Sports Injuries: Common Types

A sports injury often seems to come out of nowhere and lead to a sudden onset of pain, swelling, weakness, stiffness, or even instability in the affected area. In other cases, symptoms may be less intense but develop gradually over time and persist for months or more. 

The following are a few of the most common types of sports injuries we evaluate and manage at our Birmingham chiropractic clinic:

  • Muscle strains and ligament strains—this often leads to back pain, shoulder pain, or hip and leg pain 
  • Tendonitis or bursitis—inflammation and irritation to tendons or bursae, often in the shoulder, elbow, knee, or ankle
  • Plantar fasciitis—inflammation of the tissue on the bottom of your foot, leading to sharp heel pain
  • Whiplash—a major cause of neck pain due to rapid forward and backward bending of the neck (such as during a slip or high impact collision)
  • Nerve compression—generally due to an injured disc, muscles spasm, or misaligned/narrowed joint, compressed nerves can cause pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness along the nerve's innervation path 

Risk Factors for Sports Injury

It doesn't matter if you're an experienced athlete or just learning a new sport, sports injuries can occur anytime. The good news is many of the risk factors for sports injury are preventable. These include:

  • Over-training
  • Running on hard or uneven surfaces (e.g., always running in the same direction on the track)
  • Improperly fitting equipment
  • Poor technique and movement mechanics
  • Old injuries that have residual weakness or scar tissue
  • Sports-related accidents
  • Repetitive movement, especially overhead or bending and twisting 
  • High impact or high contact sports
