Treatment of Sports Injuries in Staten Island, NY
Sports injuries can occur during every athletic season; they can be classified as traumatic or overuse.
Traumatic injuries are caused by a specific incident, such as:
- Sprains (i.e., ankle or ACL)
- Strains, including pulled muscles
- Concussions (i.e., football collisions, soccer ball heading, falls, etc.)
Overuse injuries happen gradually from repetitive action or improper technique. Examples include:
- Tendinitis (i.e., shin splints, jumper’s knee)
- Repetitive stress with poor technique (i.e., stress fractures, throwing injuries)
Sprains are one of the most common sports injuries. Ligaments, the connective tissues between your bones, can stretch beyond their limits during a physical activity. When ligaments are stretched, they become weaker and more susceptible to being sprained again.
Sprains are one of the most common sports injuries. Ligaments, the connective tissues between your bones, can stretch beyond their limits during a physical activity. When ligaments are stretched, they become weaker and more susceptible to being sprained again.
When you come visit us here at Grasmere Physical Therapy, we will start with an injury screening to look for any dysfunctions which often leads to an injury not just because of this injury but because of other underlying issues that can lead to injury in the future. After we identify weaknesses and limitations, we will establish a treatment plan to address them.
As you continue to see progress in rehabilitation, we will begin to progress the intensity and complexity of your exercises. As we do this, we will also start including some sport-specific training that complements your activity to ensure you will be ready for the physical demands of your sport. Ultimately, we are getting you back to peak performance for game day!
