Pain associated with sports is pretty common. Athletes can experience wear & tear / repetitive motion injuries or acute event trauma.
Wear and Tear / Repetitive Motion Injury: Think about some of the sports like lacrosse, baseball, golf, and tennis. The athlete is doing the same motion, with force, over and over multiple times in a game or for prolonged periods like in a tournament. The muscles and tendons are overworked and do not have time to heal before they ae used again.
Acute Event Trauma: These injuries can be pined to an event or game where the athlete knows they “did something” — they turned, wrong, landed wrong, tripped, etc. The athletes sprain their ankle, tears a tendon, and so on.
Either way, sports Injuries are so common. Kids are more active and competitive than they have ever been. They also don’t want to ” miss out” and often return to play too fast or without any treatment. This can cause a chronic or more severe injury.
