Regular physical activity can provide many benefits. In addition to enhancing your physical fitness, helping you maintain your weight, and increasing your bone and muscle strength, an active lifestyle can boost your mental awareness and overall mood. What’s more, by accelerating the delivery of essential oxygen and nutrients to tissues throughout your body, exercise can help your cardiovascular system work more efficiently and reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke. And with improved heart and lung function, you will feel more energized and better able to tackle your daily tasks.

Of course, all types of physical activity—including sports—carry a risk of injury. But the benefits generally outweigh the risks. And if you do sustain a non-life-threatening sports injury, you can receive acute care at Louisville Orthopaedic Clinic near Jeffersonville, Indiana.

We Diagnose & Treat Many Sports-Related Injuries

Acute sports injuries happen suddenly, such as after a fall, a direct blow, a collision with another player, or a quick change of direction. Your risk of injury will increase if you use worn-out or inappropriate equipment, if you don’t warm up properly, or if you intensify your workouts too quickly. The hallmark signs of an acute sports injury are constant pain, swelling, and significant loss of function.

The board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons at Louisville Orthopaedic Clinic are experienced subspecialists who focus on treating a specific area of the body, such as the shoulder, spine, hand, hip, knee, or foot. We provide acute care for many common sports injuries, including:

Strained muscles
Contusions
Sprained and torn ligaments
Broken bones
Dislocated joints
