Sports Injury Knee Treatment in West Delhi

Overview of Sports Injury Pain

Pain occurs when damage is caused to bone, muscle, ligament, tendon, or joint due to sudden trauma, overuse, or improper training techniques. When it starts suddenly and is severe, pain may be termed acute, and when it develops gradually due to repeated activity, it may be termed chronic.

Most sports injuries affect the knee, shoulder, ankle, hip, and spine. They range from slight discomfort to the most unbearable disabling conditions, affecting performance and daily functioning.

Common Causes of Sports Injuries

Numerous situations can result in sports injuries.

• Overuse Injuries - Continuous strain leading to stress fractures, tendinopathy, or bursitis.
• Improper Technique - Poor posture or wrong movements observed while exercising.
• Sudden Trauma - Falls, collisions, or direct impacts causing fractures, sprains, or dislocations.
• Lack of Warm-Up or Stretching- Increases muscle strain or ligament sprain risk.
• Weak Core or Muscle Imbalances- Unequally stressed joints.
• Wrong Footwear or Equipment - Contributes to a lack of support and stability.
• Previous Injuries - Put one at risk for new injury occurrences.
• Fatigue and Overtraining- Decrease flexibility, coordination, and healing abilities.

Categories of Sports Injury Pain

• Sprains & strains- injury of ligaments and muscles/tendons.
• Knee injuries - ACL tears, meniscus injuries, patellar tendonitis.
• Shoulder injuries - Rotator cuff tears, dislocations, and impingement.
