Sports Injury

Sports injuries are commonly caused by overuse, direct impact, or the application of force that is greater than the body part can structurally withstand. An injury that occurs as a direct result of some sudden event, such as a sprained knee caused by twisting awkwardly, is known as an acute injury. In contrast, an injury that is caused by overusing the same muscle group or joints is known as a chronic injury. Whether your sports injury is acute or chronic, if pain persists, you should see a specialist because your injury may be more severe than you think.

Different types of sports injuries include:

Ankle Sprains
Achilles Tendonitis
Back Pain
Concussion
Cuts and Abrasions
Groin Strain
Hamstring Strain
Knee Joint Injury
Runner’s Knee
Shin Splints
Shoulder Injury
Stress Fracture
Tennis/Golf Elbow

Poor fitness, technique and structural abnormalities also contribute to the development of sports injuries. Physiotherapy and biomechanic analysis can help to prevent injuries and keep you on the go.
