• Sports Injuries

• Sports injuries are injuries that occur when
  engaging in sports or exercise. Sports injuries
  can occur due to overtraining, lack of
  conditioning, and improper form or technique.
• Bruises, strains, sprains, tears, and broken
  bones can result from sports injuries. Soft
  tissues like muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia,
  and bursae may be affected.
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is another potential
  type of sports injury. Injuries may range from
  mild to severe.

• Pulled Muscle

• Muscle strain is another name for a pulled
  muscle. It occurs when a muscle is
  overstretched and tears. Symptoms of a pulled
  muscle may include
• Pain
• Swelling
• Weakness, difficulty or inability to use the
  muscles
• Muscles in the quadriceps, the calves,
  hamstrings, groin, low back, and shoulder are the
  most common sites for pulled muscles. Minor
  muscle strains resolve with RICE Rest, Ice,
  Compression, and Elevation. Nonsteroidal
  anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may help manage
  pain and swelling as well. More serious muscle
  strains require evaluation and treatment by a
  doctor.

• Torn ACL

• The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) helps hold
  the knee joint together and provides stability. A
  torn ACL is a sports injury that may occur when
  landing the wrong way, changing direction or
  stopping quickly, or from a direct blow to the
  knee. People who suffer a torn ACL may hear a pop
  and then feel their knee no longer functions. 

• Torn MCL

• The medial collateral ligament (MCL) connects the
  upper leg bone (femur) to the larger bone of the
  lower leg (tibia). It is located on the inner
  side of the knee. The MCL is typically injured
  when the knee joint is pushed sideways when
  making a wrong move or by receiving a direct blow
  to the knee.

• Shin Splints

• Shin splint symptoms are throbbing, aching, or
  stabbing pain on the insides of the lower leg.
  Shin splints are a repetitive use injury that may
  occur in runners or those who are beginning to
  exercise. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
  (NSAIDs) can reduce pain and swelling. Bandaging
  the area may help prevent swelling. Flat feet
  increase the risk of shin splints. Orthotics and
  proper athletic shoes may offer support and
  decrease the risk of shin splints.

• Sprained Ankle

• A sprained ankle occurs when the ligaments that
  support the joint become overstretched. Ankle
  sprains may occur when playing sports or doing
  everyday activities. Stepping wrong on an uneven
  surface or stepping in a way that twists or rolls
  the foot may lead to an ankle sprain.

7

• Tennis Elbow

• Tennis elbow is an overuse injury that may be
  associated with playing racket sports. Plumbers,
  painters and those in similar professions are
  also at risk. Tennis elbow involves inflammation
  of the tendons on the outside of the elbow caused
  by small tears. Tennis elbow causes pain and may
  be associated with a weak grip. Rest and
  nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications can
  help alleviate tennis elbow symptoms.

• Concussion

• A concussion is a traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  that occurs when the brain undergoes rapid
  acceleration inside the skull. A direct hit to
  the head or body may cause a concussion. People
  who engage in contact sports like football are at
  increased risk for concussions. The symptoms
  often include headache, loss of consciousness,
  memory loss, sleepiness, nausea, vomiting, and
  more.

• Low Back Pain

• There are many causes of low back pain. Back pain
  may be due to overuse, such as playing one too
  many rounds of golf or lifting heavy weights.
  This kind of back strain usually resolves on its
  own without treatment. In some cases, it may be
  necessary to modify exercise technique or perform
  daily activities in a different way in order to
  reduce the risk of back injury.

• Hip Bursitis

• The hip region contains two major bursae. The one
  located on the outside of the hip is called the
  trochanteric bursa. The other is called the
  ischial bursa which covers the ischial
  tuberosity, more commonly known as the sits
  bones. Treatment of hip bursitis consists of
  avoiding activities that produce symptoms and
  taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
  (NSAIDs) to reduce pain and swelling.

9

• Stress Fracture

• A stress fracture is an overuse injury that
  occurs when muscles are no longer able to absorb
  the impact from physical activity, and a bone
  absorbs the pressure, resulting in a break.
  Stress fractures can occur when increasing
  activity, especially too quickly. 
• The majority of stress fractures occur in the
  lower legs and feet. Women are more prone to
  stress fractures than men. Stress fractures cause
  pain with activity.
• Rest is prescribed to allow a stress fracture to
  heal. Sometimes a special shoe or a brace helps
  decrease stress on the bone, which facilitates
  healing.
