What types of treatments are used for Sports Injuries?
Many non-surgical treatment approaches are used in sports medicine to reduce the symptoms of injury and promote healing. A splint may be suggested initially to protect and rest the injured limb. Anti-inflammatory drugs are often used together with therapy treatments such as ultrasound, cold packs, or electrical stimulation. A series of exercises are suggested to help tissues move safely while healing. Conservative treatment is indicated for most minor sports injuries.
