At Interventional Spine Care and Orthopedic Regenerative Experts (iSCORE), we understand that being active is essential to a healthy life. But whether you're running, playing basketball, or hitting the volleyball court, the risk of injury is always present. Knowing how to prevent and treat common sports injuries can help you recover faster and get back to doing what you love.

Let’s take a look at the most common sport-related injuries in running, basketball, and volleyball — and how iSCORE can help you recover safely and effectively.

Running: Shin Splints

Shin Splints are a common injury among runners, especially those who run on hard surfaces or with improper footwear. This painful condition involves the muscles and tissues around the shinbone becoming inflamed due to overuse.

Treatment Tip: Proper running form, rest, and strengthening exercises can help alleviate symptoms and prevent future issues. Our team at iSCORE specializes in evaluating your biomechanics and creating personalized recovery plans to help you recover faster.

Volleyball: Ankle Sprains and Knee Injuries

Ankle Sprains: One wrong landing after a jump can lead to an ankle sprain. The pain can range from mild to severe, causing swelling, bruising, and instability.

Knee Injuries (Patellar Tendonitis): Known as "jumper’s knee," this condition is caused by repetitive jumping, leading to inflammation in the tendon connecting your kneecap to your shinbone.

Treatment Tip: At iSCORE, we offer advanced sports medicine care, including physical therapy, regenerative treatments, and rehabilitation to get you back on the court as quickly and safely as possible.

Basketball: ACL Tears

ACL Tears are one of the most common injuries in basketball due to quick pivots, sudden stops, and intense direction changes. An ACL tear can cause immediate pain, swelling, and a sensation of instability in the knee.

Treatment Tip: If you’ve suffered an ACL injury, our team at iSCORE offers comprehensive rehabilitation programs and interventional treatments to avoid surgery, or help optimize recovery post-surgery.
