An Overview of Sports Injury

Whether you are a professional athlete or a recreational player, there’s always a chance of injury when you play sports.

Sports injuries occur when we damage our muscles, ligaments, joints, bones and/or cartilage during exercise and physical activities. These injuries may result from over-training, repetitive overuse, skipping warm-up or cool down or poor posture or technique.

However, many of these injuries can be prevented. With proper warm-ups and cool-downs, using the correct technique, donning the appropriate attire and equipment, improving our posture and ensuring enough time for recovery between trainings can greatly reduce our chances of injury during sports.

Common Sports Injuries

  • Sprains and strains
  • Knee injuries
  • Inflammation
  • Shin splint
  • Rotator cuff injuries
  • Fractures
  • Dislocations
  • Tennis elbow

Not all sports injury require surgery

Many Singaporeans often turn to home remedies for minor sports injuries, choosing to rest, apply ice to the affected area and take anti-inflammatory medication to reduce pain and swelling. However, if you are injured, it is best to consult a medical professional. Sometimes, a major injury can have a quicker and fuller recovery with the right treatment, while a minor injury without proper treatment may affect us for many months and even get worse.

Using a combination of heat, traction, manual treatment, movement and exercise, physiotherapy can help with recovery, easing of pain and preventing future injuries or pain attacks. Medication may also be prescribed to reduce inflammation or for pain relief. Surgery as a treatment for sports injury is often the last resort.

How do you heal sports injuries faster?

Sustaining a sports injury can be frustrating, especially when it puts a pause on your athletic career and even interfere with your day-to-day activities.

Thankfully, taking proper care of your injury can help to speed up the recovery process. Here are some tips that can give you a speedier and fuller recovery:

  • Follow the RICE (Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate) method as soon as possible after sustaining a soft tissue injury such as a sprain, muscle pull or a tear
  • Consult a doctor and get professional medical diagnosis and treatment promptly
  • Rehabilitate with physiotherapy for a fuller recovery, even after the swelling and pain has subsided
  • Understand why the injury occurred so that you can avoid worsening or repeating the injury
  • Take small steps and ease back into your normal training after getting approval from your doctor

How do you treat sports injuries?

If there is something noticeably wrong or the injury is serious, take the athlete to the emergency department immediately.

However, in most cases, it’s best to wait a few minutes for things to settle and calm down after sustaining an injury. When the athlete is calmer, they are better able to express how they feel.

RICE is usually the first line of treatment:

  • Rest the injury
  • Ice the affected area once every hour for 20 minutes
  • Compress the injury using an ace bandage or immobilise it with a splint
  • Elevate the injury above the heart to reduce blood flow and swelling

Make an appointment with your doctor to properly diagnose and treat the injury as soon as possible.

How long does a sports injury take to heal?

Depending on the severity of the injury, the recovery time varies.

Minor injuries may only take a few weeks to heal, while severe injuries may require more extensive medical treatment such as surgery and/or physiotherapy. A full recovery can take months in more serious cases.

How many treatment sessions do I need for a sports injury?

Every individual’s recovery and rehabilitation journey is different depending on your condition. The physiotherapist will be able to advise you of an appropriate treatment plan and frequency after the initial assessment.

What do physiotherapists do?

Physiotherapists are allied health professionals who have an in-depth knowledge of how the body works and specialised hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat injury and disability. Trained to pinpoint the root cause of injuries and other ailments, a physiotherapist will first assess your holistic health and wellbeing, before determining the kind of movements and exercises you can and should do to aid in recovery, taking into consideration a multitude of factors including your individual needs, conditions and mobility.

A physiotherapist may use different approaches to treat and manage your condition, including movement and exercise, manual therapy and hydrotherapy.

Wonderful app wonderful service

Have been using this for a year to help my grandfather who frequently gets aspiration pneumonia and has difficulty leaving the house. The app is so easy to use, and the cherry on top is the wonderful service behind the app. Had some difficulty finding a doctor recently and Hakim called me back personally twice to ensure a doctor was found. Thank you so much, cannot recommend this app more.

Doctor is qualified, friendly

Had a good experience with Homage's teleconsultation. The doctor is qualified, friendly and guided me on examination. She also explained my symptoms to me in detail, which is useful. The report provided has detailed information, and medicine was delivered to me on the same day even though my appointment was in the evening.
