Sports Injuries

Sports injuries include the damage that muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, or joints suffer during physical activity, whether from a blow, poor technique, or overuse.

Which specialist treats them? They are usually addressed jointly by the orthopedist or orthopedic trauma specialist, the sports medicine physician, and the physical therapist, depending on the type and severity of the injury.

Common types: Sprains, muscle tears, tendinitis, and stress fractures are among the most common.

When to seek care? Pain that persists, marked swelling, loss of mobility, or joint instability are signs not to continue training on your own. The most sensible thing is to let a professional assess the extent of the damage and guide recovery safely.
