What are Common Causes of Soccer Injuries?
Soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world, and it involves a high level of athleticism. We commonly see soccer injuries in all ages as a result of:
- Musculoskeletal issues
- Muscle weakness
- Overuse
- Motor control issues, particularly at the knee
- Sharp stops
- Inward or outward traumatic force on the knee
- Forward sliding force on the knee
- Over-rotation of the knee
- Cartilage Damage
While these are common injury causes, many sports injuries are complex and involve multiple structures within the body. Depending on the demand of the player and the level of performance, it is common for muscle strains and joint sprains to be seen as a result of a deeper strength, flexibility, endurance, or motor control issue. Our sports medicine experts will perform a wide variety of tests to pinpoint the exact causes of weakness and target them specifically within the treatment plan so you can return to your sports with more fitness than ever.
