In our clinic, we treat all types of aches and pains. When they are sports related injuries, the pains can be classified as:
Acute - For instance when you sprain an ankle while playing basketball. Acute pain is signal to us that something is wrong and we shouldn't continue with that activity.
Nagging - these pains are caused by acute injuries that haven't healed properly or aches caused by overuse, muscular imbalances and/or improper technique in the sport.
Chronic - pain that is nagging and lasts more than six months. Chronic pain can be debilitating as it becomes ingrained in the psyche. Typically, treatment for chronic pain last longer than for acute pain patients. Goal oriented active care with assurance and some passive treatment has been demonstrated as the most effective means to treat it.
Are you suffering from any of these types of pain?
