What is the best treatment for Osgood Schlatters?

A period of rest and modifying activity initially is recommended to allow the symptoms to settle.

Some things that may help are:

• The use of an ice pack when sore or just after activity
• Painkillers (as advised by your doctor)
• Reducing the amount of activity you do
• Stretches to loosen up your muscles so that they don’t pull so tightly on your bones (only do these when you are not in pain)
• Strengthening the knee

Osgood Schlatters generally resolves when young people stop growing.
