Sports Injury Treatment

Sports injuries can be described in two main categories:

• Sudden injury – the result of a sudden impact or an awkward movement

• Overuse injury – an injury that develops overtime due to overuse of particular body parts or poor technique such as tennis or golfers elbow.

Affected areas of injury usually include:

• Muscles

• Bones

• Joints (elbow, hips, ankles and knees)

• Tendons (tough, rubbery cords that link the muscles to the bones)

• Cartilage (tough, flexible tissue that surrounds the surface of joints, allowing bones to move over one another)

• Ligaments (thick bands of tissue that connect one bone to another)
