Sports injury management at Pain Cure Ortho
Recovery is planned for your injury and your sport, not taken from a fixed chart.
- Clinical assessment – a detailed check of the injured joint, ligaments, tendons and muscles to find exactly what is hurt
- Pain and swelling control – in-house physiotherapy modalities such as IFT, TENS and ultrasound therapy
- Progressive strengthening – supervised resistance exercises and functional movement training to rebuild strength safely
- Return to sport – sport-specific drills and guidance on when it is safe to train and play again
If the assessment shows a serious ligament injury, joint injury or fracture that needs surgery, the doctor will explain the options, perform the surgery when needed and plan your Post-Operative Rehab. For broken bones, see Complex Fracture Surgery.

Frequently asked questions
Should I use ice or heat after an injury?
In the first 1–2 days, rest and a cold pack usually help reduce swelling. If pain or swelling is severe, get the injury checked before treating it yourself.
How long until I can play again?
It depends on the type and severity of the injury. A mild sprain may take a few weeks, while ligament injuries take longer. Your doctor and physiotherapist will tell you when it is safe.
Do all ligament injuries need surgery?
No. Many ligament injuries heal well with physiotherapy and strengthening. Surgery is advised only in selected cases after assessment.
Can I keep training while I recover?
Often you can do some training that does not stress the injured area. Your physiotherapist will guide you on what is safe.
How can I avoid getting injured again?
Complete your full rehab, warm up before play, build strength around the joint and increase training gradually.
