People in San Diego are active - really active. Venture outside on any given day of the week, and you’ll see joggers, bikers, surfers, skateboarders, people walking their dogs, moms pushing strollers the list goes on. This makes sense, considering that San Diego is ranked as one of America’s sunniest and healthiest cities. But along with being physically active comes the risk of injury. Depending on the types of activities you like to do, you may be more prone to certain injuries. However, are there a handful of common sports-related injuries that our team at Best Bone Clinic treats on a consistent basis? Ankle sprains are an extremely common injury, and can occur during activities ranging from basketball and football to simply walking down the street. When ankle sprains occur during sports or another physically taxing activity, the severity can be heightened due to increased levels of speed and force. A dislocated shoulder occurs when your upper arm bone pops out of the shoulder socket. It’s a fairly common sports injury that is often caused by a hard fall, tackle, or another type of collision. While this type of injury normally occurs in high-contact sports like football, hockey, and rugby, dislocated shoulders can also plague cyclists, surfers, yoga participants, weight lifters, etc.
