Specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

See a MD: Some of the spasms can be due to tightening of tendons like the hamstrings. However, you should be evaluated by a MD to make sure and they can also examine for a DVT before starting Physical therapy if surgery is not being pursued. ACL tears should be followed closely by medical professionals in the field of Orthopedics or Sports Medicine.
