What is Sport Injury?

Sports injuries are usually brought about by overuse, direct effect, or the power impact that is more noteworthy than the body part can basically withstand. There are two types of sports inuries: Acute and Chronic. An injury that occurs suddenly, such as a sprained ankle caused by an awkward landing, is known as an acute injury.

Chronic Injuries are caused byrepeated overuse of muscle groups or joints. Basically this is caused by poor techniques and structural abnormalities can also contribute to the development of chronic injuries. For any sport injury medical inastigation is very important because there might be a posibility that you have hurt more severely than you think.

Types of Sports Injury

Some of the more common sports injuries include:

  • Ankle sprain – symptoms include pain, swelling and stiffness.
  • Bruises – a blow can cause small bleeds into the skin.
  • Concussion – mild reversible brain injury from a blow to the head, which may be associated with loss of consciousness. Symptoms include headache, dizziness and short term memory loss.
  • Cuts and abrasions – are usually caused by falls. The knees and hands are particularly prone.
  • Dehydration – losing too much fluid can lead to heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
  • Dental damage – a blow to the jaw can crack, break or dislodge teeth.
  • Groin strain – symptoms include pain and swelling.
  • Hamstring strain – symptoms include pain, swelling and bruising.
