Injuries are roadblocks to an athlete’s journey to success. Sports injuries are injuries that happen in athletic activities. It may happen while training or while in game play. They can also result from prolonged use of a particular body part or when a certain body part is strained.
Athletes who engage in contact sports usually experience traumatic injuries. These injuries are usually concussions abrasions, bruises, sprain, contusion, wounds and fractures.
Other injuries which are referred to as repetitive stress injuries (RSI) are defined as “injuries to the musculoskeletal and nervous systems that may be caused by repetitive tasks, forceful exertions, vibrations, mechanical compression, or sustained or awkward positions”. Here are common RSIs that athletes experience. On my next post, I will give more information on these treatable conditions and list down athletes who have experienced it and how they were treated.
- Achilles Tendinosis
- Lateral Epicondylitis
- Tennis Elbow
- Golfer’s Elbow
- Hamstring Strain
- Rotator Cuff–Partial Tears
- Biceps Tendinosis
- Glenohumeral Ligament Sprains
- Greater Trochanteric Bursitis
- Ulnar Collateral Ligament Injury
The above listed conditions are now treatable with either Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections or a combination of both PRP injections and stem cell injections. The method of a treatment plan depends upon the age of the patient and severity.
