Sports Injuries

Sports injuries involve all types of damages to your body when participating in sports games, training, and other sports activities. The sport injury in the shoulder and elbow frequently occurs when playing sports such as baseball, tennis, volleyball, and swimming. As leisure and sports participation increase nowadays, both professional sports players and non-athletes are exposed to the risk of getting injured during sports activities.

Young and professional athletes can easily have shoulder/elbow joint diseases because of the repetitive motion and overuse of joints. The common sports injuries for young athletes include glenohumeral internal rotation deficit(GIRD), little league shoulder, and little league elbow. The common sports injuries for professional athletes are GIRD, rotator cuff tear, SLAP(Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior) lesion, and ulnar collateral ligament tear.

Orthopedic doctors at Narsha hospital diagnose a disease and suggest optimal treatments for young and professional athletes. For non-surgical treatments, there are various options such as ESWT, manual therapy, exercise therapy, and injection therapy. If non-surgical treatments are not successful, orthopedic doctors carefully determine whether surgical procedures are necessary based on multiple factors. Professional sports players should consider how the surgical procedure may influence their career as an athlete as well as type of disease, and their conditions.
