Common Sports-Related Injuries

Injuries in sports are common because athletes are constantly using and wearing out their muscles. Such injuries can be caused by excessive use, poor practices, or simple, everyday accidents. The following lists a few common sports-related injuries:

• Pulls: Any muscle in your body can be pulled. Though stretching beforehand can prepare muscles for vigorous exercise, you can still pull a muscle through strain, overuse, fatigue, or falling. Working your way slowly into strenuous activity can help, but too much force on the muscle can cause it to tear. Excessive tear results in a muscle tear.
   
• Sprains: Bones are connected at joints, surrounded by tissues called ligaments. Falling, twisting, or being struck can cause the ligaments to stretch or tear, resulting in a sprain. Common sprain areas include the ankle and wrist, and further movement of the joint will likely be painful.
   
• Fracture: Broken bones are complex injuries, commonly the result of falling or getting hit. They can puncture the skin, resulting in an open or compound fracture. Fractures require immediate medical attention, and often require a cast, splint, or surgery to repair the bone.
   
• Dislocation: When a joint is forced out of position, it results in a dislocation. These usually result from a contact sport, following a fall or a blow. The dislocation makes moving the joint impossible, rendering the limb immobile. These injuries tend to be painful, swollen, and visibly out of place.

Since many sports injuries require immediate medical attention, it’s important to cease playing right away. Physical therapy or medically supervised exercise can be routine experiences for follow-up care after a sports-related injury. At Personal Injury Physicians, we provide a number of medical services for common sports-related injuries. For more information on what we can offer or to set up an appointment with one of our highly trained physicians or massage therapists, call us today at (904) 638-3702.

Back Pain: How Should A Patient Feel After A Chiropractic Adjustment? – Dr. Portmann

Do you suffer from periodic or persistent pain in your back? A chiropractor can be a great way to relieve back pain that you have been experiencing, but many people are not fully aware of how a chiropractor should work.

The following video explains how a patient should feel physically after a visit to the chiropractor and the extent to which you should continue seeing the chiropractor. An extended period of time without relief may mean you would benefit from different therapy.
