Sports Injury

A sports injury involves damage to part of your body due to sports, exercise, or athletic activities. Muscle sprains and strains, tears of the ligaments and tendons, dislocated joints, fractured bones, and head injuries are common. Sports injuries are most commonly caused by poor training methods; structural abnormalities; weakness in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Minor injuries, such as mild sprains and strains, can often be initially treated at home using therapy for two or three days.
