What sports injuries actually is
A sports injury is damage to a muscle, ligament, joint, disc or nerve that happens during sport or training. It can be a sudden injury like a strain or a tear, or a problem that builds from repetition.
Common sports injuries we see include low back strain, disc injury, sciatica, neck injury, shoulder and rotator cuff pain, hip and hamstring problems, knee pain, and tennis and golfer's elbow.
A sports injury is often confused with ordinary back or joint pain. The difference is the mechanism and the demand. Athletes need to get back to a higher level of load, which shapes the care.
How you know it is sports injuries and not something else
The pattern is pain or limited movement that started during sport or training, or pain that builds with repetition. It may be a sharp sudden injury or a gradual ache that worsens with activity.
