6 Most Common Sports Injuries

Injuries are often simply a part of life. While one can get injured fairly easily walking down the street, it's far more likely that one will sustain an injury during the course of exercise. While being active is always a good way to ensure one's health, it is also the root cause of some of the most common injuries in the world.Common sports injuries tend to be looked down upon for being simple, but the truth is that ignoring them can be dangerous. These injuries are common not because they are easy to deal with, but rather because they happen so often. There are certain motions undertaken during the playing of sports that make specific injuries far more likely to occur during the course of play than in other circumstances. Even then, these injuries can occur in daily life and are often just as severe - and may even have more dire consequences for those who are not in good physical shape.The most common sports injuries range from what might be considered minor nuisances to career-ending problems. Each of these injuries can present as a simple problem, but most have more severe variations that require the help of a doctor. Understanding what causes these injuries and how they present is a good first step to determining whether or not you need medical help. At the very least, understanding exactly how common these injuries are can help anyone to have a good idea to expect when they are in pain. Below are six of the more common sports injuries.

1. Ankle Sprain

Ankle sprains are remarkably common. Most individuals will suffer from a sprain in their lifetimes, and in most cases, they are not terribly severe. In most cases, ankle sprains are caused by rapid shifting movement that occurs when the foot is otherwise planted. While you can often receive a sprain when you participate in sporting events, it's not uncommon to suffer a sprain after tripping or even after an uncertainly-placed step.Sprains happen when the ligaments on the outside of the ankle stretch farther than intended. In some severe cases, these ligaments can even tear. Pain and swelling start almost immediately, but there are some easily identified differences between normal sprains and those that need medical attention. When a strain isn't severe, it's possible - albeit painful - to keep walking. If a pain is more severe, your ankle might feel a bit wobbly and it might not be possible to walk steadily. It's also common in severe sprains to feel something tear, often with an audible pop or snap. If that occurs, it's usually a good idea to visit a physician to make sure that you aren't dealing with something more severe.Next
