Acute vs. Overuse Sports Injuries
Know the Difference
Sports injuries typically fall into two main types:
- Acute injuries happen suddenly, often from a fall, twist, or collision. Examples include:
- Sprained ankles
- Muscle strains
- Dislocated joints
- Overuse injuries develop over time from repetitive movements or improper technique. These include:
- Tendonitis
- Stress fractures
- Shin splints
