BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Oct. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- JAG-ONE Physical Therapy, one of the fastest-growing comprehensive physical and occupational therapy practices in the Northeast, announces today that they are the first in the region to rehabilitate the innovative BEAR® Implant reconstruction surgery of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, one of the most common knee injuries in the U.S. The BEAR Implant is the first medical advancement to enable the body to heal its torn ACL. This new approach is a shift from the current standard of care – reconstruction that replaces the ACL with a graft and is the first innovation in ACL tear treatment in more than 30 years.

Key Points:
