Chesterfield Sports Injury Management
What is meant by sports injury?
When we use the term sports injury, we mean to include ailments that are a result of being active. One does not have to be participating in an organized sport to sustain a sports injury. Retired people that play golf three times a week are liable for these injuries as well as a soccer mom who does cross fit. We believe that everybody should treat their body like they are "athletes". This requires a dedicated approach through being active but also with how they care for their body.
How are sports injuries caused?
Sports injuries can occur as a result of acute trauma or chronic wear and tear. Acute injuries tend to occur spontaneously and may or may not have had any pre-existing problem. These can be minor or severe and are hard to prevent. Chronic injuries usually involve a process of tissue breakdown over time. Eventually the tissue dysfunction leads to an actual injury. The chronic process can involve poor training habits, poor recovery process, and even poor diet and sleep. When evaluating someone that has sustained an injury while being active, it is important to evaluate the whole kinetic chain. Click here to read about our functional approach.
