Causes of knee ligament stretchingThe knee joint is a large joint of the body, held steady by a system of ligaments, joint capsules, menisci and muscles surrounding it.
The ligament system includes the anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament and two lateral ligaments. The two very strong lateral ligaments, along with the anterior cruciate ligament, play an important role in keeping the tibia from sliding forward relative to the femur, and the posterior cruciate ligament functions to keep the tibia from sliding too far forward. behind when the knee joint moves.
Knee ligament sprains are mainly caused by sports injuries (football, volleyball, running, jumping, etc.), traffic accidents, work accidents, and daily life accidents that cause direct impact to the knee. , or torsion injury (when running, riding a motorbike... and suddenly falling, the patient uses one leg to stand and support, leading to a torsion injury).

Cold compress: Hot swelling stage and after exercise

Shortwave therapy: Anti-inflammatory effect, reduces edema, stimulates regeneration of damaged tissue

Electroconvulsive therapy: Muscle relaxant, pain relief, increased circulation; Inhibits pain transmission

Ultrasound therapy: Anti-inflammatory effects (tendinitis, myositis, bursitis...), increases circulation, promotes the healing process of damage (bones, ligaments...), prevents fibrous adhesions, soft tissue ossification...
