Ligament Injuries

Ligaments are tough, flexible bands of tissue that connect bones to each other, providing stability to joints. Ligament injuries can occur due to various factors, such as trauma, sudden twisting movements, or overuse. Common ligament injuries include sprains, strains, and tears, which can affect joints like the knees, ankles, and wrists.

Common Causes and Symptoms:

• Trauma: Ligament injuries often result from sudden impacts, falls, or sports-related incidents that force the joint beyond its normal range of motion.
• Overuse: Repetitive stress on a joint, especially during activities that involve rapid direction changes or excessive force, can lead to ligament injuries over time.
• Symptoms: Common symptoms of ligament injuries include pain, swelling, instability, and a reduced range of motion. Severe ligament injuries may cause joint dislocation or instability.

Professional Diagnosis and Treatment at Metro Cure:

Metro Cure is committed to providing specialized care for ligament injuries, starting with a thorough examination by our experienced orthopedic specialists.
