The Danger of Sports Injury

Although sports are a great way to stay in shape, they can also pose a risk to you physically. When participating in sports, you run the risk of impact injuries. Injuries such as sprains, breaks, and concussions are common. Athletes have a special risk of repetitive injuries because of how often they participate in sports. Repetitive injuries occur when you are using one set of muscles or joints over and over in the same way for a prolonged period. Injuries such as tennis elbow, bursitis, knee injuries, wrist and ankle injuries are common types of repetitive injuries. These types of injuries can cause shoulder pain, neck pain, back pain, and more.
