Grant Hill was once considered the most complete player in the game. He was emerging as the most sought-after player among corporate sponsors when an Achilles heel ended his career. Playing on a sprained ankle which got worse, forced him to leave halfway through the game. Though he underwent surgeries and therapies, the once-promising star was affected by aggravated injuries like sports hernia and groin injuries, which finally led to his untimely retirement. Sports injuries are not to be taken lightly. If ignored, it might end your career in less than a second.</p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;">Early diagnosis and proper treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries help sportspersons return to their forte safe and sound without delay. The most important step towards it is timely treatment. The earlier you seek medical attention, the better are your chances for a speedy recovery. Overuse injuries like tendonitis and stress fractures happen over time and won’t have obvious symptoms, which delay diagnosis and result in serious injuries or in worst cases, a disability.</p><h3 style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; line-height: 32px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-size: 25px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">When to see a sports medicine doctor?</h3><p style="line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;">The warning signs of a sports injury are as follows:</p><ul style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><li style="line-height: 24px;">Pain while bearing weight (includes foot/knee pain while walking)</li><li style="line-height: 24px;">Shooting pain in various areas</li><li style="line-height: 24px;">Sharp pain that keeps coming back</li><li style="line-height: 24px;">Pain that lingers and disrupts sleep and other daily activities</li><li style="line-height: 24px;">Numbness</li><li style="line-height: 24px;">Swelling – mild and major</li><li style="line-height: 24px;">Tightness, stiffness or grinding in joints</li><li style="line-height: 24px;">Weakness or inability to move a joint, arm or leg</li><li style="line-height: 24px;">Visible mass or deformity</li><li style="line-height: 24px;">Symptoms that persist even after rest</li><li style="line-height: 24px;">Difficulty in standing or walking</li><li style="line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Any undiagnosed condition that affects training or performance</li></ul><h3 style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; line-height: 32px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-size: 25px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">Sports Injury: Classification</h3><p style="line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;">Sports injuries are of major three types:</p><ul style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><li style="line-height: 24px;">Acute injuries (Sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, growth plate separation, torn cartilage, bruises, cuts, scrapes, pinched nerves, herniated disks)</li><li style="line-height: 24px;">Overuse injuries (such as tendonitis, shin splints, stress fracture, growth plate problems like Osgood-Schlatter, Sever’s disease, or Little League elbow, bursitis, fasciitis, compartment syndrome, nerve entrapment, spondylolysis)</li><li style="line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Medical conditions (such as concussion, fever, skin infections, abdominal pain, cardiac conditions, respiratory diseases, heat injury)</li></ul><h3 style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; line-height: 32px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-size: 25px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;">Why choose Sunrise Hospital to treat Sports Injury?</h3><p style="line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;">The Department of Orthopaedics at Sunrise Group of Hospitals, equipped with the state’s best bone specialists, is rated as the best among Accident and Trauma Care Units.

He was emerging as the most sought-after player among corporate sponsors when an Achilles heel ended his career. Playing on a sprained ankle which got worse, forced him to leave halfway through the game. Though he underwent surgeries and therapies, the once-promising star was affected by aggravated injuries like sports hernia and groin injuries, which finally led to his untimely retirement. Sports injuries are not to be taken lightly. If ignored, it might end your career in less than a second.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;\"\u003eEarly diagnosis and proper treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries help sportspersons return to their forte safe and sound without delay. The most important step towards it is timely treatment. The earlier you seek medical attention, the better are your chances for a speedy recovery. Overuse injuries like tendonitis and stress fractures happen over time and won’t have obvious symptoms, which delay diagnosis and result in serious injuries or in worst cases, a disability.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; line-height: 32px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-size: 25px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;\"\u003eWhen to see a sports medicine doctor?\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;\"\u003eThe warning signs of a sports injury are as follows:\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cli style=\"line-height: 24px;\"\u003ePain while bearing weight (includes foot/knee pain while walking)\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli style=\"line-height: 24px;\"\u003eShooting pain in various areas\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli style=\"line-height: 24px;\"\u003eSharp pain that keeps coming back\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli style=\"line-height: 24px;\"\u003ePain that lingers and disrupts sleep and other daily activities\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli style=\"line-height: 24px;\"\u003eNumbness\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli style=\"line-height: 24px;\"\u003eSwelling – mild and major\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli style=\"line-height: 24px;\"\u003eTightness, stiffness or grinding in joints\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli style=\"line-height: 24px;\"\u003eWeakness or inability to move a joint, arm or leg\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli style=\"line-height: 24px;\"\u003eVisible mass or deformity\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli style=\"line-height: 24px;\"\u003eSymptoms that persist even after rest\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli style=\"line-height: 24px;\"\u003eDifficulty in standing or walking\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli style=\"line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eAny undiagnosed condition that affects training or performance\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; line-height: 32px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-size: 25px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;\"\u003eSports Injury: Classification\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;\"\u003eSports injuries are of major three types:\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cli style=\"line-height: 24px;\"\u003eAcute injuries (Sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, growth plate separation, torn cartilage, bruises, cuts, scrapes, pinched nerves, herniated disks)\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli style=\"line-height: 24px;\"\u003eOveruse injuries (such as tendonitis, shin splints, stress fracture, growth plate problems like Osgood-Schlatter, Sever’s disease, or Little League elbow, bursitis, fasciitis, compartment syndrome, nerve entrapment, spondylolysis)\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli style=\"line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 0px;\"\u003eMedical conditions (such as concussion, fever, skin infections, abdominal pain, cardiac conditions, respiratory diseases, heat injury)\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif; font-weight: 700; line-height: 32px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-size: 25px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;\"\u003eWhy choose Sunrise Hospital to treat Sports Injury?\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"line-height: 24px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-family: Lato; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 15px !important;\"\u003eThe Department of Orthopaedics at Sunrise Group of Hospitals, equipped with the state’s best bone specialists, is rated as the best among Accident and Trauma Care Units.
