What is a Sports-Related Injury?

Sports-related injuries can range from mild to severe and can affect various parts of the body, including muscles, ligaments, tendons, bones, and joints. Injuries in sports can occur due to a variety of factors such as contact with other players, overuse of a specific body part, improper technique, inadequate warm-up or conditioning, or accidents during play.

Sports-related injuries can manifest in different ways. They can include sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, concussions, tendinitis, stress fractures, and more. These injuries can cause pain, swelling, limited range of motion, instability, and decreased athletic performance.

Common sports-related injuries:

Sprains: Ligament sprains occur when the ligaments, which connect bones and stabilize joints, are stretched or torn. Ankle sprains are particularly common in sports.
Strains: Muscle strains happen when muscles or tendons are stretched or torn. Hamstring strains and groin strains are examples of common muscle strains in sports.
Fractures: Fractures refer to broken bones, which can occur due to high-impact collisions, falls, or repetitive stress on the bones.
Knee Injuries: Knee injuries, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, meniscus tears, or patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner's knee), are common in sports that involve quick direction changes, pivoting, or jumping.
Tendinitis: Tendinitis is the inflammation of a tendon, often caused by repetitive movements or overuse. Tennis elbow and Achilles tendinitis are common examples.
Overuse Injuries: Overuse injuries occur due to repetitive stress on a particular body part or joint. They can include conditions like tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, shin splints, or stress fractures.

Prompt and appropriate treatment for sports injuries is crucial to promote healing and prevent further complications. Physical therapy plays a key role in the recovery process, focusing on reducing pain, restoring flexibility and strength, and improving overall function. Your physical therapist at Movement Redefined will develop a customized treatment plan to treat your injury.
