Get Back in the Game with Expert Sports Injury Treatment in Fremont, NE
Sports injuries can really set you back from your favorite activities and competitions. The high-speed, high-impact nature of most sports means trauma to muscles, tissues, and joints can be severe. Common ailments include ligament sprains, muscle strains, fractures, and overuse injuries that build up over time.
At Nebraska Orthopaedic Physical Therapy, our Fremont physical therapists – including two former Husker football players – specialize in sports injury rehabilitation designed for athletes of all ages and abilities. We’ll evaluate your injury, tailor your treatment to your specific sport, style of play, and position, and guide you every step of the way toward full recovery. We can help you recover safely, restore strength, and return to your sport pain-free.
Understanding Sports Injuries
Athletic injuries are common during any season and generally fall into two categories: traumatic and overuse damage.
Traumatic injuries are caused by a specific incident, such as:
- Sprains (ACL, MCL, LCL, MPFL, AC sprains, etc.)
- Patellar Subluxation (Dislocation)
- Strains or pulled muscles
- Labral impairments
- Fractures
- Concussions (from collisions, falls, or heading a soccer ball)
Overuse injuries develop over time from repetitive stress or poor technique, such as:
- Tendinitis (shin splints, jumper’s knee)
Throwing or repetitive motion damage (golfer’s elbow, tennis elbow) - Stress fractures
