Sports injury refers to a
rather broad scope of conditions, with the common denominator that
they are often sustained by people who were engaging in sporting
activities. While many are caused by accidents, some are quite
predictable, such as the dangers of sustaining muscle cramps on the
field because you didn’t warm up before playing.
These common sporting
injuries are the focus of many medical professionals in the
relatively new branch of medicine called sports medicine. Medical
practitioners like orthopedic doctors, therapists, and even dentists
in this field work to ensure that athletes like you know exactly how
to avoid injuries, as well as help you get better when you do get
one.
Common sports injuries
range from relatively minor conditions like sprains, muscle spasms,
and joint pains, to more severe cases like torn ligaments, broken
knees, and dislocations. There are also two classes of these
injuries: acute, or those occurring suddenly in the middle of a game,
and chronic, which happens over time, when you play constantly.
When the injury you're
suffering goes to the point of severe swelling or extreme pain, or if
you notice that something feels unstable (possibly a dislocated
bone), get medical help immediately. However, anything much less than
this could probably be cured by resting at home, nevertheless it's
always a good idea to at least inform your doctor about it.
