Balbo and Dr. Jason Bojar provide customized soft tissue mobilization therapies to correct muscle imbalances, minimize scar tissue, and optimize the healing process for knee ligament injuries.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy:
PRP therapy has emerged as a groundbreaking treatment option for knee ligament injuries, offering pain relief and promoting accelerated healing. A meta-analysis published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine found notable functional improvements in patients with chronic tendinopathies who received PRP injections.
Our PRP therapy treatments harness the body’s healing properties by using concentrated platelets from your own blood to reduce inflammation, promote tissue repair, and speed up recovery.
Stem Cell Injections:
Stem cell therapy has shown promise for promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation in patients with knee ligament injuries. A study published in The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery demonstrated significant improvements in pain and mobility in patients with ACL tears treated with stem cell injections.
Dr. Jessica Balbo and Dr. Jason Bojar offer advanced stem cell therapy options that focus on supporting ligament healing, reducing inflammation, and restoring knee joint stability for those with knee ligament injuries.
