What Is a Sports Injury?

A sports injury is any type of injury that happens when you’re engaging in different types of physical activity. They usually have a great impact on the area’s mobility and functionality. While many people believe that only professional athletes get sports injuries, the reality is that you can also get one by doing your normal exercise routine or even by playing with your pet or kids.

At Genesis Orthopaedic, we treat an array of foot, ankle, hip, knee, elbow, shoulder issues related to sports accidents. Some of the most common injuries our team serves are:

  • Shin splints
  • Strains
  • Sprains
  • Fractures
  • Pulled or torn muscles
  • Joint dislocation
  • Concussions
  • Neck pain
  • Back pain
  • Tendinitis

If you are suffering from sharp and/or constant pain in a certain part of your body after a sudden movement or impact during physical activity, ice the area, rest, and set up an appointment with our skilled team at our Westfield, West Orange, Morristown, Ridgewood, or Middletown locations.

How Are Sports Injuries in New Jersey Diagnosed?

When you get to any of our Genesis Orthopaedic facilities, you will be met by a caring and skilled staff so you can start your path to recovery in the best hands. You will discuss with your provider your symptoms and what led up to your injury. After that, they will perform a physical exam to identify the extent of your pain and any other warning signs such as swelling, redness, unusual bumps, etc.

In case it’s needed, your specialist will use our in-house digital X-ray technology to properly recognize further displacement or internal issues that can’t be diagnosed through a normal examination. For most of our patients, there’s no need to have a second appointment or traveling to a different location in order to get a proper diagnosis.
