Knee sprain Treatment in Sharjah

Al Resalah Specialty Clinic provides advanced orthopedic and physiotherapy treatment for Knee Sprains (Grade I or II) in Sharjah. Our integrated approach focuses on pain relief, reducing swelling, promoting healing, and restoring full strength and stability to your knee, helping you return to your daily activities and sports safely.

What is a Knee Sprain?

A knee sprain occurs when the ligaments that connect the bones in your knee are stretched or torn. Ligaments are tough, fibrous bands of tissue that provide stability to the knee joint. Knee sprains are commonly caused by sudden twists, impacts, or hyperextension of the knee during sports activities or accidents.

Knee sprains are classified by their severity:

  • Grade I (Mild): The ligament is stretched, but not torn. There may be some tenderness and mild swelling, but the joint is stable.

  • Grade II (Moderate): The ligament is partially torn. There is more pain, swelling, and tenderness, and some instability in the joint may be felt.

Symptoms of a knee sprain typically include:

  • Pain in the knee joint 🦵

  • Swelling and tenderness around the injured area 💧

  • Bruising (may develop later) 🩸

  • Stiffness or limited range of motion 🚶‍♀️

  • For Grade II, a feeling of instability or “giving way” in the knee

Our goal is to accurately assess the extent of the sprain and provide a comprehensive treatment plan that supports healing and prevents future re-injury.

Our Integrated Treatment Approach

Our comprehensive treatment program for Grade I and II knee sprains combines the expertise of our orthopedic specialists with targeted advanced physiotherapy.

Orthopedic Management

Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation by our orthopedic specialist. They will:

  • Conduct a detailed physical examination to assess the stability of your knee ligaments and identify the specific ligament(s) involved.

  • Discuss your injury mechanism and symptoms to understand the extent of the sprain.

  • Order diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays (to rule out fractures) or an MRI (to visualize soft tissue damage), if necessary, to confirm the diagnosis and severity of the sprain.

  • Develop a personalized non-surgical plan that may include:

    • R.I.C.E. Protocol: Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation to manage initial pain and swelling.

    • Medication: Prescribing anti-inflammatory drugs to help manage pain and inflammation.

    • Bracing or Taping: To provide support and protect the injured ligament during the initial healing phases and rehabilitation.

Advanced Physiotherapy

Our advanced physiotherapy program is the cornerstone of our treatment for knee sprains. Our expert physiotherapists will guide you through a tailored program designed to:

  • Reduce Pain and Swelling: Utilizing therapeutic modalities like ice, compression, ultrasound, or electrotherapy, along with gentle manual therapy techniques to alleviate discomfort.

  • Restore Range of Motion: Gradually introducing specific exercises to regain full, pain-free movement in the knee joint.

  • Strengthen Supporting Muscles: Focusing on strengthening the muscles around the knee, especially the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. Strong muscles provide dynamic stability to the knee and reduce stress on the healing ligaments.

  • Improve Balance and Proprioception: Incorporating exercises that challenge balance and body awareness, which are crucial for retraining the nervous system to protect the knee during movement and prevent re-injury.

  • Gradual Return to Activity: Guiding you through progressive exercises that mimic your daily activities and sports-specific movements, ensuring a safe and effective return to your desired activity level.
