Staying active is an incredibly important part of achieving overall body wellness, health and longevity, but many times athletes involved in various sports, training programs, competitions, etc. can cause overuse of muscles, tendons and joints which can lead to prolonged injuries and pain.

What are the best ways to prevent injury and overuse?

Ensuring that your body is properly warmed up and stretched out prior to working out or participating in a sport is critical to ensure your body is prepared for what your training entails. Utilizing proper technique and care during your activity is also essential in ensuring your body is receiving the proper training. After the activity, it is also important to stretch out all the muscles and tendons that your body just worked in order to allow them to properly recover. Many dedicated athletes may work their bodies too intensely too often, without enough rest in between, which can also lead to overuse and injuries. Rest is another integral part in ensuring your overall body’s wellness.

What happens when you get pain from overuse, an injury or another training-related ailment?

In addition to stretching and rest, sometimes our bodies need a little more support to recover from the injury or pain occurring depending on how serious it is or may become. Pennsylvania Pain and Spine helps treat prolonged pain and areas of overuse for many local athletes. With offerings such as various injections in the affected areas - there is normally a very low-risk treatment option that can be done quickly and will not prohibit any mobility, but rather help you feel “like new” again.

Athletes and active patients of any age, activity level, and injury/pain area are able to be consulted for pain treatment options. Pennsylvania Pain and Spine has even treated highly involved Crossfit competitors as well as Olympic Athletes.

The physicians at PA Pain and Spine work diligently to figure out your pain generator(s) to then treat the problem at the source in order to allow for optimal healing. Many patients are back in action after just one treatment, and others may find some relief after one and then continue with a series to fully heal the affected area.
