“Physiotherapy Relieves Pain From Spor ts Injuries Naturally!” Finding Relief FromKnee, Leg&ACL Injuries
In young soccer players, Osgood-Schlatter Disease is a common cause of knee pain. Sever’s disease is a common source of heel pain. In the lower leg, tibial shaft fractures are uncommon, but they represent the most severe type of lower extremity trauma in soccer. Athletes fear the possibility of an ACL tear from playing on the field. When you tear the ACL, you may feel a sharp, intense pain or hear a loud “pop” or snap. You might not be able to walk on the injured leg because you can’t support your weight through your knee joint. Usually, the knee will swell immediately (within minutes to a few hours), and you might feel that your knee “gives way” when you walk or put weight on it. Thankfully, physiotherapists havemuch experience with healing patients with these injuries. Once an ACL tear has been diagnosed, you will work with your physiotherapist to decide if you can recover without surgery. If you don’t have surgery, your physiotherapist will work with you to restore your muscle strength, agility, and balance, so you can return to your regular activities. Your physiotherapist may teach you ways to modify your physical activity in order to put less stress on your knee. Your treatment programmay includemovement exercises. During your first week, your physiotherapist will help you begin to regain motion in the knee area, and teach you gentle exercises you can do at home. The focus will be on regaining full movement of your knee. The early exercises help with increasing blood flow, which also helps reduce swelling.
