Sports Injury Treatments
- Full range orthopaedics treatment for distinctive sports injuries that require different treatments
- Orthopaedics India applies a methodical and personalized approach to each of them
- From cutting edge regenerative therapies to arthroscopic surgeries all addressed here
PRICE Therapy
- Minor injuries initially treated at home – such as strains and sprains
- PRICE therapy used for about 2 to 3 days should also help
P = Protection
- The area provided support to avoid further injury
R = Rest
- Reduce physical activity and exercise to avoid further strain to the area
- A walking stick or crutches help so that the knee and ankle do not bear the weight
- If injury on the shoulder, apply a sling
I = Ice
- Every two to three hours, apply an ice pack for about 10 to 15 minutes to the affected area
- Use a towel to wrap the ice pack so that it does not cause ice burn (if applied directly to skin)
C = Compression
- During the day limit swelling with elastic compression bandages
- Tie it across the affected area to alleviate inflammation
E = Elevate
- Keep the affected part of the body above the area of the heart
- This reduces pain and improves swelling
Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy
- Another revolutionary treatment performed by Dr. G. Vijay Balaji, the best sports injury surgeon in Chennai, at Orthopaedics India

- Sutures bearing stem cells may be applied in the form of a thread-like material coated with stem cells for better healing
- Subsequently, stem cells directly applied to the affected area in the form of an Injection
