Common Sports Injuries
The most common sports injuries in Singapore include sprains, strains, fractures and twists. Usually, common sports accidents are minor or only there is some damage, but still everything is in place. You could treat them at home with the PRICE treatment method described below. However, you must expect that some common sports accidents can take months to heal even with professional treatment.
Out of all the common sports accidents, the most common sports injuries that we see occur on the game field strains. Sprains are usually caused by too much exertion from jumping or running and the ligaments connecting our ankle to our muscles are stretched beyond their limits. This will cause swelling and pain. Strain is a common symptom for strains and will not heal on its own without some rest and rehabilitation. To do this, ice packs or hot packs can be used to reduce the pain felt.
Fractures mostly happen in contact sports like rugby. These are sports where the players are forced to collision with each other. The impact and movement are very violent and the bones and muscles get damaged when the impact breaks the bones and tissues. The symptoms will be swelling and you may feel a strong pain that shoots through your entire leg. The healing process may take a few weeks.
One of the most common sports injuries in Singapore pools is tennis elbow. This is a very serious injury that can also be referred to as tennis tendonitis. This condition affects the tendons between our shoulder and elbow. Because of the location, the affected area is very small and the connective tissues are very thin. When this happens, there is no room for the tendons to regenerate, which means that the injury will remain alive and you will suffer from severe pain for a long time.
Fractures are just one form of a sports related injury. Another common sports injury is a sprained ankle. Sprains can be a result of a sudden stop or shock, jumping or twisting, excessive fatigue or a sudden change in weight. The pain usually follows a sprain but you might also feel bruising, swelling, and other signs of a serious injury. You should consult your doctor immediately if you experience any of these signs.
Sports accidents can be a bit difficult to treat since they are often caused by overuse or a lack of proper rehabilitation. Some types of injuries have a quick recovery time but can also be long term if not properly treated. A doctor should examine your injury and then provide a treatment plan depending on the severity of your injury. Most sports medicine doctors can treat minor injuries fairly quickly but serious injuries such as fractures require immediate surgery to stabilize and protect the bone and surrounding tissues.
