Comprehensive Non-Surgical Care For PCL Injuries In Malaysia
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is one of the key stabilizers of the knee joint, working alongside the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Stronger and more durable than the ACL, the PCL connects the femur (thighbone) to the tibia (shinbone). Despite its strength, the PCL is susceptible to tears that may lead to knee instability and discomfort. Proper care involving non-invasive therapies is crucial to ensure full recovery.
Chiropractic Specialty Center® (CSC) provides integrative, targeted care for PCL injuries. Our approach combines advanced chiropractic methods with physiotherapy, supported by breakthrough technologies for knee joint recovery.
Understanding The Prevalence Of PCL Injuries
Posterior cruciate ligament injuries account for less than 20% of all knee ligament injuries. Often, they coincide with additional damage to other knee structures, such as cartilage or adjacent ligaments. In some cases, a PCL injury may involve a fragment of the bone breaking off. Timely and precise care is essential to avoid further complications.
At CSC, we specialize in the assessment and care of PCL injuries, ensuring that every aspect of your recovery is addressed with precision. Contact us to begin your holistic care today.
How Do PCL Injuries Happen?
PCL injuries typically occur due to trauma, such as a direct blow to a bent knee. Common causes include:
- Falling on a flexed knee.
- Knee impact during vehicular accidents (e.g., striking the dashboard).
- Sports-related incidents, particularly in activities like skiing, rugby, football, and tennis.
PCL injuries are categorized into three grades based on severity:
- Grade I: Partial tear with minimal instability.
- Grade II: More pronounced tear with increased laxity.
- Grade III: Complete tear causing significant instability.
CSC’s chiropractors and physiotherapists specialize in diagnosing and addressing both acute and chronic PCL injuries through evidence-based approaches.
Identifying Symptoms Of A PCL Injury
Unlike ACL injuries, PCL injuries rarely involve a “popping” sound. However, they can result in significant functional impairments if left untreated. Common symptoms include:
- Difficulty bearing weight or walking.
- Instability or a wobbly feeling in the knee.
- Swelling, ranging from mild to severe.
- Discomfort or limited movement.
Prolonged neglect of PCL injuries can accelerate the development of osteoarthritis, emphasizing the importance of prompt care.

Understanding PCL Injury and How It’s Assessed
PCL injuries often result from direct trauma or hyperextension of the knee, commonly seen in sports or car accidents. During your evaluation at CSC, our clinical experts will ask detailed questions to understand the circumstances of your injury, such as:
- The position of your knee at the time of injury (twisted, bent, or straight).
- Immediate symptoms experienced post-injury.
- Any recurrent or ongoing discomfort in your knee.
Precise Identification of PCL Injuries
Our chiropractors and physiotherapists conduct thorough assessments, including:
- Physical Examination: Gentle knee manipulation to evaluate movement and stability.
- Gait Analysis: Observing your walking motion for abnormalities.
- Diagnostic Imaging: X-rays to rule out bone injuries and MRIs for detailed visualization of ligament tears.
This comprehensive approach ensures an accurate understanding of your injury’s severity.
Home Care for PCL Injuries: PRICE Protocol
To manage swelling and discomfort at home, follow the PRICE protocol:
- Protect your knee from further injury.
- Rest to allow healing.
- Ice for 10-15 minutes, 2-3 times a day.
- Compress with an elastic bandage for support.
- Elevate your knee to reduce swelling.
While these measures provide temporary relief, professional care is essential for full recovery.
