What Kind Of Injuries Can Rosedale Sports Injury Therapy Treat?
The term “sports injury” covers a broad range of injuries. The one thing sports injuries have in common is that they happen when practicing or playing your sport. Most sports injuries involve ligaments, tendons, bones, and muscles or overuse injuries at the joints. Some sports injuries also involve head trauma, but at our facility, we concentrate on non-concussive injuries.
You don’t have to be an elite athlete to suffer a sports injury. We see plenty of weekend warriors and exercise enthusiasts at our physical therapy facility who suffer similar overuse injuries or joint issues. Some sports injuries may be caused by lack of preparation, stretching, or doing too much too soon, while others happen because of poor equipment or other extenuating circumstances, like uneven terrain or a slippery track.
Most sports injuries impact your musculoskeletal system, which is our main focus. Some of the most common injuries we treat include:
- Fractures
- Sprains and Strains
- Knee Injuries
- Strains
- Shin splints
- Rotator cuff tear
- Concussion
- Tennis elbow
- Joint dislocation
Treatment Options For Sports Injuries
Your treatment program is tailored to your needs, condition, and goals. For some clients, the goal may be simply to regain basic abilities, like walking or full elbow extension. Other clients may need more intensive therapy to get back to peak performance. We listen to your concerns and provide a proper diagnosis of your injury.
We start with a physical exam of the injury and often use imaging tests, like an MRI or X-ray, to evaluate the problem. Your treatment plan is determined by your physical needs, age, overall health, and the specific damage.
We try to start with the least invasive treatment before recommending more intensive therapy or surgery. For example, RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) is often the first option to help reduce swelling and inflammation. However, if there is more significant damage, we take a more aggressive approach to get you on the road to recovery.
