Sports Injuries
Pure Sports Medicine is a specialist sports medicine practice dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries. Whether your interest is personal or professional, downtime is frustrating for everyone. Hence, we pride ourselves on coordinating every aspect of your treatment process so that you never have to wait or wonder for a second longer than is necessary.
Sports injuries are commonly caused by overuse, direct impact, or the application of force that is greater than the body part can structurally withstand. An injury that occurs as a direct result of some sudden event, such as a sprained knee caused by twisting awkwardly, is known as an acute injury. In contrast, an injury that is caused by overusing the same muscle group or joints is known as a chronic injury.
Whether your sports injury is acute or chronic, if pain persists, one should seek a specialist’s opinion because you may be hurt more severely than you think. For example, what seems like an ankle sprain may actually be a bone fracture.
There are hundreds of different types of sports injuries, but certain body parts tend to be more prone to damage than others. Some of the more common sports injuries include:
- Ankle Sprain
- Achilles Tendonitis
- Back Pain
- Concussion
- Cuts and Abrasions
- Dental damage
- Groin Strain
- Hamstring Strain
- Knee Joint Injury
- Nose Injury
- Runner’s Knee
- Shin Splints
- Shoulder Injury
- Stress Fracture
- Tennis/Golf Elbow
Poor fitness, technique and structural abnormalities also contribute to the development of sports injuries. Prevention being better than cure, we encourage screening for physiological weaknesses that may lead to injury, and help you work with physios, trainers and coaches to eliminate them.
