Sports Injuries
Sunday 01st, October
Involvement with sports is great for the body and mind; however all sports have the potential to produce injuries. I see people with injuries from all sports from GAA to cricket to darts. If these injuries are addressed promptly you have a better chance at full recovery.
I offer treatments for a range of sports related injuries for youngsters, young at heart and advanced athletes. I strive to keep people active with their training or a modified form of it. I will, however tell you if I think you need to cease activity because you may further aggravate your injury by training. I have seen people barely able to walk and one month later able to run 7 marathons in 7 days. Another couldn't run 2miles then able to return to training for a triathlon in 2 weeks.
Some of the common conditions I treat include:
• Back pain-sprain/strains, disc or facet injuries
• Neck pain- burners/stingers, thoracic outlet syndrome
• Shoulder: rotator cuff tear, swimmer’s shoulder, impingement syndrome, etc
• Tennis and Golf elbow
• Knee and hip pain- tendonitis, patella tracking, Iliotibial band, bursitis, cartilage, etc
• Ankle, foot, and shin injuries- plantar fascitis, jammed toes, general misalignments, sprains, etc
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or you don't see your condition above. Dr. Accardi
