No single treatment has been proven to be totally effective in the treatment of this condition. It is best treated by a combination of different treatments. The principles of treatment will involve:
- Controlling pain and inflammation using physiotherapy techniques and non steroidal anti-inflamatories
- Encouraging healing using deep transverse friction therapy and electrotherapy
- Restoring flexibility and strength and eliminating the predisposing factors previously mentioned.
In the early stages before you have managed to contact your chartered physiotherapist use ice. 20 minutes at a time is more effective than prolonged period
