Sports Injuries We Treat

At OALI, we specialize in a wide range of sports-related conditions and injures. Here are some of the key areas we focus on, with detailed information about their symptoms, causes, and treatment options.

Hip Injuries

Common hip injuries from sports often involve overuse, trauma, or improper technique. These injuries include:

  1. Hip Strains: Occur when the muscles or tendons around the hip are stretched or torn, often due to sudden movements or overuse.
  2. Hip Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that reduces friction, caused by repetitive stress or direct trauma to the hip.
  3. Hip Labral Tears: Damage to the cartilage that surrounds the hip joint, often from twisting or pivoting movements.
  4. Hip Fractures: Breaks in the hip bone, typically resulting from high-impact sports or falls, especially in older athletes.
  5. Hip Dislocations: Occur when the head of the femur slips out of the hip socket, often due to severe trauma.
  6. Snapping Hip Syndrome: Characterized by a snapping sensation or sound when the hip is moved, usually caused by tight muscles or tendons.
Knee Injuries

Common knee injuries from sports often result from high-impact activities, sudden movements, or overuse. These include:

  1. ACL Tears: A tear of the anterior cruciate ligament, often caused by sudden stops, changes in direction, or jumping.
  2. Meniscus Tears: Damage to the cartilage that cushions the knee joint, frequently occurring from twisting or pivoting movements.
  3. Patellar Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shinbone, often from repetitive jumping or running.
  4. MCL Injuries: Sprains or tears of the medial collateral ligament, usually from a direct blow to the outside of the knee.
  5. Runner’s Knee (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome): Pain around the kneecap, typically from overuse or improper tracking of the patella.
  6. Knee Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa near the knee joint, often due to repetitive kneeling or direct impact.
Shoulder Injuries
Common shoulder injuries from sports typically result from repetitive motions, overuse, or trauma. These include:
  1. Rotator Cuff Tears: Damage to the group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder, often from repetitive overhead motions or heavy lifting.
  2. Shoulder Dislocations: Occur when the upper arm bone pops out of the shoulder socket, typically from a fall or direct impact.
  3. Shoulder Impingement: Inflammation or pinching of the rotator cuff tendons under the shoulder blade, usually from repetitive overhead activities.
  4. Labral Tears: Injury to the cartilage surrounding the shoulder socket, often from repetitive motions or a fall on an outstretched arm.
  5. Shoulder Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa in the shoulder, caused by repetitive movements or direct trauma.
  6. Shoulder Fractures: Breaks in the collarbone, shoulder blade, or upper arm bone, usually from a fall or high-impact collision.
Leg Injuries

Common leg injuries from sports often involve muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones due to overuse, strain, or impact. These include:

  1. Hamstring Strains: Tears in the muscles at the back of the thigh, often caused by sudden acceleration or deceleration.
  2. Shin Splints: Pain along the shinbone, typically from repetitive stress or running on hard surfaces.
  3. Quadriceps Strains: Tears in the front thigh muscles, usually from sudden stops, starts, or forceful kicking.
  4. Calf Strains: Tears in the calf muscles, often resulting from sudden pushing off or jumping.
