Below are five common basketball injuries their causes, symptoms and what to do if they happen to you.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sprained Ankle from Basketball<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>Other names:<\/em>\u00a0Twisted ankle, rolled ankle<\/p>\n<p><em>Causes:<\/em>\u00a0A sprained ankle occurs when the ankle ligaments are torn or stretched too far because of rolling or turning of the foot.<\/p>\n<p><em>Symptoms:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Swelling<\/li>\n<li>Bruising<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty walking<\/li>\n<li>Instability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Treatment:<\/em>\u00a0Typically, a sprained ankle will heal on its own. In the past the use of the (P)RICE method was widely used when it comes to treating an ankle sprain. Recent evidence is moving towards a more active than passive approach, ARITA, or Active Rehab Is The Answer.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a modified version of the PRICE to incorporate more Active Rehab principles<\/p>\n<p>Protection:\u00a0Using crutches, boot or splint to limit use in more severe cases may be needed, but in most case may not be needed as one thought.<\/p>\n<p>Rest:\u00a0for the first 24-48 hours you will want to limit your weight bearing physical activities, especially those that will aggravate the area such as running or jumping. During these first few days you will want to continue with unweighted active range of motion movements like gentle ankle pumps.<\/p>\n<p>Ice:\u00a0Ice your ankle in 15-20-minute increments to reduce swelling if there is a need to keep the swelling under control. It is important to understand that mild to moderate swelling is normal with this kind of injury and is a natural part of the beginning stages of healing.\u00a0 Avoid putting the ice directly on the swollen area. Use a buffer such as a towel between the ice and the skin.<\/p>\n<p>Elevate:\u00a0Again, mild to moderate swelling is normal, but if swelling needs to be more actively managed you can use pillows to elevate your ankle while you are sitting or lying down. The goal is to have your ankle higher than your heart.<\/p>\n<p>Active:\u00a0Once the initial swelling and pain has subsided after the first couple days you can continue to work on motion exercises and slowly introduce light weight bearing. This active approach will get you back on the road to recovery.<\/p>\n<h3>Achille\u2019s Tendonitis From Basketball<\/h3>\n<p><em>Causes:<\/em>\u00a0For basketball players, the constant and quick starts and stops along with repetitive jumping can lead to Achille\u2019s tendonitis. It may also be a result of weak calf muscles or increasing training intensity too quickly, especially at the beginning of the season.<\/p>\n<p><em>Symptoms:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Heel and ankle pain<\/li>\n<li>Tenderness in the back of the leg above the ankle<\/li>\n<li>Discomfort the day after exercising<\/li>\n<li>Pain while walking uphill or climbing stairs<\/li>\n<li>Pain in the morning that improves as the day goes on<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Treatment:<\/em>\u00a0It is important to treat Achille\u2019s tendonitis so that it does not progress into a more complicated condition such as Achille\u2019s tendinosis or an Achille\u2019s tendon rupture.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to start by modifying your activity level or the types of activities. Achille\u2019s tendonitis, like other forms of tendonitis, are usually brought on through overuse or repetitive stresses to the tissues.<\/p>\n<p>In some instances, you may need to wear a splint at night to keep the tendon stretched. It is recommended as well as invest in supportive shoes, heel lifts or orthotics to take stresses of the tendon.<\/p>\n<p>It is also important to work on stretching the calf muscles as a tight muscle will increase stresses on the tendon. You will also want to begin a progressive strengthen or \u201ctissue loading\u201d program. This will help your body adapt to high demands on the muscles and tendons.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Basketball Knee Injuries<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>Causes:<\/em>\u00a0Repetitive motions, such as running and jumping, can make basketball players more susceptible to stress-related or overuse knee injuries. In addition, quick changes in movements coupled with the hard-court surface make players susceptible to falls.<\/p>\n<p><em>Symptoms:<\/em>\u00a0Basketball players are vulnerable to several types of knee injuries. Symptoms will vary based on your specific condition.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Patellar Tendonitis aka \u201cJumper\u2019s Knee\u201d: Pain from the front of the kneecap moving downward towards the shin.<\/li>\n<li>Knee Sprain:\n<ol>\n<li>ACL: Many patients report hearing a \u201cpop\u201d or feel their knee \u201cgive out\u201d. Pain follows thereafter.<\/li>\n<li>PCL: Although less common, patients hear a similar \u201cpopping\u201d noise, which is then accompanied by pain, swelling and knee instability in the back of the knee.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>\u2022Meniscal Tears: Knee pain, swelling and inability to straighten your leg.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Treatment:<\/em>\u00a0Like the causes and the symptoms, treatment will vary depending on the injury. Moderate forms of treatment are similar to ankle sprains. In these instances, athletes are encouraged to use the modernized ARITA method with any acute knee injury.<\/p>\n<p>The injured party may also want to wear a compression sleeve or knee brace for added protection. Once knee pain has subsided, strengthening exercises are recommended for the quadriceps, hips and overall body conditioning.<\/p>\n<p>In cases like an ACL, PCL or even meniscal tear, surgery may be necessary. Your physician will help you determine whether surgery is needed depending on the severity of the injury.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Deep Thigh Bruising in Basketball<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>Causes:<\/em>\u00a0 A deep thigh bruise\/contusion occurs because of contact between an elbow, knee or other form of impact on the thigh.<\/p>\n<p><em>Symptoms:<\/em>\u00a0Discoloration, tenderness\/pain where the bruise is and in the surrounding soft tissues. Depending on the severity, the athlete may also experience difficulty walking.<\/p>\n<p><em>Treatment:<\/em>\u00a0It is important to use the RICE method for a deep thigh contusion. When icing the injury, athletes are encouraged to either sit up or lay down with their afflicted leg bent at the knee and the heel as close to the buttock as possible.\u00a0 Once in this position, ice the area for 15-20 minutes. Repeat every hour.<\/p>\n<p>Once the afflicted leg becomes easier to move, it is important to exercise to remove the fluid from the leg. An exercise bike is a low-impact way to begin movement before working up to bodyweight exercises, such as squats, step ups, lunges, etc.<\/p>\n<h3>Basketball Finger Injuries<\/h3>\n<p><em>Causes:<\/em>\u00a0One common finger injury is a \u201cjammed finger.\u201d A player may experience a jammed finger when the ball meets the top of the finger suddenly. When this happens, the finger becomes stuck in one of its joints.<\/p>\n<p><em>Symptoms:<\/em>\u00a0Pain and swelling in the afflicted finger.<\/p>\n<p><em>Treatment:<\/em>\u00a0Typically, ice and tape are used on a jammed finger. It is common to tape the hurt finger with a neighboring one to protect it while it heals. Ice is also used to manage excessive swelling. It is also recommended to take time throughout the day to work range of motion exercises to maintain your mobility while you heal.<\/p>\n<h2>Athletic Training and Physical Therapy for Basketball Players<\/h2>\n<p>Injuries happen, but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to take yourself out of the game for long. Working with an athletic trainer or a physical therapist can help you recover faster. It can also help you build strength, flexibility and mobility post-injury.
