Sports Injury

A sports injury refers to physical harm or damage that occurs as a result of participating in sports or exercise-related activities. These injuries can affect the body’s muscles, bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. They can arise from various factors, including acute incidents like falls or collisions, or from chronic overuse due to repetitive actions. Common types of sports injuries include sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, tendinitis, and concussions. Treatment often involves rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), physical therapy, medication, and, in some cases, surgery, depending on the severity and nature of the injury. Prevention strategies include proper warm-ups, using appropriate equipment, maintaining physical fitness, and following safe techniques during activities.
