A sports injury is a kind of harm or damage that happens to the body during physical activities, exercises, or sports. These injuries can occur suddenly, like twisting an ankle while running, or develop over time due to repetitive stress on specific body parts, like a tennis player’s shoulder or a runner’s knee.
Sports injuries are common across all age groups and fitness levels. Whether you’re a professional athlete, a weekend warrior, or just starting a workout routine, there is always a chance of injury. These injuries often happen because of accidents, improper technique, overuse of muscles, or even a lack of warm-up before physical activity.
While sports injuries can be frustrating, the good news is that most of them are preventable or treatable with proper care, relevant treatment options, and expert guidance. At Axis Clinics, our experts believe in offering effective treatment options and the appropriate guidance you need for better healing.
