I HAVE A SPORTS INJURY – HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? “Sports injury” is a term that can be used to describe any injury sustained while exercising or performing some sort of athletic activity. There are two ways in which sports injuries can occur: suddenly, such as one football player collidingwith another, or over time, through repetitivemotions, such as improperly lifting heavy weights at the gymor running in ill-fitted shoes. Simply put, anything that results in pain while performing physical activity can be considered a sports injury. Whether you rolled your ankle on the soccer field, swung your bat too aggressively on the baseball diamond, or strained your back while hiking your favorite trail, Sports & Ortho can help you find relief.
