Sports Injuries

Common Sports Injuries

Physical therapy is highly effective in treating many common sports injuries, including:

Ankle Sprains: Occur when ankle ligaments are stretched or torn due to sudden twists or impacts. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and instability, which can affect balance, mobility, and weight-bearing activities, impacting both daily function and sports performance.

Hamstring Strains: Result from overstretching or tearing the muscles at the back of the thigh, often caused by sudden acceleration or deceleration. This injury leads to pain, swelling, and reduced flexibility, limiting range of motion and making walking, running, or jumping difficult.

Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Caused by repetitive stress or overuse of the forearm muscles and tendons, resulting in pain and inflammation on the outer elbow. This condition can reduce grip strength, fine motor skills, and the ability to perform forearm and wrist movements.

ACL Injuries: Involve stretching or tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament inside the knee, typically due to sudden direction changes, jumping, or landing. Symptoms include knee instability, pain, and swelling, which affect mobility, stability, and agility.

Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome): Caused by repetitive stress on the shinbone and surrounding tissues, especially in runners and athletes in high-impact sports. It leads to pain, tenderness, and inflammation along the inner lower leg, making walking, running, and jumping challenging.
