Anyone is at risk of an injury. When ligaments are under increased pressure, stress or overuse from activity, they are at risk of damage. For example, landing on an ankle wrong, falling on your wrists, or excess pressure on your knees. Ligaments are also prone to wear and tear, putting the elderly at risk.
Most of the time, a ligament can heal naturally on its own and with RICE therapy protocol (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation).
Treatments for milder injuries include using a combination of bracing, physical therapy and medication. Severe injuries require examination by a doctor to diagnose the necessity for surgery. In most cases, surgery with orthopaedic surgeons is considered a last resort.
Ligament reconstruction surgery involves repairing a damaged ligament or replacing the ligament with a healthy tendon. Patients can also work with BodyWorX physiotherapists to help reduce pain, restore circulation, and strengthen the surrounding area to support the tissue.
Patients who had surgery can gradually return to a normal level of activity in time.
