Knee Sprain & Strain Treatment

About

A sprain or strain to the knee is a painful injury that can leave you vulnerable to further injury and keep you away from your favorite activities. Thankfully, conservative modes of care that one can do from the comfort of one’s home usually suffice for strained or sprained knee treatment. While there is a difference between a sprained knee and a strained knee (a sprain refers to a stretched or torn ligament, while a strain is a similar injury to either a muscle or tendon), treatment for a knee sprain or strain is largely the same. The severity of your injury will dictate the duration and mode of treatment, but generally speaking, the initial goal of treatment is to reduce swelling and pain via rest, ice, compression, elevation or massage.

This typically involves an exercise program to prevent stiffness and restore flexibility and strength to your knee.
