Traumatic sports injuries Atlanta mainly consist of

Soft tissues experience trauma in the body during athletic activities and damaged or dead cells release certain chemicals. They initiate inflammatory response, resulting in sports injuries Atlanta. The characteristics of inflammation are pain, heat, localized swelling, loss of function, and redness. During sports activities, the trauma damages small blood vessels and they get opened up to produce bleeding within body tissues. A small blood clot forms as normal body reaction to stop the bleeding. Special cells known as fibroblasts start a natural healing process from this clot by laying down all scar tissues. The inflammatory stage is the beginning phase of natural healing but a very high inflammatory response could delay the healing process. Treatments for this type of sports injuries Atlanta intend to minimize this inflammatory phase to accelerate overall healing.

There are several approaches to treat sports injuries. One process is termed as PRICES, which is protect, rest, ice, compression, elevation, and stabilize. Another process is danger and response. Third treatment of sports injuries is airway, breathing, and circulation or ABC. Fourth type of treatment is TOTAPS or talk, observe, touch, active movement, passive movement, and skills test. Another common treatment method is RICE or rest, ice, compression, and elevation.

When you suffer from any sports related injuries, you should immediately stop the athletic activity. Continuation of the activity could lead to more harm. Treatment of sports injuries Atlanta begins with the process of relieving pain, reducing swelling, and speeding up the process of healing. Depending on the type of injury, the physician might prescribe pain relievers or keep the injured area immobile. Rehabilitation and surgery might be required for serious injuries. Most of the injuries occur due to poor training practices, accidents, or improper gear. Even if a person is not in good shape or is not in a fit condition, injuries would occur. Inadequate warming up or not stretching enough could also result in injuries.
