What Are Sports Injuries?
Active lifestyles are rewarding, but they can sometimes lead to injuries. Sports injuries occur when muscles, joints, or connective tissues are overused, stretched, or torn. These injuries often happen during activities, like running, jumping, or lifting. At Metro Spine Pain Centers, our team treats pain from common sports injuries, like sprains, strains, tendonitis, fractures, and dislocations. Muscle tears, shin splints, and knee injuries are also frequent issues for athletes of all levels. Contact us at our Oxon Hill, Clinton, or Takoma Park, MD practice and schedule a consultation today for effective solutions to your sports injuries. Proper care and attention are essential to avoid long-term problems and get back to doing what you love.
How Are Sports Injuries Treated?
Treatment for sports injuries begins with identifying the type and severity of the injury. Physical therapy is a common approach to strengthen the affected area and restore movement. For pain relief, targeted injections can reduce inflammation and provide comfort. Minimally invasive procedures may address more complex issues, like torn ligaments or damaged cartilage. Nerve pain caused by injuries can be managed with advanced therapies, such as nerve blocks or spinal cord stimulation. Each treatment plan is tailored to meet the unique needs of the patient. Metro Spine Pain Centers specializes in sports injury treatment with a focus on getting you back to an active life as quickly as possible.
What Are the Signs of Sports Injuries?
Not all injuries are immediately noticeable. Some develop slowly while others cause sudden and intense pain. Knowing the warning signs can help you address the issue early. Common signs of sports injuries include:
- Swelling or bruising around the injured area
- Persistent pain during or after activity
- Reduced range of motion
- Weakness or instability in the affected limb or joint
- Difficulty bearing weight or using the injured area
- Numbness or tingling sensations
Metro Spine Pain Centers Reviews
He was very kind and helpful asked alot of questions and made alot of recommendations. Great bedside manner!
The receptionists was nice, the lobby was clean and quiet, Dr Drake and his assistant was very understanding, they listen they seem concerned, wait was a little length but not major.
Every time I go to their office they always treat me with respect.They always treat me like I'm family. And I always get the best medical treatment that I deserve when I go there.
I really like it at Metro Spine Centers! The staff is very pleasant and professional. And I LOVE my Dr. Drakes 😊 Would highly recommend Metro Spine Centers for anyone that is looking for a pain management doctor.
Dr. Drake's is kind caring and attentive. He takes his time when addressing your health issues, he listens. I believe he is really good at addressing chronic pain.
