Sports and injuries. More than 10 million\u00a0sports injuries<\/a>\u00a0are treated each year. The two terms seem to be synonymous sometimes. But they don\u2019t have to be. With the increased knowledge about injury and prevention as well as the technology to produce protective gear many of today\u2019s\u00a0sports injuries<\/a>\u00a0are actually preventable.<\/p>\n

There are common injuries that doctors treat each year. Some of the more common sports injuries include stress fractures, shin splints, ankle sprains,\u00a0tendonitis<\/a>, hamstring injuries, and head injuries.<\/p>\n

Prevention of sports injuries starts with knowledge of the particular sport and a good warm up and cool down routine. Muscles that are cold and asked to perform quick blasts of powerful moves are much more likely to pull or strain then muscles that are warmed up and ready to work.<\/p>\n

But warming up is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to prevention. And sports injuries aren\u2019t necessarily caused by sporting activities. For instance you can get tennis elbow from carrying a suitcase, turning a screw or any other chronic use of a twisting motion to the arm.<\/p>\n

Depending upon the sport that youre playing prevention moves on to protective gear that is clean, in good condition, fits correctly and is worn correctly. Thigh pads in football that move up over the groin or down over the knee don\u2019t do their job and instead place the player at added risk for injury both from an opponent and from themselves as their bodies attempt to move past and around the equipment that is impeding their muscle movement.<\/p>\n

There are two distinct types of\u00a0sports injuries<\/a>. The first, acute traumatic injuries, are best prevented with protective gear discussed above as well as the proper use of warm ups and cool downs. Warming up and cooling down will help to protect your muscles and tendons from becoming injured from bursts of physical activity when they are cold. These burst increase your chances of sustaining a stretched, sprained or\u00a0strained muscle<\/a>\u00a0or tendon. The traumatic injuries also include head injuries, muscle pulls,\u00a0abrasions<\/a>\u00a0and lacerations.<\/p>\n

The second, and more common,\u00a0sports injury<\/a>\u00a0is an overuse or chronic injury. These injuries happen from over using specific muscle groups or tendons and ligaments. These types of sports injuries include shin splints, stress fractures, tennis elbow, and\u00a0tendonitis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Taking care of your\u00a0sports injury<\/a>\u00a0is important to getting back into the game. Depending upon the sport you play and the severity of the injury will determine how long you\u2019ll be unable to participate. You may have to see a doctor to receive appropriate diagnosis and treatment. For instance if your pain increases progressively with activity, you have pain, swelling, limping or loss of range of motion you should see a doctor. Anything that results in numbness, intense pain or stiffness and loss of flexibility must be taken seriously.<\/p>\n

When you are evaluating your\u00a0sports injury<\/a>\u00a0you must know the difference between being sore after an intense workout and\u00a0chronic pain<\/a>\u00a0that continues over a great length of time.<\/p>\n

If you suspect you have a\u00a0sports injury<\/a>\u00a0you should stop what you\u2019re activity and rest the injury. Call a doctor and get an opinion that is based on experience and diagnostic testing such as x-rays and MRIs.<\/p>\n

Sports injuries can side line you from your favorite sport or even daily living activities if they aren\u2019t diagnosed and treated in a timely fashion. But if you begin to rest the injured area, see a physician and start your rehabilitation as recommended you\u2019ll be well on your way to recovery.<\/p>\n
