Soft Tissue Injuries
Soft tissue injuries refer to damage to muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. These injuries can occur due to various reasons, including sports activities, accidents, or repetitive strain. Common types of soft tissue injuries include sprains, strains, tendonitis, and contusions.
How We Treat Soft Tissue Injuries
At our clinic, we take a holistic approach to treating soft tissue injuries. The treatment includes:
- Initial Assessment: A thorough examination to understand the severity and exact location of the injury.
- Rest and Immobilization: Ensuring the injured area gets the necessary rest by using splints, braces, or taping to prevent further damage.
- Cryotherapy: Applying ice or cold compresses to reduce inflammation and manage pain during the initial phase.
- Manual Therapy: Techniques like massage and myofascial release to promote blood flow, reduce stiffness, and speed up healing.
- Electrotherapy: Using modalities like ultrasound, TENS, and shockwave therapy to promote tissue healing and reduce pain.
- Rehabilitation Exercises: We focus on restoring strength, flexibility, and range of motion through tailored exercises. Progressive rehabilitation is essential to prevent recurrence and ensure long-term recovery.
How Can Soft Tissue Injuries Be Cured?
Most soft tissue injuries can be effectively managed with a combination of rest, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation exercises. However, early intervention is critical. Here’s how you can expect your recovery to progress:
- Phase 1 (0-72 hours): Focus on reducing swelling and pain with cold therapy, rest, and gentle compression.
- Phase 2 (3-7 days): Gradual movement, introducing light range-of-motion exercises to restore mobility.
- Phase 3 (1-4 weeks): Progressive strengthening and rehabilitation, emphasizing building back muscle strength and balance.
- Phase 4 (4+ weeks): Full functional recovery, return to activity, and injury prevention strategies.
With the right treatment, most soft tissue injuries will heal without surgery. However, severe injuries may require more extensive treatment plans.
