How Do You Treat Osgood-Schlatter Disease?

0

Osgood-Schlatter disease is a common condition usually occurs in sport oriented children from the age of 8 to 15. This disease often resolves itself on its own, but not until the child’s growth spurt completes, which can take months to years. See your doctor. If he diagnoses Osgood-Schlatter disease, treatment occurs mostly in the home. Anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen are used in conjunction with ice and limited activity. Consider other measures if the pain does not subside with treatment or becomes chronic. Casting the leg is helpful when limiting activity doesn’t alleviate the pain. Perform stretching and strengthening exercises. Strengthening the hamstring and quadriceps along with anti-inflammatory medications and activity modification can prevent the condition from flaring and speed healing. Activity modification with the addition of padding, braces and wraps made for Osgood-Schlatter disease can support the knee, decreasing healing time. Try all other treatments b
