Traumatic
sports injuries Atlanta mainly
consist of
- Bruise or contusion
- Strain
- Sprain
- Bone facture
- Wounds
- Head injury
- Spinal cord injury
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.
