Acute muscle and ligament injuries

Acute muscle and ligament injuries are unfortunately rarely well managed, and often lead to a high rate of recurrence. These types of injuries are typically sports related because it takes a lot of movement and force to create them. Athletes are putting a lot of strain on their bodies and are more prone to this kind of damage.

Usually rehabilitation is the treatment of choice. Because the individuals involved are so active and healthy, rehabilitation takes less time and gets very good results. In rare cases, such as an Achille's tendon rupture, surgery might be needed.
