Sports Injury Treatment & Rehabilitation

An active lifestyle is essential for your health, but engaging in sports and training can sometimes lead to injuries that impact muscles, tendons, or ligaments. These sports injuries may occur suddenly or develop gradually over time, limiting performance and recovery.

Common Causes of Sports Injuries

- Sudden impact or twisting

- Overtraining or repetitive strain

- Poor movement control

- Lack of warm-up or conditioning

- Returning to sport too quickly after injury

When to Seek Help

Consider seeking professional assessment if you experience:

- Localised pain or swelling

- Reduced strength or flexibility

- Difficulty weight-bearing or moving normally

- Recurring injuries that affect your training or sport

You should seek urgent medical attention for severe swelling or fever, suspected fractures, or sudden inability to move or bear weight.

How We Assess Sports Injuries

At Tenby Health, your initial consultation will include:

- Case history – We’ll explore how the injury occurred and your specific sporting demands.

- Medical, drug and surgical history – This helps us assess your overall health and any previous injuries.

- Physical examination – We’ll evaluate your movement, joint function, muscle strength, and stability, along with necessary orthopaedic and neurological testing.

- Diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound (optional) – This imaging technique allows us to view soft tissues, such as tendons, ligaments, and muscles, making it highly effective for diagnosing and staging various sports injuries. Ultrasound often proves more beneficial than MRI, and we will recommend it only if it adds significant value to your care.

- Diagnostic ultrasound scanning – If required, we provide a full scan and written report from a qualified MSK sonographer to ensure accurate diagnosis and tailored management.

- Clear referral pathway – If necessary, we can write to your GP regarding imaging, testing, or specialist referrals. Should other imaging types be required, we have trusted private options for X-ray or MRI.
