Sports damage can be for athletes at all levels, from professionals to weekends. In Sterling Physio, we specialize in providing personal care for a wide range of sports injuries, and helps you get quickly and safely so you can get the activities you love.

Understanding Sports Injuries

Sports injuries typically result from overuse, trauma, or poor technique during physical activities. They can affect any part of the body but are especially common in the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints.

Types of Sports Injuries

  • Sprains and Strains: Overstretching or tearing of ligaments (sprains) or muscles and tendons (strains).
  • Fractures: Broken bones caused by direct impact or excessive force.
  • Dislocations: When a bone is forced out of its joint, leading to pain and instability.
  • Tendonitis: Inflammation of tendons due to repetitive motion.
  • Shin Splints: Pain along the shin bone, common in runners.
  • ACL Injuries: Tears or sprains in the anterior cruciate ligament, a key stabilizer of the knee.
  • Rotator Cuff Injuries: Damage to the muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder.
  • Tennis Elbow: Overuse injury causing pain around the outer elbow.
  • Runner’s Knee: Pain around the kneecap, often from overuse or improper tracking.
  • Concussions: Traumatic brain injuries resulting from a blow to the head.
