Osgood-Schlatter Disease (Knee Pain)

Common treatment strategies for this condition involve:

• Supportive care: Icing the affected area two to four times a day, or after doing physical activity helps soothe the inflammation that results in relieving pain.
• Medication: Taking over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers sometimes, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen helps reduce pain and inflammation, but this also should be recommended by a doctor.
• Resting: Resting the knee often and reducing physical activity helps reduce the pressure exerted on the joints that may cause pain and inflammation.
• Knee braces: Wrapping the knee and wearing a knee brace prevents exertion which results in a relaxed knee joint.
• Physical therapy: Physical therapy helps increase the muscles strength, flexibility and mobility of the knee joints. It also helps reduce the stiffness and tension in the knee-gaps that usually causes inflammation and pain.
• Surgery: The demand for surgery occurs in very rare cases, if the pain is extreme and doesn’t subside. The surgery usually involves the removal of bony overgrowth.
