Most Common Winter Sports Injuries

As summer and autumn start to fade away, many people are turning their attention to the upcoming winter sports season, including basketball, skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating. But, these sports can come the risk of a variety of injuries. Just as the summer and autumn sports are known for their specific injuries, the winter sports have a few common injuries as well. We at Advanced Physical Medicine of Yorkville want everyone in Yorkville, Plano, Sandwich, Oswego, Montgomery, Sugar Grove, and Plainfield to understand common winter sports injuries and how chiropractic treatment can treat them.

Winter Sports Injuries and Chiropractic Treatment

Several injuries can occur while playing winter sports, including:

• Concussions, contusions, and other head injuries that can stem from collisions
• Knee sprains and strains that can develop while planting or changing direction
• Skier's thumb can occur when reaching out for something at high speeds
• Dislocations, particularly of the shoulder, can happen when falling on an outstretched arm
• Poor posture from competing can result in back pain
• Ankle sprains are likely to occur when planting or turning

The above injuries are only a few of the many possible outcomes when playing sports.
