SPORTS INJURIES & TREATMENTS

Some of the most common sports injuries that are frequently treated by Sports & Orthopedic Center include:

• • Concussions
    Concussions are caused by severe head trauma where the brain moves violently within the skull so that brain cells all fire at once, much like a seizure.

• • Frequent Painful Muscle Cramps
    Muscle Cramps are a sudden tight, intense pain caused by a muscle locked in spasm. Muscle cramps are also recognized as an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax.
  • ACL Sprains
    The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a ligament involved in knee stabilization. An ACL rupture can occur when the foot is planted and the knee twists to change direction.
  • Ankle Sprains
    The ligaments that hold the ankle bones in place can easily be overstretched.
  • Shin Splints
    The tissue that attaches the muscles of your lower leg to the shin bone may be pulling away from the bone, or it may be inflamed from overuse.
