Soft Tissue Injuries

Soft tissue injuries can range in severity from a simple Grade I strain/sprain to a severe Grade III tear of a muscle, ligament or tendon. Correct and timely assessment and management of soft tissue injuries reduce the amount of time you are restricted in your activities of daily living/ sport/ hobby, improve the tissue alignment during healing thus decreasing the likelihood of re-injury when you return to full activities.

Common conditions treated in this category include:

• sprained/strained ankle or knee ligaments
• tendinopathy of the hip joint
• Achilles tendinopathy
• shin splints
• plantar fasciitis
• rotator cuff strain/ tendinopathy of the shoulder
