Joint Injuries

Joint injuries happen when there’s damage to the bones, ligaments, cartilage, or muscles around a joint. These injuries are common in the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, and ankle — especially in people who play sports, lift heavy weights, or have accidents.

Common Causes of Joint Injuries:

  • Sudden falls or trauma
  • Sports injuries
  • Repetitive movements
  • Lifting heavy objects
  • Poor posture or weak muscles
Symptoms:

  • Pain in the joint
  • Swelling or stiffness
  • Difficulty moving the joint
  • Clicking or locking sensation
  • Feeling unstable or weak

Faqs

Yes! Physiotherapy helps reduce pain, improve joint movement, and speed up healing without surgery in many cases.

In the early stage, rest is important. But once pain reduces, guided exercises help strengthen and heal the joint.

Recovery depends on the type and severity of the injury. Minor injuries may take a few days, while others need several weeks of therapy.

No. The treatment is gentle and safe, and pain is always kept under control.
