Title: Football/Soccer Injuries

Football/Soccer Injuries

Football/Soccer injuries are a common part of the game. Most are sudden onset (acute), although overuse
injuries also occur. Here we outline the most common Football injuries and how to treat and prevent
them.

Acute football/soccer injuries

Acute soccer injuries occur suddenly and include sprains, strains and fractures. Torn ligaments and
broken bones are usually caused by contact with other players. Muscle and tendon strains are more often
sprint or kicking-related.

Hamstring strain

Hamstring strain commonly known as a pulled hamstring is sudden sharp pain at the back of the thigh.
Treatment for this injury involves immediate first aid of rest, ice, and compression followed by a full
rehabilitation and exercise program. Symptoms of a hamstring strain include pains whilst sprinting or a
fast stretching movement or a high kick. Read more on the treatment of hamstring strains.

Sprained ankle

A sprained ankle is one of the most common sports injuries and is also the most frequently re-injured. In
the majority of cases, the ankle rolls inwards (inversion) under the weight of the rest of the body,
resulting in damage to the ligaments on the outside of the ankle. Pain is usually felt around the ankle joint
itself although more specifically on the outside of the ankle where the damaged ligaments are located.

Read more on how to treat a sprained ankle.

Achilles tendonitis

Achilles tendonitis  (also known as Achilles tendinopathy or Achilles tendinosis) is an overuse injury

causing pain, inflammation and or degeneration of the Achilles tendon at the back of the ankle. If this
type of injury is not caught early this can be difficult to cure but with the right treatment and particularly
eccentric strengthening exercises, a full recovery can usually be achieved. Read more on the treatment
and rehabilitation of Achilles tendonitis.
Medial knee ligament sprain

Medial ligament sprain or MCL injury is a tear of the ligament on the inside of the knee, it is usually a
result of direct impact or twisting motion. A medial ligament injury is common in contact sports such as
football and rugby, as well as martial arts. They can also occur in daily life through falls and twists of the
knee joint. Read more on the treatment and rehabilitation of medial ligament sprain.

Chronic soccer injuries

Chronic injuries occur over time and are usually related to overuse. In particular, young footballers often
suffer from overuse injuries.

Jumper’s knee

Jumper’s knee or patellar tendonitis is an overuse injury that results in pain at the front of the knee,
localised at a point towards the bottom of the kneecap. Repetitive strain from too much running or
jumping causes inflammation or degeneration of the patella tendon. Patellar tendonitis can be a tricky
condition to treat and requires a substantial period of rest and a thorough treatment and rehabilitation
program. Read more on the causes and treatment of Jumper’s knee.

Shin splints

Pain at the front of the lower leg is commonly referred to as shin splints. Usually, symptoms occur at the
front inside of the shin bone but can arise from a number of causes. We explain the symptoms, treatment,
and rehabilitation of medial tibial stress syndrome to cure and prevent it from recurring. Read more
on how to prevent and treat shin splints.

Metatarsal stress fractures

A metatarsal stress fracture is a fine fracture in one of the long metatarsal bones in the foot. A stress
fracture can occur through overuse or poor foot biomechanics. Symptoms include pain in the foot which
occurs gradually. The pain will be located towards the middle or front of the foot and is made worse by
weight-bearing activities such as walking, running or dancing. Read more on metatarsal stress fractures.

Immediate first aid for acute football/soccer injuries

The PRICE principles are the gold standard set for treating acute sports injuries. The acronym stands for
Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation and should be applied as early as possible and continued
for at least the first 24-72 hours.

Read more on PRICE principles.

Should I seek professional treatment for my soccer injury?

If you have any of the following symptoms you should seek further medical assistance.

Severe pain, especially on walking

Severe swelling (oedema)

Altered sensation in the foot – such as a feeling of “pins and needles” (paresthesia) or a “loss of feeling”
(anaesthesia).

Unable to complete normal daily activities after the initial 72 hours.

Further medical assistance can be sought through either your local GP or a private clinician such as a
podiatrist, physiotherapist, sports therapist, osteopath or chiropractor. If you have followed the P.R.I.C.E.
principles (see below) and are still unable to walk after 72 hours or still have severe pain that is not
subsiding after the first 72 hours you should visit your local A&E department for further assessment.

Secondly, if you have applied for P.R.I.C.E. principles and still have weakness that lasts a long time
(more than 2 weeks) or have ongoing discomfort in your foot or heel, you are highly recommended to
seek advice from a specialist expert – such as a podiatrist or physiotherapist, osteopath, or chiropractor –
who can provide you with advice and an appropriate and effective recovery and rehabilitation program.

Whilst playing soccer or on a pub crawl, There is only one possible notion,
The best thing to do is come to Pivotal Motion!

 REFLEXIÓN 1
The article entitled “Football/Soccer Injuries” Mike Walden (2023) is an complex piece. Gives
the topic a vision from a medical point of view. Prior to doing my investigation I had the idea
that injuries in football were simple lesions that can be cured without any help. Analyze these
article give me a new vision of the topic

The poem entitled “An ankle sprain is such a pain” by Lidia Bartram(2023) is an interesting
poem. It shows in a poetical way how hurting it can be to have a ankle sprain and how it can be
cured. Prior to read this poem I had the thinking that a ankle sprain was simple injurie and that it
was not really hurting

The video entitled “Most injuries in football” Sutherland(2021) shows important facts about
various injuries and how they can be prevented. Previous to have seen this video, I didn’t think
that injuries in could be prevented so easer
