Frequently asked questions
The five most common sports injuries are:
1) Strains:
Strains, also called pulled muscles are the overstretching or tearing of muscles or tendons (tissue connecting muscle to bone). Strains mostly occur in the lower back area or the back of the thigh. The symptoms include swelling, pain, and inability to move the affected part of the body.
2) Sprains:
Sprains are caused by the twisting, turning and tearing up of ligaments (tissues that connect bone to bone). The ankle sprain is the most common type of sprain occurring in sports persons followed by knee, wrist, and elbow sprains. Sprains can be more painful than strains and take a longer time to heal.
3) Knee injuries:
The knee joint is very complicated and it tolerates lots of wear and tears during most athletic practices. Cartilage tear, tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), fracture, and dislocation are some of the common knee injuries. Knee injuries can be very painful and sometimes requires surgery.
4) Tennis elbow:
In tennis elbow, the connecting tissue of the forearm and elbow gets infuriated or irritated. It does not happen only in tennis players but can occur in any sport in which the repetitive motion of arms and wrists are required. The primary symptom is pain which usually occurs on the outer side of the elbow.
