Sports Medicine Q & A
What are common sports injuries?
Whether you’re an amateur, enthusiast, or professional athlete, sports injuries can occur due to a multitude of causes. The physical strain of regular training and competition can increase your risk of injury, including:

- Tendinitis
- Bursitis
- Achilles tendon ruptures
- Fractures
- Dislocations
- Rotator cuff tears

You can have an acute sports injury or repetitive strain injury that develops over time. Your pain can be sharp or dull and can be continuous, or elicited by specific movements.
