This article is about the medicinal treatment. For the House episode, see Sports Medicine (House). Sports medicine specializes in preventing, diagnosing and treating injuries related to participating in sports and/or exercise, specifically the rotation or deformation of joints or muscles caused by engaging in such physical activities. [edit] Common Sports InjuriesConcussion- caused by severe head trauma where the brain moves violently within the skull so that brain cells all fire at once, much like a seizure Muscle Cramps- a sudden tight, intense pain caused by a muscle locked in spasm. Muscle cramps are also recognized as an involuntary and forcibly contracted muscle that does not relax ACL Sprains- The anterior crutiate ligament (ACL) is a ligament involved in knee stabilization. An ACL rupture can occur when the foot is planted and the knee twists to change direction. Ankle Sprain- The ligaments that hold the ankle bones in place can easily be stretched out. Shin Splints- The tissue that attaches the muscles of your lower leg to the shin bone may be pulling away from the bone, or it may be inflamed from overuse. [1] [edit] See also
