Weekend Doctor: Sports injuries

Sports injuries can be a challenging setback for athletes, affecting not only their physical well-being but also their mental resilience. Whether you are a seasoned athlete or a “weekend warrior,” understanding common sports injuries and knowing how to take care of them is crucial for a speedy recovery and long-term health.

One of the most prevalent sports injuries is the sprain. Sprains occur when ligaments, the tough bands connecting bones within a joint, are stretched or torn. Ankle sprains are particularly common, often resulting from sudden twists or awkward landings. Immediate treatment involves the R.I.C.E. method: rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Rest the injured area, apply ice to reduce swelling, use compression to support the injured area, and elevate it to minimize fluid accumulation.
