What are the most common types of sports injuries treated in Singapore?

Common injuries include ligament tears (such as ACL or meniscus injuries), muscle strains, tendonitis, and stress fractures. These often occur due to sudden impacts, repetitive over-use, or improper training techniques.

When should I see a specialist for a sports injury?

You should seek a specialist consultation if you experience severe pain, swelling that does not subside with rest, an inability to bear weight on the affected limb, or if the joint feels unstable. Early diagnosis is key to preventing long-term joint issues.

What does a typical recovery plan for a sports injury involve?

Recovery is a collaborative process that typically starts with the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation). Depending on the severity, it may progress to custom physiotherapy, bracing, or minimally invasive surgery to restore full function and athletic performance.
