Sports Injury

If you are an athlete, or like to lift weights, its easy to think injury and soreness is part of training- if you’re not sore most of the time… you’re not working hard enough… right?

Are you suffering from chronic ankle sprains, knee swelling, pain to the achilles or shoulder pain everytime you want to play sports? Plus… no matter how much you rest… it never REALLY goes away.

If that’s happening to you, you’re not alone - we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact, Sports Injuries are one of THE most common problems that we see in at Sumner Specialized Physical Therapy in Colville.

And when it comes to living with Sports Injuries, everybody we see wants to know the answers to these questions:

“Will I have to stop playing and how long?”...
or,
“Why am I still suffering with my Sports Injury no matter how much I rest it…it never REALLY goes away?”...

Most people think that when they get a Sports Injury , it’ll eventually “ease off” and go away on its own. That they’ll wake up one morning and like “magic”, and they can return to full sports without limits... But then 6 months later you’re still living with the nagging Sports Injury - often even worse than it was when it came on.

Does That Sound Like You?

Another scenario we see all the time in our physical therapy clinic is when people go to their Doctors, and the well-meaning Doctor tells them to “rest”, “take Advil” and “come back in 6 weeks if it’s no better” - but then 6 weeks later, they end up going back to the same Doctor again because it hasn’t got any better, only to be given ANOTHER prescription of even stronger pills, and maybe a ankle brace.

Has That Ever Happened To You?

Maybe you are confused because you’ve been told different things, by different people. Maybe you have tried a brace…is it the right one? Or some taping from a video on Youtube? Maybe you tried a new essential oil a friend swears will work?

It’s very confusing to know exactly what to do - and that’s just to avoid making the Sports Injury worse!

And because of this confusion - this often leads people to procrastinate and put off making a decision about what to do to help fix their Sports Injury. Worse, many people just end up accepting it as “part of life” - as if it’s normal, as if it “has” to be that way.

Is This How You Feel Too?

If You’re Currently Living With A Sports Injury, Here’s 5 More Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:

• 1. You thought it would go away on it’s own - but it didn’t

• 2. You went to the Doctor who told you to rest and take Advil and Ice it - but the pills did nothing to help, all they did was ‘mask’ the pain - and you hate the burning pain of ice.

• 3. A family member, or friend, told you to stop playing the sport you love

• 4. You sought help from other Healthcare Professionals or a PT in the past, but nothing they said or did seemed to help

• 5. You tried a few braces or taping but you don’t know if it is helping or hurting…plus it is confusing on how much “pull” to use on the tape.

• 5. You tried a few exercises from ‘Youtube’ - but they felt painful when you did them, and did nothing to ease the pain

“What Can I Do To Get Rid Of MY Sports Injury Quickly?”...

Well, here's 4 things you can do:

• 1. First off, you need to make a decision about getting help. So many people rest for weeks, hoping that the pain will ‘just go away with time’, but then 6 months down the line they’re still putting up with it, and nothing’s changed… Or the pain and swelling gets worse

• 2. Next, need to know the damage: How much damage have you created by continuing to play with an injury? A more significant injury will require a more advanced approach to return you to full activity.

• 3. You need the right equipment- Brace, taping, sleeves, creams, supports, compression garments??? What to use. Too many choices makes it hard to decide what to do!

• 4. Get real, “hands-on” PT - PT is proven to help people with Sports Injuries. In fact at the Sumner Specialized Physical Therapy it’s one of the most common issues we see people aged 40+ living with pain. If your Sports Injury is affecting your performance, if it stops you from playing at full, or if it threatens your time on the court/field and gets in the way of spending quality time with friends - Physica Therapy can help get you back to playing the game you love as quickly as possible.
