Athletic Injuries

It is a fact that people who do sports either professionally or as a hobby often suffer from injuries. Such injuries are usually due to increased pressure on the legs during sports activity. For example, when we run the body absorbs up to 3 times its weight in each step. Research has shown that 79% of those who run systematically as a way of exercising, are injured within 1 year and 70% of these injuries recur. Lower limb injuries account for 72% of all running injuries.

The key to treating sports injuries is a valid diagnosis. Once the correct diagnosis is made, treatment begins. Of course, in addition to the treatment of a specific injury, it is very important to focus on prevention of further injuries, through a detailed clinical examination.
