Causes of Athletic Injuries

Shoulder injury, stress fractures, knee injury, and bone fractures are among the wide range of injuries that an athlete may experience. Some of the most common reasons for sports trauma include:

  • Overuse. Chronic wear and tear of joints, muscles, and tendons can cause pain and affect an athlete's ability to perform well.
  • Imbalanced training sessions. Athletes risk severe pain and chronic injury when they overtrain certain parts of their bodies while ignoring others.
  • Improper rehabilitation. Effective treatment includes healing of damaged structures and tissues, followed by reconditioning of the musculotendinous complex.
  • Sports trauma. One-third of all student-athletes will experience an injury related to playing sports.

Most Common Conditions of Sports Injuries

Chronic conditions like muscle pain and low bone density can happen when people lead active lifestyles. Recreational athletes run the same risks for injuries that can lead to common conditions as professional athletes. 

Some of the other common conditions from sports injuries are:

Sports Injury Therapy & Treatments

Our multidisciplinary team of physical therapists and sports injury specialists can help athletes reduce the risk for sports injuries that can end their season — or their career — early. Among the sports injury therapy and treatments our team of sports medicine professionals can administer include:

  • Injury Prevention — Our sports medicine team helps you train hard while preventing injury, so you’re in peak condition throughout the season. We help athletes avoid invasive surgery by focusing on preparing for the stresses of their chosen sport before they lead to injury.
  • Gait Analysis — Runners with improper gaits risk pain and injury to their backs, feet, hips, and knees. Our gait analysis service helps runners assess their ranges of motion when running and walking, providing strategies for improving their gaits.
  • Return to Sport — Getting back in the game can be intimidating after suffering a traumatic injury. A successful recovery requires a rehabilitation plan that addresses your individual needs as an athlete, ensuring you return to sport as swiftly as possible, but not before your bodies can handle it.
  • AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill — As leaders in sports medicine, JAG PT is pleased to offer athletes the opportunity to achieve faster rehabilitation and safer conditioning with the AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill. This method reduces impact on your body while reducing pain during rehabilitation.
