Sports Injury and Rehabilitation
Sports injury and rehabilitation encompass the diagnosis, treatment, and recovery process for injuries sustained during athletic activities. It focuses on restoring athletes' physical function, mobility, and overall well-being. At London Ortho Hospital, we understand the unique challenges faced by athletes and offer comprehensive sports injury treatment and rehabilitation services to help them return to peak performance.
Causes
Sports injuries can occur due to various factors, including improper technique, overuse, inadequate warm-up or stretching, sudden impacts, or collisions with other players. Common sports injuries include sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, ligament tears, tendonitis, and cartilage damage.
When to See the Doctor
It is essential to seek medical attention if you experience severe pain, swelling, instability, loss of range of motion, or if the injury significantly impacts your ability to participate in sports or daily activities. Prompt medical evaluation can determine the severity of the injury and guide appropriate treatment.
Treatment and Surgery Options
Treatment for sports injuries may include non-surgical interventions such as rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), physical therapy, pain management, and rehabilitation exercises. In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to repair damaged tissues or stabilize fractures. Rehabilitation focuses on gradually restoring strength, flexibility, and functional abilities through targeted exercises and therapies.
