Knee injuries

RELIV Protocol for management of Sports injuries
- The RICE method is a common treatment regimen for sports injuries for the initial 24-36 hours. It stands for:
- Rest
- Ice
- Compression
- Elevation
It can help reduce swelling and prevent additional pain and bruising in the early days after a sports injury.
- Medications: Some anti-inflammatory medications are generally prescribed for 2-3 weeks to reduce pain and swelling
- Braces and binders: If we feel patient needs to rest the involved joints, we generally advice some braces to immobilize the joints for 3-4 weeks to give the joint adequate environment to heal.
Inspite of above efforts if patient still feels pain or there is restriction in patient functionality, we advise them for targeted treatments
Targeted treatments
- Ultrasound guided injections
- Ultrasound guided Prolotherapy
- Platelet rich plasma therapy
- Physical rehabilitation: Physical rehabilitation plays a big role in bringing the patients of Sports injuries to normal life and function. With the help of our trained Physical therapists, we develop an individually tailored treatment regimen, which along with Injection therapy greatly reduces the time to recovery and helps them get back to their sports at the earliest.
