EFFECTIVE OVERUSE INJURY TREATMENT FOR LASTING RELIEF
Overuse Injury Care
Repetitive motions, high levels of activity, or demanding physical tasks can wear down even the strongest bodies. Overuse injuries — caused by accumulated stress on muscles, tendons, and joints — may start off as minor irritations but can develop into serious conditions if left untreated. Early and expert intervention is essential to keep you performing at your peak.
At the Columbus Center for Sports and Regenerative Medicine, Dr. Ahmed Khan specializes in caring for overuse injuries, offering innovative, non-surgical options tailored for your recovery. We’re dedicated to helping you regain optimal function without shortcuts, using advanced treatments to not just address your pain, but also promote healing at its core.

A MODERN APPROACH TO MUSCLE OVERUSE TREATMENT
Relieving Pain and Restoring Mobility
Unlike traumatic injuries, overuse injuries develop over time through small, repeated stresses that outpace the body’s ability to self-heal. Overuse injuries can target various areas of the body, including muscles, tendons, bones, or joints. Common injuries we treat include:
- Shoulder Overuse Injuries: Common among individuals with physically demanding jobs or hobbies that require frequent arm movements, leading to rotator cuff tendonitis, shoulder impingement syndrome, or bursitis.
- Elbow Overuse Injuries: Common in athletes and individuals who perform repetitive arm or wrist movements, which can lead to conditions like tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow.
- Knee Overuse Injuries: Frequently seen in individuals who perform repetitive bending, lifting, kneeling, and jumping motions potentially leading to tendonitis, bursitis, and knee cap (patellar) dysfunction.
- Ankle Overuse Injuries: Often caused by prolonged standing, excessive walking, or improper footwear, resulting in chronic pain and instability.
Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools, such as ultrasound imaging, to assess tissue damage and pinpoint the source of discomfort. Once a diagnosis is made, we develop a customized treatment plan, which may include:
Our approach focuses on long-term relief rather than temporary symptom management. By addressing the underlying causes of overuse injuries, we help patients reduce pain and inflammation without surgery, improve mobility and joint function, prevent recurrent injuries, and restore the strength and flexibility needed for everyday activities.
Our expertise in musculoskeletal health allows us to provide highly effective, non-invasive solutions for overuse injuries. Whether you’re experiencing work-related discomfort, hobby-induced pain, or general repetitive stress injuries, we are committed to helping you heal and regain your quality of life.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an overuse injury?
An overuse injury occurs when repetitive motions put excessive stress on muscles, tendons, or joints over time. Unlike acute injuries that result from sudden trauma, overuse injuries develop gradually and worsen without proper care.
How can I prevent overuse injuries?
To prevent overuse injuries, practice proper ergonomics, take regular breaks, and incorporate stretching and strengthening exercises into your routine. If you notice persistent pain, seeking early intervention can help prevent worsening symptoms.
What are the symptoms of an overuse injury?
Common overuse injury symptoms include gradual pain, swelling, stiffness, reduced range of motion, and tenderness in the affected area. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to worsening discomfort and potential long-term damage.
