KNEE SPRAIN: CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENTS
A knee sprain is when one of the four ligaments is stretched and torn.
How can you tell if you have a knee sprain?
ligament pain
tumefiere
instability
difficulty bending and extending the knee
CAUZE
Any movement that overstretches the knee can result in knee sprain. It can affect one or more ligaments depending on the severity of the injury:
Anterior cruciate ligament sprain: Occurs in sudden twisting movements and hyperextension (posterior bending of the knee;
Posterior Cruciate Ligament Sprain: Occurs as a result of forces applied to the knee when it is bent. Examples: falling on the knee when the knee is bent, car crash when the knee hits the dashboard;
Medial collateral ligament sprain: It is caused when a force is applied to the outside of the knee, pushing the knee inward;
Lateral collateral ligament sprain: It is caused when a force is applied to the inside of the knee;
If the force is high enough, several ligaments, even knee cartilage, can tear during impact. The most common injury, in which more than one joint structure is affected, is anterior cruciate ligament sprain plus medial collateral ligament tear.
Sprains can be classified according to the level of severity of joint component damage:
Grade 1 : a few fibers (less than 10%) are injured, broken. Usually heals naturally.
Grade 2 : many fibers are torn, but the ligament is still intact.
Grade 3 : the ligament is completely torn. This type of injury may require surgery.
SIMPTOME
Pain on the inside of the knee: this could signal a torn medial collateral ligament.
Pain on the side of the knee: could indicate a tear in the lateral ligament.
Pain over a large area and instability: anterior or posterior ligament rupture.

We have excellent experience with knee sprain patients. For this reason, we have researched the most effective way of treatment and the techniques we have invented from the multidisciplinary approach of combining different methods have worked best with players and sedentary people.
We apply the combined treatment methods of osteopathy, manual therapy, physiotherapy and physiotherapy. We have a great success with this treatment and the treatment time has been reduced compared to classical physical therapy techniques.
