Is a sports injury stopping you from playing your favorite sport?
Head on over to Next Level Physio in Bergen County, NJ & Cary, NC and get the much needed relief from your pain.
Pulled muscles, sprains, strains, and even fractures are just some of the possible sports injuries that can happen to professional, recreational, and amateur athletes. These injuries are usually more severe than those sustained at work or home, requiring rehabilitation techniques and several rounds of physical therapy to restore complete functionality to the impacted area.
Overuse injuries are fairly common and even though they might initially not appear to be severe in nature. However, if they are left untreated, they can rapidly turn into a debilitating condition. For example, a sore muscle or joint from tennis, golfing, pitching, or swimming can lead to significant pain that can potentially prevent you from playing for an entire season or even derail your promising career.
