3 Indications Sprains Sprain is an injury to ligaments that is caused by being stretched beyond their normal capacity and possibly torn. A muscular tear caused in the same manner is referred to as a strain. The four symptoms common to all ankle sprains are: Pain Swelling Bruising Joint instability When the ankle is severely sprained, there is commonly a feeling of "wobbling" or "looseness Sprains can occur in any joint (wrist, knee, shoulder, etc.) but are most common in the ankle. Sprains are graded according to the severity of the injury: * Grade I: Mild injury, the ligaments are stretched, but no significant tearing has occurred. * Grade II: Moderate injury, the ligaments may be partially torn. * Grade III: Severe wrist sprain, the ligaments are completely torn, and there may be instability of the joint. 3

4 Indications Muscle Sprains A person who experiences a muscle strain in the thigh will frequently describe a popping or snapping sensation as the muscle tears. Pain is sudden and may be severe. The area around the injury may be tender to the touch, with visible bruising. Common Muscle Tears: Adductor muscles, Quadriceps muscles and Hamstring muscles. Muscle tears are graded 1,2,3 depending on their severity: Grade 1: There is damage to individual muscle fibres (less than 5% of fibres). This is a mild strain which requires 2 to 3 weeks rest. Symptom: Disconfort walking or even on changes of direction. Grade 2: There is more extensive damage, with more muscle fibres involved (from 10% to 90% of fiber torn), but the muscle is not completely ruptured. Full recovery takes approximately 5-8 weeks. Symptom: A suddent sharp pain and minor bruisin and swelling. Grade 3: This is a complete rupture of a muscle. In a sports person this will usually require surgery to repair the muscle. Full recovery can take 3-4 months and, in some instances, surgery may be needed. Sympton: Severe pain during exercise and substatial swelling and bruising. 4

5 Indications Knee Conditions The knee is the area surrounding the knee joint which is one of the largest joints in the body as it has to cope with a lot of pressure. It is important to make an accurate diagnosis of the cause of your symptoms so that appropriate treatment can be directed at the cause. Common Knee Conditions are: Arthritis, Ligament Injueries, Cartilague Injuries, Chondromalacia, Patella Supluxation, Bursitis, etc.. The following conditions are treated by Dr. Goed supports: Patella Subluxation: A subluxing patella (kneecap) is a temporary, partial dislocation of the kneecap from its normal position in the groove in the end of the thigh bone (femur). the kneecap tends to rub against one side of the knee joint, and the cartilage surface become irritated, and knee pain is the result. Chondromalacia: Chondromalacia patella is a common cause of kneecap pain or anterior knee pain. Often called "Runner's Knee," this condition often affects young, otherwise healthy athletes. Chondromalacia is due to an irritation of the undersurface of the kneecap. The undersurface of the kneecap, or patella, is covered with a layer of smooth cartilage. This cartilage normally glides effortlessly across the knee during bending of the joint. Ligament Injuries: Three bones meet to form your knee joint: your thighbone (femur), shinbone (tibia), and kneecap (patella). Your kneecap sits in front of the joint to provide some protection. Bones are connected to other bones by ligaments. There are four primary ligaments in your knee. They act like strong ropes to hold the bones together and keep your knee stable. Types: Collateral and Cruciate Ligaments. 5

6 Indications Tendinitis Tendons are tough bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones. Repetitive activities and overuse can injure tendons and lead to inflammation, pain, and impaired function. This is called tendinitis. Although the most common cause of tendinitis is overuse, it can also be caused by other conditions including inflammatory rheumatic diseases. The risk of getting tendinitis increases with age and is higher in people who routinely perform activities that require repetitive movement that increase stress on susceptible tendons. Tendinitis can affect many different tendons in the body causing a lot of conditions, some of them are: Epicondylitis: It is frequently referred to as "tennis elbow" when there is an injury to the outer tendon and "golfer's elbow" when there is an injury to the inner tendon. However, elbow tendinitis may be caused by a variety of sports or work-related activities that involve heavy use of the wrist and forearm muscles. Rotator Cuff Tendinitis: Rotator cuff tendinitis occurs when the tendons are injured usually as a result of repetitive overhead reaching, pushing, or lifting with outstretched arms (Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres minor and Subcapularis). Biceps Tendinitis: The biceps muscle is located in the front of the upper arm, and is used when lifting, bending the elbow, and reaching up over the head. The upper portion of the biceps muscle attaches to the front of the shoulder in two places, and the lower portion attaches to a bone in the forearm. 6

7 Indications Bracing 1. Compression reduces swelling and retains heat 2. Range of Motion Control protects damaged ligaments and reduces incidence of ligament elongation (instability) 3. Propioception increases joint awareness (non visual sensory nervous system) in order to prevent injuries from happening 7
