Sports Injuries

What is Rotator Cuff Pain?


  • Rotator cuff injuries
  • Neck and back pain
  • Joint sprains
  • Muscle strains
  • Tennis elbow

Symptoms:

  • Acute Injuries: Sudden and severe pain, inability to bear weight or move the affected part.

Engaging in sports or exercise is beneficial for your health, but it can sometimes lead to injuries. These injuries may result from accidents, poor training practices, improper gear, body imbalances, or overworked muscles. Factors such as not being in shape, inadequate warm-up, or insufficient stretching can also contribute to sports-related injuries. Common sports injuries include:

Whiplash/Car Accident

What is Whiplash?


Whiplash occurs when the soft tissues in the neck are stretched too far, similar to how a rope frays when overstretched. It commonly results from auto accidents, particularly rear-end collisions. Up to 83% of people involved in such accidents may suffer from whiplash, with those struck by larger vehicles or with pre-existing arthritis being at higher risk.

Symptoms:

  • Sudden or delayed onset of dull neck pain
  • Sharp pain when moving the head
  • Pain centered in the back of the neck, potentially spreading to the shoulders or between the shoulder blades
  • Tension headaches, dizziness, and TMJ problems may accompany the injury
  • Symptoms may worsen over time
