Fact vs. Fiction: Debunking Sports Injury Myths
Don’t believe everything you hear. This old adage also rings true when it comes to sports injuries. You’ve probably encountered a few coaches or friends who are sure they know exactly what your injury is, why you have it and how to treat it. Following are a few common sports injury myths and the truth behind them.
•Following ACL reconstruction and recovery, the knee will be stronger than it was prior to the injury. Unfortunately, this is simply not true. Your original ACL will always be stronger than a replacement. Your natural tissues will always support your knee more effectively. However, if the procedure and recovery goes well, a replacement can develop comparable strength.
•Curveballs cause injury in young pitchers. In reality, poor technique and overuse more likely causes injury in young pitchers. It’s not throwing a particular pitch that puts a player at risk. It’s that certain pitches are more difficult to execute properly.
•Heat after an injury will help with healing. This isn’t always true. Check out this blog post, which debates whether ice or heat is more effective in relieving the symptoms associated with injury. You should never apply heat to a swollen or inflamed injury.
•If you have shin splints, you should run on them until the pain subsides. Shin splints are usually the result of overuse and should be treated with rest, ice and anti-inflammatory medication. When you return to running, look into preventative measures, such as key stretches and making sure your shoes fit and are compatible to your foot-type.
Remember that every injury is different and your best bet is to speak to a physician if you have a sports injury that will not go away.
An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment. I believe that you need to publish more on this topic, it might not be a taboo matter but usually people don’t speak about such topics. To the next! Kind regards!!
I could not refrain from commenting. Exceptionally well written!
The next time I read a blog, Hopefully it does not fail me as much as this one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read through, however I truly thought you’d have something helpful to say. All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something you could possibly fix if you were not too busy seeking attention.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!|
