Therapist gives tips to avoid sports injury
By JENNIFER WYRICK
Staff writer
The number of people exercising today is increasing. And so is the number of sports-related injuries.
Mike Chapman, registered physical therapist at Watkins Hospital, spoke last night at the hospital about sports injuries and offered tips to safeguard against them.
"The problems occur in the connective tissues of the tendons, ligaments, cartilage and joints because they take six to nine months to show any improvement." Chapman said.
Injured connective tissue heals slowly because the tissue doesn't receive a large amount of blood. Connective tissue injuries are associated with the "tissues," such as tendinitis or bursitis, which cause inflammation, he said.
A shin splint, which causes lower leg pain, is an injury common to all ages. It may be caused by overuse or by performing a new activity, such as aerobics, on a hard surface, Chapman said.
To treat shin splints properly, heat should be applied to the painful area before an activity, and stretching
should be done after exercising. Chapman said.
A stress fracture is a common sports-related injury that is hard to detect, Chapman said. A stress fracture occurs when the body focuses stress on one part of the system. To treat a stress fracture, the injured part of the body should be rested until pain disappears.
Chapman said an injured area should be protected, and the individual should do exercises different from the one that caused the injury. Heat and ice applications should start soon after the injury.
ice should be rubbed across the injured area only until the area becomes numb. Chapman said that if ice were applied longer than 10 minutes, the muscle could become frostbitten.
Although heat treatments feel better than ice treatments, ice is much more effective. Chapman said. Ice treatments should never be applied before exercise because they stiffen muscles and can cause injury.
A short warm-up and a short period of exercise to loosen the muscles should precede a workout.
