For most of you who are avid runners or
sports personnel, injuries can be frustrating and at times prove
devastating for your career. Returning back to the sport too soon
after an injury can also prove to be destructive.
This is where Sports Medicine also
known as Sports and Exercise Medicine comes to play. It is only very
recently that this field of medicine has got so much importance. It
refers to the field of medicine concerned with injuries sustained in
sports and exercise, including their prevention,
diagnosis, and treatment.
Concussion- caused by severe head trauma much like a
seizure
Muscle Cramps- a sudden tight, intense pain caused by a
muscle locked in spasm.
ACL Sprains- The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) helps in
comfortable knee movement. It can rupture when the foot is planted
and the knee twists to change direction.
ACL Tears- This causes major pain and causes the knee to
"give out". It can cause the knee to never be the same.
Ankle Sprain- Stretching of ligaments that hold the ankle
bones in place.
Shin Splints- Pulling away or inflammation of the tissue
that attaches the muscles of your lower leg to the shin bone
Muscle Strains- Cause pain and loss of function
The treatment options include analysis of patient’s mobility, exercise testing,
and administering exercises that can improve the range of motion as
well as the general health.
