Sports Injury Treatment

A sports injury is a condition affecting muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, or other soft tissues as a result of physical activity or sports. These injuries can occur in both professional athletes and individuals who exercise regularly for fitness.

Sports injuries are classified into acute injuries, which occur suddenly due to trauma or abrupt movements, and chronic injuries, which develop gradually as a result of repetitive use of certain body parts during physical activity without adequate recovery.

At AIC Physiotherapy, we provide comprehensive sports injury management services, ranging from accurate diagnosis to structured rehabilitation programs, with the goal of restoring movement function and helping patients return to optimal activity levels.

The injuries listed above involve muscles, tendons, or ligaments. If you experience one or more of these conditions, specialized physiotherapy treatment is required to support proper recovery.

Sports Injury Treatment at AIC Physiotherapy

Sports injury treatment at AIC Physiotherapy is carried out in stages and tailored to each patient’s condition. Management begins with diagnostic evaluation and continues through targeted therapy. The treatment stages include:

1. Diagnostic Evaluation

Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK USG) is performed to help doctors and physiotherapists accurately identify the injury location, assess its severity, and determine the most appropriate treatment approach. The use of musculoskeletal ultrasound allows for precise and targeted management from the early stages.

2. Physiotherapy for Sports Injuries

Following diagnosis, patients undergo a physiotherapy program that may include:

• Ultrasound therapy (US) to help reduce pain and inflammation in deeper tissues
• TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) to control and relieve pain
• Ice compresses during the acute phase to reduce inflammation and swelling
• Taping to provide stabilization, joint support, and allow safe movement
• Dry needling to relax tight muscles and accelerate the recovery process
