Common Sports Injuries

REPETITIVE STRAIN INJURIES

Shin Splints

The swelling and pain around the shin bone (tibia) are caused by excessive activity. Rest, icing to ease swelling and pain, orthotics prescription, and strength training help recover from shin splints.

Runner's Knee

Mostly seen in runners and athletes, the runner’s knee causes pain around the kneecap due to irritation in the knee joints. Mild exercise and movement can help in healing.

Tennis and Golfers Elbow

Tennis elbow is pain and discomfort near the outside elbow, while golfer’s elbow is pain and tenderness that occurs on the inside of the elbow, caused by muscle overuse. Stretching and strengthening the elbow help reduce the pain.

Plantar Fascilitis

It involves inflammation of a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes. It can be cured with physical therapies, proper medications, orthotics, splints and specific exercises.

TRAUMATIC INJURIES

Knee and Ankle Ligament Sprains

Sprains are injuries to ligaments that connect bones in a joint. They are caused by deformities or tears in the ligaments. Range-of-motion exercises, stretching, strength training, and balance exercises are an important part of rehabilitation.

Fractures and Dislocations

Joint and bone injuries can be caused by accidents, repetitive stress, sports injuries and osteoporosis. Applying an ice pack or cold compress, elevating the injured area, taking proper medication and consulting with a doctor can help with rehabilitation.

Tendonitis

The swelling of the tendon, connecting the muscles to bone. It occurs in the elbow, shoulders, knee, and ankles. Pain, tenderness, and swelling are common symptoms of tendonitis. Resting, icing, and compressing, help in the treatment of tendonitis.

Treatment Options at White Rock Orthopaedic and Sports Clinic

White Rock Orthopaedic & Sports Physiotherapy Clinic offers a wide range of treatment options for sports injury rehabilitation in Surrey, White Rock and surrounding areas, such as:

Protective splinting and taping

Splinting is integral to rehabilitation as a method of protecting and immobilizing the injured parts of the hand following surgery. It provides support, prevents deformities and enables healing. Taping also restricts the movement of affected joints and tissues to give stability and foster healing.

Manual therapy and mobilization

Manual therapy and mobilization use various hands-on techniques to help activate and heal muscles. Our physiotherapists optimize mobility and functionality in this therapeutic approach by stimulating affected areas such as joints, soft tissues, or neural networks.

Electrotherapy – ultrasound, laser, IFC, neuromuscular stimulation, TENS

In electrotherapy, various devices promote recovery and restore optimal movement. Ultrasound helps enhance circulation and tissue metabolism, reducing muscle tension and pain. Techniques involving laser and current also provide stimulation to activate muscle functions.

Graduated therapeutic exercise specific to injury or surgical procedure

Injury and surgery-specific therapeutic techniques are targeted methods of restoring physical mobility. These techniques are highly effective and allow for accelerated recovery.

Range of motion and strengthening exercises

Motion and strengthening exercises help rebuild mobility after injuries that limit or prevent movement. During the recovery process, such exercises supply the much-needed stretching to induce flexibility and regain reflexes in a controlled manner.

Balance and core stabilization training

The stability of the core is vital for well-coordinated mobility, better posture, and improved strength. Exercises that will enhance the function and health of core muscles are thus integral to helping sportspersons achieve efficient muscle movement.

Modalities – moist heat and ice

Heat and cold therapy are effective aids in treatment. Experts use these techniques to manage pain and reduce inflammation.

Spinal decompression traction

Spinal decompression traction is a motorized traction method that effectively alleviates back pain. It helps stretch the spine and reduce pressure between spinal discs, facilitating better nerve functionality and quick and efficient healing.

Education – protection and home exercise program

Self-care strategies and plans for home exercises that help sportspersons optimize movement patterns and manage self-recovery. These programs also enable injury prevention.

Specialized post-operative protocols for rotator cuff, Achilles, ACL and PCL, total and partial knee and hip replacement arthroplasty
