Muscle Strains and Sprains

Hamstring, quadriceps, and calf injuries.

For each injury, Dr. Savadekar will assess the severity and decide the best course of action, whether that’s non-surgical treatments or surgical intervention.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options

When possible, Dr. Savadekar prefers to start with non-surgical options. These methods are effective for treating mild to moderate injuries and are designed to get you back on track faster. Non-surgical treatments are also ideal for injury prevention and rehabilitation.

Physical Therapy

Rehabilitation is key to recovery. Dr. Savadekar works closely with expert physiotherapists to create personalised rehab programs that focus on strengthening the muscles around the injured joint, improving mobility, and ensuring long-term stability.

PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

For tendon and ligament injuries like rotator cuff tears or Achilles tendonitis, Dr. Savadekar may recommend PRP injections. This treatment uses your body’s own platelets to promote healing by stimulating tissue repair.

Corticosteroid Injections

For more severe pain and inflammation, steroid injections can provide quick relief, particularly for conditions such as tendinitis or bursitis. These injections can also help manage inflammation around the joint, speeding up recovery.

Bracing and Support

Dr. Savadekar uses specially designed braces to support joints and reduce strain. This is particularly effective for knee injuries or ligament strains, as the brace allows healing while limiting unnecessary movement.

Biomechanical Evaluation and Corrective Exercises

For overuse injuries or recurrent muscle strains, Dr. Savadekar evaluates your biomechanics to identify any weaknesses or improper movement patterns that could be contributing to your injuries. He then designs corrective exercises to prevent future injuries.

Recovery for Non-Surgical Treatments:

Surgical Treatment Options

For more severe injuries or when non-surgical treatments have failed, surgical intervention may be necessary. 

Dr. Savadekar specialises in arthroscopic surgeries and joint replacement procedures, focusing on minimally invasive techniques that promote faster recovery and better long-term outcomes.

Dr. Savadekar uses arthroscopic surgery to treat injuries in the shoulder, knee, ankle, and hip.

 

This technique involves making small incisions and using a camera to view and repair the joint, resulting in less tissue damage, minimal scarring, and faster recovery.

When joint preservation is no longer an option, joint replacement may be required, especially for knee and hip joints affected by arthritis or severe injuries.

 

Dr. Savadekar’s Joint Replacement Approach:

Dr. Savadekar has pioneered the anchorless rotator cuff repair technique in India. This advanced method repairs the rotator cuff tendon without using anchors, helping preserve bone structure and reducing post-surgical complications.

Joint Preservation: Dr. Savadekar’s Philosophy

Dr. Savadekar is a firm believer in joint preservation and aims to minimise the need for joint replacement

He focuses on repairing the joint through advanced techniques, such as stem cell therapy, PRP therapy, and arthroscopy, whenever possible. 

By preserving the natural joint, he helps reduce the risk of complications down the road and ensures better long-term mobility.
