Common Sports Injuries We Treat
Sports injuries range from acute traumatic events such as ligament ruptures to gradual overuse conditions like tendinopathy and stress fractures. Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. At Hunjan Hospital, Ludhiana, our physiotherapists work with the orthopaedic team to ensure imaging and clinical findings are interpreted together before a rehabilitation plan is finalised.
Treatment combines manual therapy, targeted exercise prescription, taping and bracing where indicated, and sport-specific drills in the later stages of recovery. The aim is not simply pain relief but full restoration of strength, proprioception, and movement quality.
- Knee: ACL, PCL, and meniscal injuries; patellofemoral pain; IT band syndrome
- Shoulder: rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingement, labral injuries
- Ankle and foot: ankle sprains, Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis
- Hamstring, quadriceps, and calf muscle strains
- Elbow: lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow)
- Stress fractures and overuse injuries in runners and field-sport athletes
Early and accurate management of sports injuries reduces the likelihood of re-injury and prolonged time away from your sport.
