Common Sports Injuries

1. Sprains and Strains

• Sprains: Ligament injuries caused by overstretching or tearing. Commonly affect ankles and wrists.

• Strains: Muscle or tendon injuries due to overstretching or tearing. Frequently occur in the back and hamstrings.

• Broken bones resulting from acute trauma. Common fractures in sports include those of the wrist, collarbone, and ankle.

1. Dislocations

• Occur when bones are forced out of their normal positions in joints. Commonly affect shoulders and fingers.

1. Tendinitis

• Inflammation of tendons due to overuse. Commonly affects the elbows (tennis elbow), knees, and shoulders.

Preventing sports injuries is just as crucial as treating them. Dr. Vinayaraj Kelagadi recommends the following strategies:

1. Proper Warm-Up and Cool-Down - Engage in dynamic warm-ups to prepare muscles and joints for activity. Cool down with static stretches to enhance flexibility and prevent stiffness.

2. Use of Appropriate Gear - Wear protective equipment like helmets, pads, and appropriate footwear to minimize injury risks.
