Sports injuries are common for athletes and fitness enthusiasts, but not all injuries are the same. At Bayside Orthopaedics in Beenleigh, led by Dr. Sanjay Joshi, understanding the difference between acute and chronic sports injuries is essential for effective treatment and faster recovery.
Dr. Joshi, with extensive experience from Johannesburg, South Africa—considered the trauma capital of the world—has managed numerous trauma cases, including acute trauma from sports injuries. He specializes in acute trauma treatment and caters to both WorkCover cases and private patients.
What are Acute Sports Injuries?
Acute injuries occur suddenly, typically due to trauma or impact during sports activities. Examples include:
· Sprained ankles
· Fractures
· Dislocated joints
· Muscle tears
These injuries require immediate attention. Dr. Joshi emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and intervention for optimal recovery. At Bayside Orthopaedics, Beenleigh, we offer immediate consultations for acute trauma, ensuring timely treatment to prevent complications.
Chronic Sports Injuries
Unlike acute injuries, chronic injuries develop over time, often due to repetitive motion or overuse of specific muscles and joints. Common chronic sports injuries include:
· Tendonitis
· Stress fractures
· Shin splints
· Tennis elbow
Chronic injuries typically worsen with time, and ignoring symptoms can lead to long-term damage. Dr. Joshi recommends early intervention to prevent further deterioration and restore functionality.
Why Timely Treatment Matters
Delaying treatment for either acute or chronic injuries can have long-lasting consequences. Dr. Joshi keeps several theatre slots available for acute trauma patients in Beenleigh, ensuring timely intervention. Whether it’s an emergency or a long-term issue, Bayside Orthopaedics offers tailored treatment plans designed for fast recovery.
