Common Orthopedic and Sports Injuries:

  • Shoulder tendonitis
  • Rotator cuff injuries
  • Back injuries
  • Patellofemoral pain
  • ACL reconstruction
  • Hip pain
  • Ankle sprains and strains
  • Post-surgical pain and weakness
  • Bursitis

Tips to Avoid Sports Injuries:

  1. Progressively train your body for the demands of any sport slowly and systematically. Jumping into any sport you have not conditioned your body for will increase your risk for injury.
  2. Modest warm up and cool down are important to prevent muscle injury. Stretching before and after activity is important too. This is important if you are sprinting in your sport, as quadriceps and hamstrings are then more prone to injury.
  3. ALWAYS wear appropriate protective equipment for a given sport. It is also important to use the equipment how it is designed to be used, especially when involving contact sports.
  4. Lower extremity (ankle, knee, hip) injuries are often linked to weak and under-trained gluteal and core muscle groups. Strength and conditioning programs should include these groups.
