Sports participation brings many benefits, but it can also lead to injuries that affect performance and daily life. At SportsDocs Family Chiro in Tempe, AZ, we provide personalized care to help athletes recover quickly and safely. Understanding the most frequent injuries and how they happen is the first step toward prevention and healing.
Sprains and Strains
Sprains and strains are among the most frequent injuries seen in athletes. A sprain occurs when ligaments tear or stretch, while a strain affects muscles or tendons. These injuries often happen during quick changes in direction, awkward landings, or overuse. Pain, swelling, and limited movement usually follow, but with proper care, most people regain strength and flexibility without long-term issues.
Overuse Injuries
Repetitive movements can lead to overuse injuries such as tendinosis. This condition causes the tendons, especially around the shoulders, elbows, wrists, and knees, to become inflamed. It often develops gradually and can be frustrating for athletes who continue to push through the pain. SoundWave, High Powered Laser, Microcurrent and Chinese Herbal Patches can significantly help with the pain and inflammation. Dr. Porman @ SportsDocs can evaluate you to help prevent further damage.
Fractures and Concussions
More serious injuries, like fractures and concussions, require immediate attention. Fractures happen when the bones break, usually due to falls or direct impact, while concussions can be caused by blows to the head that disrupt brain function. Both injuries demand careful diagnosis and treatment to avoid complications and support full recovery.
