Affects

Thinking of starting a new physical activity program or ramping up your current training routine? If so, you may be at risk of an overuse injury — which could ultimately prevent you from being active. Find out what can cause an overuse injury and how to safely increase your activity level by visiting our office.

Although an overuse injury can happen to anyone, you may be more prone to this type of injury if you have certain medical conditions. Overuse injuries are also more likely to occur as you get older — especially if you don't recognize the impact aging can have on your body and modify your routine accordingly.

The following are signs and symptoms of overuse injuries:

  • Gradual onset of pain
  • Pain presenting as an ache
  • No history of direct injury
  • Stiffness or aching after or during training or competition
  • Increasing periods of time for pain to go away
  • Point tenderness
  • Visible swelling
