 If you’ve had a sports injury, it’s likely that it occurred in one of the major joints used during exercise or sports. Some of the most frequently injured body parts include knees, shoulders, ankles and elbows. Certain precautions such as stretching and knowing your limits can dramatically reduce the risk of injuries to these vulnerable joints. Virtually all sports injuries can generally be defined as either cumulative or acute. Cumulative injuries occur over time due to stress on muscles, soft tissues and joints without adequate time for healing. They typically begin as a small, nagging pain and can grow to a debilitating condition if not recognized and treated. In contrast, an acute injury is a sudden trauma that requires immediate attention. Whether your injury is acute or cumulative, the Sports Medicine Center at Emory Healthcare offers world-class care and treatments that are unmatched by other providers.

A number of sports injuries occur because a muscle wears out due to aging. This is typical with rotator cuff tears. Many think they have a tear when in fact if they are under 40, it’s most likely a labral tear and not a rotator cuff tear.
