Sports Injuries
Sports injuries are a bummer, sidelining you from the activities you love. Knowing the most common ones and how to prevent them can keep you in the game. Here’s a breakdown of the top 7:
- Runner’s Knee: Overuse in runners, cyclists, and swimmers irritates the tendon below the kneecap.
- Knee Ligament Injuries: ACL, MCL, PCL, and meniscus tears are common in football and result from forceful impacts.
- Ankle Sprain: Jumping, running, or turning quickly can twist the ankle and tear tendons/ligaments, plaguing basketball and football players.
- Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow: Repetitive motions cause tendon degeneration on the outside (tennis) or inside (golfer’s) of the elbow.
- Shin Splints: Inactive individuals who suddenly increase workout intensity experience shinbone pain due to inflamed muscles.
- Groin Strain: Sudden direction changes while running can strain the adductor muscles, causing sharp pain and thigh swelling.
- Hamstring Strain: Inadequate warmup or fatigue can strain the muscles behind your thighs.

Prevention is Key
Proper Footwear: Invest in appropriate shoes with good insoles, and replace them regularly.
Surface Matters: Run on softer surfaces like indoor tracks to reduce impact.
Strengthen Those Muscles: Weight training strengthens your shoulders before intense sports.
Stretch It Out: Always stretch thoroughly before and after exercise.
Listen to Your Body: Don’t push through pain or fatigue. Rest and recover fully before resuming activity.
Treatment Options
Medication: Over-the-counter pain relievers like NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) can help manage pain. In chronic cases, neuropathic agents might be added.
Rest and Recovery: Give your injured body time to heal.
Bracing Up: Depending on the injury, braces can restrict movement, control pain, and speed up recovery.
