Understanding the Causes of Your Soft Tissue Injury

Soft tissue injuries can be categorized as either an acute injury or an overuse injury.

Acute Injury: This type of injury is often caused by a sudden trauma (like a fall or blow to the body). Examples include strains, sprains or contusions.
Overuse Injury: This injury can occur over time and most commonly in athletic or repetitive actions where an injury does not have the opportunity to heal naturally. Common examples include tendinitis or bursitis.

Diagnosing Your Soft Tissue Injury

Diagnosing a soft tissue injury will begin with a physical examination where your physician or orthopedic specialist will evaluate you for any serious injury. It’s imperative to have a thorough history and physical examination for a sufficient diagnosis.*

Your doctor will inspect the area for tenderness, gross defects on the bone or tendon, deformity, swelling and a number of other indicators of a soft tissue injury. They may even need to use imaging tests such as an X-ray, MRI or CT scan for further diagnosis.*

Treatment Options For Soft Tissue Injuries

Patients who experience a soft-tissue injury, with or without other musculoskeletal injuries, can benefit from conservative measures which can be recommended by a pain management specialist or physical therapist. It’s good to practice rest, ice compression, elevation and immobilization.*

If you require surgery, it may be done with a minimally invasive surgical procedure called arthroscopy. This can often be used to repair ligaments or menisci in the knee.*
