Recently, more and more people have been taking their doctors’ advice to live more active lives. From weekend warriors to fitness enthusiasts, people are experiencing the benefits of regular exercise. Unfortunately for some people, there is a risk of injury as well. Simply watch a podcast now.

Common sports injuries include sprains, knee injuries, shin splints, dislocations and fractures, to name a few. Sports injuries may result from accidents, poor conditioning, failure to warm up or lack of conditioning; and they may affect virtually any part of your body.

Fortunately, most sports injuries can be treated effectively, allowing those who suffer to get back into the game they love. Consult with Mercy’s sports medicine specialists to learn how to prevent or treat these debilitating injuries.
