люблю англоязычную Википедию за то, что в ней бывают очень неплохие статьи на медицинские темы и их проще цитировать.

Treatment[edit]
Treatment is generally conservative with rest, ice, and specific exercises being recommended.[10] Simple pain killers may be used if required such as acetaminophen (paracetamol) or ibuprofen. Typically symptoms resolve as the growth plate closes.[10] Physiotherapy is generally recommended once the initial symptoms have improved to prevent recurrence.[10] Surgery may rarely be used in those who have stopped growing yet still have symptoms.[10]
Physiotherapy[edit]
Recommended efforts include exercises to improve the strength of the quadriceps, hamstring and gastrocnemius muscles.[10]
Bracing or use of an orthopedic cast to enforce joint immobilization is rarely required and does not necessarily give quicker resolution. Sometimes, however, bracing may give comfort and help reduce pain as it reduces strain on the tibial tubercle.[11
