Sports Injuries occur when the musculoskeletal system (muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage) is damaged due to physical activity, overuse, or trauma during sports. These injuries can be acute (sudden, like fractures or ligament tears) or chronic (gradual, like tendonitis or stress fractures).
Prompt evaluation and treatment by a Sports Injury Specialist in Faridabad are essential to ensure complete recovery and return to activity.
Overuse: Repetitive stress without enough recovery time.
Improper Training: Lack of warm-up, stretching, or incorrect techniques.
Sudden Trauma: Falls, collisions, or twists.
Poor Conditioning: Weak muscles and limited flexibility.
Inappropriate Equipment: Wrong footwear or protective gear.
Age & Fatigue: Higher risk in teenagers (high activity) and adults (wear & tear).
Sprains & Strains – injury to ligaments or muscles
ACL / PCL Tears – knee ligament injuries
Meniscus Tear – knee cartilage damage
Shoulder Dislocation & Rotator Cuff Tears
Tennis Elbow / Golfer’s Elbow – tendon overuse
Stress Fractures – due to repetitive impact
Shin Splints & Achilles Tendonitis
Pain at the site of injury
Swelling, redness, or bruising
Restricted movement or stiffness
Instability in joints (knee giving way, shoulder slipping out)
Weakness or inability to bear weight
Sudden popping sound during injury (common in ligament tears)
Clinical Evaluation: Doctor examines movement, swelling, and instability.
X-ray: To rule out fractures.
MRI / Ultrasound: To confirm ligament, tendon, or cartilage injuries.
Arthroscopy: Sometimes used for both diagnosis and treatment.
Non-Surgical Treatment:
RICE Protocol: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation
Pain relief & anti-inflammatory medications
Physiotherapy to restore motion and strength
Braces or supports to protect the injured area

Surgical Treatment (if severe or persistent):
Arthroscopic Surgery for ACL/PCL tears, meniscus repair, and shoulder injuries
Ligament Reconstruction for instability
Fracture Fixation with plates, screws, or rods if bones are broken
Tendon Repair in cases of complete rupture
Minor injuries: 2–6 weeks with rest & physiotherapy
