Common Sports Injuries Treatment for Athletes at Walk-In Clinic AFC Urgent Care in Ridley, PA
AFC Urgent Care & Walk-In Clinic in Ridley, PA, treat sports injuries for both children and adults
While working out and playing sports is an excellent way to stay in shape year-round, many common injuries can result from sports. Awareness of these injuries and how they might arise is important, as some are easily preventable. At AFC Urgent Care Ridley in Delaware County, our physicians and nurses are experienced in diagnosing and preventing sports injuries for both children and adults. Here are some common injuries that can arise from playing sports:
- Ankle sprains
- Groin pull
- Hamstring strain
- Shin splints
- ACL tear
- Patellofemoral syndrome (Runner’s knee)
- Tennis elbow
- Golfer’s elbow
For all of these sports injuries, knowing your body’s limits and when to see a physician for treatment is important. Strains are one of the most common injuries from suddenly overstretching a muscle. Taking the necessary steps to prevent strains or pulls is easy to incorporate into a regular routine. Make sure you warm up first to increase blood flow to your muscles. It is also important to stretch before and after you play a sport to loosen your muscles and prevent tears. Also, be aware of muscle fatigue when you are being active. It is very important to rest periodically while sprinting or jumping.
At AFC Urgent Care Ridley, we offer convenient walk-in appointments to fit your busy schedule in Delco. Our urgent care services are flexible and varied, and our physicians are experienced in treating sports injuries. We look forward to helping you soon with all your medical needs!
