Sports Injury
Treatment
What Are Sports Injuries?
Sports injuries refer to damage to muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, or joints sustained during physical activity, sports, or exercise. These can range from minor sprains to complex ligament tears and fractures. Timely diagnosis and targeted treatment are essential to ensure full recovery and prevent long-term damage.
Who Needs Sports Injury Treatment?
-
Athletes or active individuals with pain, swelling, or reduced function after activity
-
Those recovering from sudden injuries like ankle sprains, muscle tears, or fractures
-
Patients with chronic overuse conditions such as tendonitis, runner’s knee, or tennis elbow
-
People looking to safely return to sports after an injury or surgery
How Does the Surgery Work?
Accurate Diagnosis
-
Physical exam and sports-specific assessments
-
Imaging (X-ray, Ultrasound, MRI) to identify soft tissue or bone damage
Customized Treatment Plan
-
Acute Care: RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation), bracing, and medications
-
Rehabilitation: Physiotherapy to restore range of motion, strength, and endurance
-
Advanced Procedures: Injections (PRP, corticosteroids), minimally invasive surgery, arthroscopy if needed
Performance Rehab & Return to Play
-
Sports-specific drills and neuromuscular training
-
Gradual conditioning and return-to-sport timeline
Long-Term Monitoring
-
Ongoing check-ins to track recovery and prevent recurrence
-
Education on warm-up, cool-down, and sports ergonomics
Recovery Time
-
Mild Sprains/Strains: 1–3 weeks with physiotherapy
-
Moderate Injuries (e.g., Meniscus Tears): 4–8 weeks
-
Surgical Recovery (e.g., ACL Reconstruction): 4–6 months with progressive return to sports
Common Sports Injuries
-
Ligament injuries (ACL, MCL tears)
-
Meniscus tears
-
Shoulder dislocation and rotator cuff injuries
-
Ankle sprains and Achilles tendon injuries
-
Tennis elbow / Golfer’s elbow
-
Stress fractures and shin splints
-
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner’s knee)
-
Muscle strains (hamstring, calf, groin)
