Sports Injuries Q & A
WHAT ARE SPORTS INJURIES?
Sports injuries encompass a range of injuries sustained during athletic activities or exercises. From minor strains and sprains to more severe fractures and dislocations, these injuries can affect muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and joints. Engaging in physical activities, particularly high-impact sports or those involving repetitive motions, increases the risk of sustaining a sports injury.
HOW DO SPORTS INJURIES DIFFER FROM OTHER INJURIES?
Unlike injuries resulting from accidents or falls, sports injuries are directly linked to physical activity. Factors such as overuse, improper technique, inadequate warm-up, and insufficient conditioning contribute to their occurrence. However, with proper training, appropriate protective gear, and adherence to safety guidelines, many sports injuries are preventable.
WHEN SHOULD I SEE A DOCTOR?
Persistent pain, discomfort, or limitations in movement following a sports-related activity warrant a visit to Dr. Hammond for evaluation and treatment. Specializing in conditions related to the feet, ankles, and lower extremities—areas particularly vulnerable during sports—Dr. Hammond can accurately assess your condition and recommend an effective treatment plan.
HOW ARE THEY TREATED?
Treatment for sports injuries varies depending on the type and severity of the injury. Minor injuries may benefit from rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Sports injury therapy and physical exercises can help improve strength and flexibility. More serious injuries, such as fractures or torn ligaments, may require immobilization, casting, or surgical intervention. Hammond Foot and Ankle offers a comprehensive range of treatment options tailored to your specific needs, including orthotics to support your feet and ankles during physical activities. Additionally, MLS laser therapy is available to accelerate healing and alleviate pain associated with sports injuries.
