They understand the mechanics behind the injury and what needs to be done to get the players back on the field safely and quickly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Strain<\/strong>: This injury affects the muscles or tendons (the bands that attach muscles to bones). A strain is caused by a quick pull, twist or micro-tear of the muscle, especially when muscles are not stretched or warmed-up properly. \u00a0This acute injury causes pain and weakness. \u00a0A strain can also be referred to as a \u201cpulled muscle,\u201d and depending on the severity of a strain, other terms such as \u201cmuscle tear\u201d have been used.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sprain<\/strong>: Unlike a strain (which many use interchangeably with the term \u201csprain\u201d), this injury affects the ligaments, the bands of tissue that attach bones to other bones. A sprain is caused by the ligament being stretched beyond its capacity, and can range from a mild stretch to a complete tear. \u00a0Bruising, lack of stability, swelling and pain are common symptoms one might experience from this injury.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dislocation<\/strong>: \u00a0A dislocation is the displacement of a bone from a joint. The most common dislocations involve a finger, thumb, shoulder, or hip. A dislocation can cause loss of movement, temporary joint paralysis, pain and swelling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overuse<\/strong>: \u00a0An injury of the musculoskeletal system that results in tissue damage from repetitive demand over the course of time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cWith many of these common baseball injuries, the key to prevention and treatment is to have a good strength and conditioning program, good body mechanics, and the proper amount rest of for the body,\u201d says Kimberly Kollwelter, physical therapist and vice president of operations with ATI Physical Therapy.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately for baseball fans, most injuries are not life (or career) threatening for your favorite players. \u00a0With the proper diagnosis, rehabilitation and preventative care, these injuries can be short lived with little to no long-term effects.<\/p>\n<p>As the season winds down, let\u2019s hope it ends with your favorite team and players making it to the \u201cbig game\u201d on the diamond injury free. \u00a0If not, there\u2019s always next year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re a fan of baseball &#8212; or any other sport for
