Understanding what sports medicine treats
Sports medicine addresses injuries that develop during or from physical activity. It could be an impact injury on the field, something sudden and acute, to a pesky problem that develops over time from repetitive strain.
While there are many different types of sports injuries, some of the most frequently experienced include:
- Muscle strains, tears, or swellings
- Knee injuries like ACL and MCL tears
- Conditions such as tendinitis and bursitis
- Achilles tendon issues
- Bone fractures and dislocations
- Shoulder troubles, including rotator cuff and labrum tears
These types of injuries can trigger pain that ranges from sharp and debilitating to a dull ache that disrupts your daily activities. Sports injuries often affect your mobility, performance during sports or physical activity, and even the way your body naturally moves.
If you have an injury that’s affecting your ability to participate in the activities you enjoy, your performance, or your general mobility, it’s time to see a provider at Interventional Pain and Regenerative Medicine Specialists.
