CrossFit Injuries

What are the most common sports injuries people seek medical help for?
The most common sports injuries that people seek help for include:
Sprains: This occurs when a ligament (the tissue that connects bones to each other) is stretched or torn, often due to sudden movements or impact, e.g.- twisting or turning your ankle over when you are running or playing tennis.
Strains: These are injuries to muscles or tendons (the tissues that connect muscles to bones), often caused by overstretching or overuse, e.g.- hamstring pulls.
Fractures: Broken bones are prevalent in sports, particularly in high-impact activities or contact sports, e.g.- football, rugby, falls off horses or bikes.
Dislocations: Joints can be forced out of their normal position, causing intense pain and requiring medical intervention to relocate the joint, e.g.- as result of a fall from a horse or bike.
Tendonitis: Inflammation of tendons due to overuse or repetitive motion, commonly seen in sports that involve repetitive movements like running or tennis.
Concussions: Head injuries resulting from a blow or jolt to the head, often seen in contact sports like football, rugby or boxing.
Contusions: Also known as bruises, these occur when small blood vessels beneath the skin are damaged due to impact or trauma.
Knee injuries: Such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, meniscus tears, or patellar tendon injuries, which are common in sports that involve jumping, contact sports, e.g.- football, rugby, or after sudden changes in direction when skiing.
Shoulder injuries: Including rotator cuff tears, dislocations, or strains, often seen in sports that involve overhead motions like swimming, tennis, badminton or golf.
Stress fractures: Small cracks in bones due to repetitive stress or overuse, often seen in runners or athletes who engage in high-impact activities.
It's important for sports performers to seek medical help promptly for any injury to ensure proper diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation to prevent long-term complications and speed up a safe return to sports activity.
