Both contact and non-contact sports often cause common injuries including sprain, strain, bruises, bone dislocation, torn muscle or ligaments and fracture. Different sports have different types of injuries which require different care and treatment options. Most common areas that tend to be injured by sport-related activities include muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage, bone, spinal disks, nerve and blood vessel. In general, sport injuries are more likely to affect the lower part of the body rather than the upper part. Since, sport injuries are inevitable, being aware of potential risks to develop injuries and following all instructions to prevent sport injuries are essentially vital.
Certain organs that are more likely to be injured during sports or exercise include:
Shoulder injury is typically caused by high-energy impact, pulled shoulder or falling over during sports. Shoulder injury can subsequently lead to:

There are different types of treatment for sport and fitness-related injuries which are entirely depending on types of injuries and severity. Treatments options range from oral medications, rehabilitation and surgery. It can be either monotherapy by using single approach or a combination. Since different patients might have different underlying conditions and individual’s factors, treatment plan should be individually designed as custom-made treatment. In addition, “targeted therapy” significantly helps to treat affected areas precisely and prevent any possible damages of the surrounding tissue, nerve and organs. Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is considered a main targeted therapy for sport injury treatment. Superior advantages of arthroscopic surgery include smaller incisions, less pain and fewer post-operative complications such as less blood loss and lowered rates of infection. It eventually results in a faster recovery time and a quick return to daily life and activities.
