Staying active and playing sports can look like a lot of different things. Going to the gym on a regular basis, running consistently, joining a rec league basketball team, etc. These are all great ways to stay healthy and in good shape, but with movement sometimes comes injury, and that’s where we come in. If you’ve recently tweaked something while being active, it might be time to explore sports injury treatment in Benbrook, TX (pain clinics also in Flower Mound & Benbrook, TX), with a team that understands how to get you back on your feet.
Sports injuries don’t always start with a dramatic fall or a loud pop that makes you lose your breath in the moment. Sometimes it’s a slow-building ache or a pain that simply won’t go away. Whether you’re dealing with a pulled muscle, sprained ankle, or sore shoulder, knowing when to seek help can make all the difference in how quickly and how well you recover.
What Counts as a “Sports Injury”?
Sports injuries usually involve the soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, or tendons) that help your body move. Common issues include:
- Sprains (stretched or torn ligaments)
- Strains (pulled or torn muscles/tendons)
- Joint inflammation
- Overuse injuries (like tennis elbow or runner’s knee)
These injuries can trigger what’s called acute pain, aka the kind that comes on suddenly, usually from a specific event, and typically goes away once the tissue heals. It’s different from chronic pain, which can linger for months or longer.
