Paul Benfanti are board-certified sports medicine specialists at Children's Orthopaedic and Scoliosis Surgery Associates, renowned for their high quality care in the treatment of pediatric over-use injuries. [chortho.com]
Treatment for Sinding-Larsen-Johansson disease Most patients with this condition heal well with appropriate physical therapy. The success rate of treatment is largely dictated by patient compliance. [athleticedge.biz]
This strategy was, again, used for only one specific patient and is not fully researched. [9] Medical Treatment Before medical treatment can be considered, conservative treatment has to be performed starting with limiting sports activities and anti-inflammatory [physio-pedia.com]
In both cases, conservative treatment alleviated the symptoms and yielded good outcomes. [jstage.jst.go.jp]
Initial treatment for overuse injuries includes R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compression, and elevation). [stlouischildrens.org]
Prognosis
