Sports Injury Specialist Brisbane!
We can help you with holistic sports injury treatment.
Sports injuries are commonly caused by direct impact, over use or continued force on a body part much greater than it’s able to withstand. An injury that occurs suddenly is called an acute injury, such as a sprained ankle. An injury that intensifies over time is called a chronic injury and is caused by the continued overuse of the same muscle group or joint, for example a stress fracture in the lower leg from jogging. Incorrect technique or physical abnormalities may also contribute to chronic injuries.
Some signs of an acute injury that require immediate medical attention may be:
- Sudden, severe pain
- Swelling
- Inability to carry weight
- Inability to move a joint through its full range of motion
- Extreme tenderness in an upper limb.
Some signs of a chronic injury may include:
- Pain when performing a specific activity
- A dull ache, even whilst at rest
- Repeated swelling after performing a specific activity.

When should I see a Sports Injury Therapist?
If after a couple of days of rest, the pain continues, all injuries should be investigated by a sports injury specialist as it may be more serious than it first appears.
