General Orthopedics

Tennis is a high-energy sport that can be hard on all the major joints of the body. The acute and chronic injuries that occur from playing tennis are known as tennis injuries. About two-thirds of the injuries are chronic or overuse injuries that affect the shoulders, elbows, and wrists. The remaining one-third are traumatic injuries that usually affect the lower extremities.

A sprain is the stretching or tearing of ligaments. Ligaments connect adjacent bones and provide stability to a joint. An ankle sprain is a common injury that occurs when you suddenly fall or twist the ankle joint, or when you land your foot in an awkward position after a jump. Most commonly, it occurs when you participate in sports, or jump or run on a surface that is irregular.

Orthopedic and sports rehabilitation is a specialized branch of physical therapy and healthcare focused on the assessment, treatment, and prevention of injuries and conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. It encompasses various therapeutic approaches to help patients recover from conditions such as fractures, joint replacements, ligament tears, and chronic pain.
