The Sprains and Strains of
Sporting Injuries:
As a part of our relationship with
Nationwide Children’s Hospital Sports Medicine,
monthly articles on sports medicine will be
provided to educate the club’s parents and
players. This month the focus is on "The Sprains
and Strains of Sporting Injuries":
-
Sprains and strains
are some of the most common types of
injuries in any sport.
-
Sprains occur to
ligaments, while strains involve muscles or
tendons.
-
Severity of the injury
is best determined by a Physician or
Certified Athletic Trainer
-
Immediate first aid
for all sprains and strains follows the
acronym RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression and
Elevation.
-
If the athlete can’t
bear weight (for about four steps), further
evaluation and x-rays will be needed.

minor/treatable injuries plague your soccer
season. Take action and stay in the game!
