Causes and Treatments of Sports Injuries

Achilles Tendonitis

Achilles tendonitis is a common overuse sports injury. Pain can be anywhere from the back of the heel all the way up the back of the lower leg. Dr. Manson often uses diagnostic ultrasound to rule out a tear of the achilles tendon. It is usually treated with immobilization, rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medication, and in some cases physical therapy.

Ankle Sprains

Ankle sprains are a common sports injury, but can also occur during your normal life. Chronic ankle sprains can lead to ankle instability and ankle weakness. Diagnosis typically involves a physical exam, X-rays, and diagnostic ultrasound. Treatment of ankle sprains can involve immobilization, icing, rest, anti-inflammatory medications, steroid injections, and physical therapy.

Shin Splints

Shin splints can occur on the front of the lower leg and back of the lower leg. It is a wear and tear type injury that usually occurs in very active people or with a recent increase in activity level. The muscle gets inflamed where it attaches to the bone on the lower leg causing pain. Treatment often involves immobilization, icing, rest, anti-inflammatory medications, custom orthotics, and physical therapy.

Turf Toe

Turf toe results from bending the big toe up too far and usually occurs playing sports on an artificial grass field. Turf toe can often be treated conservatively with immobilization and rest. Rarely, surgical correction is required.

Stress Fractures

Stress fractures are another overuse injury and a common sports injury. It usually occurs with an increase in activity or intensity level, or a change in sport or activity. A stress fracture is an incomplete fracture and often can’t be seen on X-rays for a few weeks, once healing has started. Treatment often involves immobilization, icing, rest, anti-inflammatory medications, and custom orthotics.

Sports Injuries Treatment Cost

The total cost of Sports Injuries Treatments / Surgery is determined based on factors like your medical examinations, surgeon’s fee, hospital charges, post-surgery garments, and anesthesia. The exact techniques used will also impact cost, as will the total time needed to perform the surgery.
