You can even get injured in the gym if you don’t follow the proper technique. In the United States, it’s estimated that more than 8.6 million people complain of pain due to a sports injury every year. At least a third of those hurt suffered the injury while actively playing a sport. All sports injuries happen quickly, with either a hit or a wrong turn causing the damage. When you’re hurt in a sports injury, the most likely areas you feel pain involve your joints, such as your: - Elbow - Shoulder - Back, most likely your lower back - Hips - Knee - Foot or ankle - Neck and head Some injuries can serious — like a head injury that requires immediate medical attention.

When a fast-moving ball or another player hits you, you may be injured. In some sports, like football or hockey, you run the danger of being hit by someone awkwardly as they try to stop you from reaching your goal. Other sports, like basketball or soccer, call for quick changes of direction, which can twist your knee, foot, ankle or hip. Another way to get a sports injury is by overdoing it when you exercise. If you suddenly increase the duration or speed of a run or do more sets in the gym without warming up, you may end up being diagnosed with Achilles tendonitis, patellofemoral pain syndrome or elbow tendonitis. Other ways you can get injured include: - Osteoporosis, which makes your bones more susceptible to fractures - Muscle imbalance - Weak muscles, tendons or ligaments - A previous sports injury, like an ACL tear or a rotator cuff tear - Not working out or using the equipment in the gym the right way - Wearing improper shoes - Running with shoes that are worn down, especially in the heel area - Not using protective gear for high-impact sports The pain management specialists at New York Pain Care prefer non-surgical, interventional treatments.
