Overview

• Sports activities are very beneficial for our
  overall health and well-being but sometimes lead
  to injuries as well. Getting adequate rest,
  eating a well-balanced diet, hydrating, and
  warming up before playing can minimize the risk
  of sports injuries but cannot eliminate them
  completely. If you have developed any
  musculoskeletal injury, then you should consult
  an orthopaedic surgeon. AOSM is a popular medical
  centre that is known for having the best
  orthopaedic surgeons in Delhi.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

• Usually, people who do repetitive movements (like
  sewing or typing) develop carpal tunnel syndrome.
  It is a painful condition due to compression of
  the median nerve of the hand. Symptoms of this
  condition are numbness, pain, and tingling in the
  index finger, thumb, and middle finger. Treatment
  of this problem includes physical therapy,
  medication, and braces.

Plantar Fasciitis

• In simple terms, it is the ligament that attaches
  your toes to the heel. If this ligament gets
  stretched too far then it leads to severe pain
  and swelling in the heel. Usually, doctors
  recommend surgery for this problem.

6
Tennis Elbow

• This injury occurs due to overuse of the elbows
  tendons. Usually, this problem happens to
  plumbers, painters, hairdressers, and carpenters.
  Treatment of this problem includes pain
  relievers, physiotherapy, and rest.

Foot and Ankle Sprains

• A sprain occurs when a ligament between two
  adjacent bones is torn. Well, this problem can be
  treated with the RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression,
  and Elevation). However, some severe cases
  require additional medical treatment.
