Sports injuries are very common, especially among professional athletes. They can include a wide range of injuries, including breaks, sprains and dislocations. If you have suffered this type of injury, you may need Sydney Sports & Orthopaedic Physiotherapy to get yourself back in the game. Your family doctor can refer you to a good physiotherapist.
Physiotherapists who specialize in treating sports injuries can assess your injury and recommend an appropriate course of treatment. One of the most important steps to healing these types of injuries is to rest the affected limb or joint. This means you may have to forgo sports activities for a while. Your physiotherapist may also suggest other steps for reducing any swelling and managing pain discomfort. Your orthopedic surgeon will elevate whether surgery is necessary to set a broken bone or correct any damaged muscles or ligaments.
