Osgood-Schlatter disease is a common condition affecting children and adolescents who participate in sports, leading to pain and swelling just below the knee, where the tendon from the kneecap attaches to the shinbone. At SoftWave by Molotherapy, we provide an innovative and non-invasive treatment solution using SoftWave therapy to alleviate the discomfort associated with Osgood-Schlatter, helping young athletes return to their activities with reduced pain.
Understanding Osgood-Schlatter Disease
Osgood-Schlatter disease typically affects children experiencing growth spurts during puberty. It is characterized by inflammation of the patellar tendon at its insertion on the tibial tuberosity. The symptoms include pain, swelling, and tenderness below the knee, which can be exacerbated by physical activity such as running, jumping, and climbing stairs.
SoftWave Therapy: A Non-Invasive Approach to Pain Relief
SoftWave therapy utilizes shock waves, or acoustic waves, to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes without the need for invasive procedures. This treatment promotes tissue regeneration, increases blood flow, and reduces inflammation, making it particularly effective for managing pain in conditions like Osgood-Schlatter disease.
Our Treatment Protocol for Osgood-Schlatter Disease
Targeted Treatment: SoftWave therapy is applied around the painful area, specifically targeting the tissues affected by the inflammation without directly impacting the growth plate (epiphysis). Since the treatment area is close to the still-open epiphysis, we take great care to avoid direct application to this sensitive growth region.
Safety and Efficacy: While current research does not report any negative effects of SoftWave therapy on the epiphysis, we remain cautious and precise in our application to ensure the safety and health of the growing bones. Our approach is to provide effective pain relief while supporting the natural growth and healing processes in young athletes.
Customized Intensity and Frequency: The intensity of the therapy is tailored to each child’s specific needs and tolerance levels. Treatments are typically scheduled to align with the patient's activity levels and symptom severity, often starting with sessions once or twice a week depending on the individual response.
Benefits of SoftWave Therapy for Osgood-Schlatter Disease
Effective Pain Management: SoftWave therapy has been shown to significantly reduce the pain associated with Osgood-Schlatter by decreasing inflammation and promoting faster healing of the affected tendon.
Non-Invasive and Safe: This therapy is non-invasive, involving no needles, incisions, or sedation, making it an ideal choice for treating pediatric conditions like Osgood-Schlatter disease.
Quick and Convenient Sessions: Each treatment session is quick, generally lasting only about 20-30 minutes, and requires no downtime, allowing young patients to continue with their daily activities, including sports, with minimal interruption.
Treatment Schedule
Frequency of Treatment: The typical treatment schedule for Osgood-Schlatter disease involves sessions once or twice a week, based on the severity of the symptoms and the patient’s initial response to the therapy.
Duration of Treatment: The total number of sessions varies, but many patients experience significant improvement within just a few weeks of starting treatment.
