Injuries are some of the most common injuries that affect physically active and athletic people. Injuries cause pain, exclusion from everyday activities, and sometimes even mental blockages. Depending on the type of injury and the specificity of the body, convalescence in each case can last from a few days to even several months and longer. It is worth knowing what injuries we may encounter in order to be able to prevent them effectively. Find out what are the most common injuries and how to recover from them.
- Dislocation - this type of injury usually accompanies the ankle and knee joints. The ligaments are damaged first. The dislocation usually accompanies sportsmen and women, often insufficiently prepared and trained, often overweight. The injury is accompanied by a characteristic "crunch". Pain after dislocation usually occurs only on the second day after the accident.
- Bruising - caused by external injuries - usually a fall or an impact. It involves crushing the cells, tearing the fibers of the intercellular substance, damage to the vessels and nerves. Symptoms are usually pain and bruising. Packs and ointments are usually recommended for bruising.
- Twisting - this can occur in the ligament or in the bone ligament trailer. People practising sport are most at risk of twisting the ankle joint. The duration of treatment depends on the type of damage, usually lasts from 3 to 6 weeks. Twisting most often concerns the feet and occurs quite violently. Most often it occurs due to improper placement of the foot on the ground and falling on a curved foot. Symptoms of torsion include swelling, bruising, walking difficulties, reduced movement, pain. This type of injury most often concerns people working physically and amateurly and practicing sport professionally.
- Tension of ligaments - this injury is treated relatively quickly, therefore it should not cause further complications and require advanced rehabilitation. People practising sports (yoga, fitness, pilates) suffer from ligament stretching. Ligaments are structures that bond the bones and at the same time allow movement. However, they are flexible, but can be torn off if the overload is too high. A symptom of injury is haematoma, swelling, bruising, pain and difficulty in walking.
Reconvalescence of joints
In most cases, your doctor will first recommend joint immobilisation. They can be made with a professional stabilizer or special covers, in the most extreme cases gypsum is used. In addition, it is important to relieve pain and visible bruising or haematomas. For this purpose, cold or warm compresses, which properly stimulate the circulation in the damaged joint, will work well. During convalescence, an appropriate diet is also recommended, enriched with vitamin C, B vitamins, iron and zinc, as well as support yourself with appropriate dietary supplements. Litozin® dietary supplement is a unique dietary supplement developed especially for physically active people (regardless of intensity or frequency of exercise). Thanks to its vitamin C content, it supports proper collagen production in order to ensure proper functioning of cartilage and promotes regeneration of joint cartilage. A wild rose, on the other hand, helps to keep joints healthy and flexible for longer.
