Overuse is a major cause of sports injuries. It happens when athletes train harder and pushes beyond their permitted capacity. It would result in a sprain in their ankles, muscle pullups, and other injuries. These types of injuries, including sprains, muscle tears, tendonitis, knee and shoulder injuries caused by overstraining, are treated through specific methods. However, surgery is required in some cases.
Physical Therapy Options are suitable to treat injuries to tendons, muscles, or ligaments, including:
- Achilles tendonitis
- Patellar tendonitis
- Pubalgia
- Epicondylitis (tennis and golfers elbow)
- Rotator cuff tendonitis (supraspinatus)
- Plantar fasciitis
- Trochanteritis
- Iliotibial band syndrome
- Muscle tears
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is an effective treatment to stimulate healing of damaged tissues, such as:
- Tendon ruptures
- Chronic tendinopathies
- Ligament injuries
- Muscle injuries
Both PRP and Hyaluronic acid (HA) injections can reduce pain and revive the joint function of:
- Knees
- Ankles
- Hips
