All About Sports Injury And Its Management

Being healthy and active has several advantages but sports and games comes with the risk of injuries. Though there are several precautions that one can take while involving in any sports or games, but accidents can happen at any time. So one should always know the basic steps to be taken in the event of any injury.

In the event of any sports injury mostly muscles, ligaments, joints and tendons are the first things to get affected and torn. The first step that you should take is 'immediately consult a physician or expert' to conduct a basic diagnosis. Sports injury are mainly of two types- 

• Acute injury that leads to bruises and sprain in body
• Overuse injuries that lead to breakage of bones, joints and muscles.

Now let's check what the different types of injuries people often have been.

Common injuries that sports people often go through

• Ankle and joint Sprain Injury- Sprains occur when the tissues, ligaments and tendons get stretched and torn. Sprains can happen in ankles, knees and wrist.
• Knee injury like ACL Tear- This happens when the important ligaments of the knee joint get torn due to sudden stress, blow or twist.
• Fractures- Bone fractures are one of the most common sports injuries. If there is a direct blow or twist on the bones, the bone can break or get dislocated from its actual position. Surgery is the best option to treat fractures.
• Groin Pull- The inner thigh muscle can get highly affected by side-to-side motion. The bruising in the muscle is treated with ice compression and it might take up to 4 weeks to recover.
• Tennis elbow.

What is done as a very first step?

For most of the injuries putting ice compression and using splints and elastic wraps are the best treatment option. But if the injury is an acute one, a surgical procedure is the last option.
