What Is Sports Injury and How We Treat It?

Sports injuries are injuries that happen when an individual engages in sports or exercise. These injuries can occur due to lack of conditioning, overtraining, and improper form or technique. If the athlete fails to warm up properly, it may raise the risk of sports injuries such as bruises, sprains, strains, tears, and broken bones. Soft tissues like ligaments, muscles, tendons, fascia, and bursae may be affected. Another potential type of sports injury is Traumatic brain injury (TBI).

The treatment for sports injury focuses on offering the best treatment to the patients to enable them to carry on with their sports career. Our doctors implement a wide range of procedures, both operative and non-operative.
