Sports injuries can occur for many reasons, including direct impact with equipment or surfaces and indirect forces like torquing, overextension, and strain. Most injuries that occur during sports activities involve the musculoskeletal system or nervous system, including soft tissue injuries that involve the muscles, ligaments, and tendons, and injuries that can cause compression of the nerves in the spine and elsewhere. Because so many components and structures can involve in a sports injury, a whole-patient, customized approach to care is essential in order to achieve the best possible results.
