Treatments for soft tissue injuries
Soft tissue injuries usually respond well to RICE: rest, ice, compression and elevation. Depending on the severity of your injury you may need to keep the joint still and wear a support. Your GP might also recommend a course of physiotherapy to strengthen your injured joint and avoid future damage.
Time to see a specialist?
If conservative treatments fail to improve your injury, your GP can refer you to Mr Shah for a surgical consultation. Orthopaedic surgery is an effective form of treatment for more complex soft tissue injuries.
In most cases, arthroscopy – a type of keyhole surgery – can repair damaged soft tissues with minimal discomfort and recovery times. Cortisone injections can also help to relieve persistent pain and inflammation.
Tips to avoid a soft tissue injury
You can reduce your risk of a soft tissue injury with targeted exercise to keep your muscles strong. Warming up before any exercise; good technique and footwear are also important, and protective clothing such as knee protectors will give your joints some extra support in the event of a fall or collision.
