Repetitive microtrauma causes overuse injuries in athletes. This study presents a five-step treatment approach for these common sports-related disorders, illustrated with a runner

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Injury Management

Background:

  • Overuse injuries are prevalent in sports, stemming from cumulative, repetitive microtrauma.
  • These injuries represent a significant portion of sports-related medical conditions.
  • Effective management strategies are crucial for athlete recovery and performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline a structured, five-step approach for the clinical management of overuse injuries.
  • To demonstrate the application of this treatment protocol using a specific patient case.
  • To provide a framework for diagnosing and treating sports-related tissue damage.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a five-step treatment protocol: pathoanatomic diagnosis, inflammation control, healing promotion, fitness enhancement, and tissue abuse control.
