Common Sports Injuries and Their Impact
Overuse Injuries
Caused by repetitive stress on muscles, tendons, or joints, overuse injuries often present as gradual pain, tenderness, and swelling. Common examples include shin splints, runner’s knee, and swimmer’s shoulder.
Acute Injuries
These sudden injuries can occur from falls, impacts, or awkward movements. Examples include ankle sprains, muscle strains, and ligament tears (ACL, MCL). These injuries often cause immediate pain, swelling, and difficulty performing specific movements.
Concussions
A brain injury caused by a blow to the head, concussions can significantly impact balance, coordination, and cognitive function. Symptoms can include headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. If you suspect a concussion, it’s crucial to seek medical attention immediately. IMPORTANT: If you suspect you have had a concussion, but have not yet been diagnosed by a physician, Alabama law requires that you seek attention from a qualified physician and be cleared for participation in physical therapy before you may begin.
