FAQ's

Sports injuries can range from mild to serious, requiring surgery. Some of the most common and dangerous sports injuries are:

  • A torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).

  • Tennis elbow (Epicondylitis)

  • Golf elbow

  • Possible injuries include a hip flexor tear or strain and a shoulder joint injury

  • Possible conditions include a dislocated shoulder and sciatica.

Sports injuries occur for a variety of reasons. Some of the most common causes are:

  • Overuse of muscles or joints, particularly in elite or professional sports

  • Wear and tear (particularly among elderly athletes who frequently play a specific activity)

  • Stopping abruptly or swiftly shifting direction (a common cause of knee injuries)

  • A direct strike to the knee, shoulder, hip, elbow, or any other bodily area

  • Attempting to lift or push a heavy object frequently results in strained back muscles.

Manipal Hospitals have specialists who can address injuries comprehensively using diagnostic imaging, modern surgical methods, and focused rehabilitation programmes. These can treat a wide range of injuries, from simple sprains, strains, and fractures to more serious conditions like major dislocations, torn ligaments, and concussions. The hospitals provide tailored standards of care for professional athletes and sports people with specific demands. The hospital has a major emphasis on rehabilitation services, ensuring a full recovery with natural agility and mobility, and allowing professional athletes to participate at the regional, national, and worldwide levels.

Sports medicine facilities are run by a multidisciplinary team of experts with extensive diagnostic, therapeutic, and rehabilitation experience with sports and exercise-related injuries. This team often consists of qualified sports medicine physiotherapists, emergency medicine specialists, orthopaedic surgeons, and trained paramedics. The team is also backed by sports specialists and psychologists, who provide a complete approach to injury treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention for athletes.

The healing period for a sports injury is determined by the kind and severity of the injury, the patient's health and age, a history of comparable or previous accident/trauma, and adherence to the rehabilitation programme. The sports medicine interdisciplinary team can evaluate the injury and recommend a possible recovery time unique to each individual. Recovery is a collaborative process in which clinical knowledge can be enhanced by patient and carer involvement.

Each sports injury is unique and exhibits distinct symptoms. Common symptoms of a serious sports injury may include:

  • Shooting pain in the affected area

  • Chronic pain lasts for days or weeks.

  • Difficulty walking or bearing weight on the affected area

  • Extreme swelling or bruising

  • Not being able to move the affected joint

  • Extreme weakness of the injured limb

  • Not being able to lift weights on the leg, knee, ankle, or foot

  • Visible joint dislocation

  • Constant pain while playing or exercising

It is important to seek emergency medical attention if you sense something is not right. It is crucial, therefore, to halt any activities and share your concerns with your specialist. 

The treatment for a sports injury is determined by its location and severity. Many sports injuries are treated first by reducing inflammation and facilitating recovery.

The abbreviation RICE refers to the immediate care of most acute injuries.

  • R-Rest: After a sports injury, the wounded area needs to heal. Avoid engaging in physical activities that produce pain or discomfort. 

  • Ice: Apply an ice pack to the afflicted area four to eight times daily for at least 15-20 minutes. You can also use an ice bag or ice wrapped in a towel to create a cold compress. 

  • C-Compression: Using an elastic bandage to compress or provide constant pressure to the wounded region will help reduce swelling. Avoid wrapping the bandage too tightly, as this can impair circulation.

  • E-Elevation: Bringing the wounded location above the level of your heart will help reduce swelling.

There is no fixed schedule for sports injuries. Some injuries require many days to heal. Others might take weeks or months. In many circumstances, your sports injury will not recover properly unless you receive appropriate medical care, which may include surgery, non-surgical therapies, or physical therapy. Your doctor can diagnose you, explain what to expect, and discuss the many treatment choices for your sports injury.

Physical Therapy is a crucial part of the treatment plan to facilitate quick recovery, minimise pain, and prevent any future injuries. Based on the severity of the condition, occupational and physical therapists recommend a set of exercises, including stretching and strengthening exercises, that focus on patient recovery. The professional guidance and skill of a physical therapist impact your journey to healing, helping you not just in restoring your physical function but also in enhancing your strength against future injuries and regaining your confidence.
