Sports injuries

To treat sports injuries but also avoid recurrences, a consultation with a sports doctor, as well as physiotherapy sessions, are necessary.

Sports injuries

If sport is above all a pleasure, and has many benefits for your health, we must not lose sight of the risk of injury, which is always present.

Whether you are a Sunday athlete or a professional athlete! So much so that there is a medical specialty, sports traumatology, entirely devoted to the treatment of injuries directly or indirectly caused by sports practice.

Tendonitis, sprains, dislocations, fractures... a sports accident can cause many traumas, mild or more serious. To treat you but also avoid recurrences, a consultation with a sports doctor, as well as physiotherapy sessions, will certainly be necessary.

Tendonopathy

Tendinopathies are tendons damage.
This pathology has become better understood for a few years and recent treatments have made it possible to better treat the many patients who suffer from tendons.

Tendonopathies are a common condition; you can suffer from it if you are an athlete of course, but also in certain professions where repetitive gestures excessively stress certain parts of the body. In everyday language, the words tendinitis and tendinopathy are used as if they were equivalent, but these two terms designate different realities:

Tendonitis refers only to an inflammation of a tendon. Tendinopathy is a more comprehensive term, which groups together all the pathologies that can affect a tendon (therefore inflammation, but also other problems such as tendon cracking, calcification, tendon rupture, nodule or enthesopathy) In general, inflammation can lead to one or more of these pathologies, so there is a link between the two.

The most frequently encountered tendonitis and tendinopathies in sport and elsewhere concern:
- The shoulder (rotator cape)
- The knee (crow's foot tendonitis and wiper syndrome)
- The Achilles tendon
- The elbow (epicondylitis and epitrochleitis)
- The wrist
- The hip

Sprain

Most frequently affecting the ankle, sprain is a ligament trauma that requires management to allow, among other things, rapid and total healing. Definition, types, causes, symptoms, treatments... here's everything you need to know about sprain.

Sprain defines a trauma characterised by the injury or stretching of one or more ligaments of a joint. There are several degrees of severity of the sprain, ranging from benign sprain (stage I) with simple ligament stretching to severe sprain (stage III) associated with a ligament rupture. The middle sprain (stage II) refers to the intermediate state between stretching and rupture, namely the tearing of the ligament.
