ACL TEAR
An anterior cruciate ligament injury is when the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is either stretched, partially torn, or completely torn. The most common injury is a complete tear. Symptoms include pain, a popping sound during injury, instability of the knee, and joint swelling. Immediate treatment focuses on reducing swelling and pain, followed by a personalized rehabilitation program to restore strength and stability.
RUNNER’S KNEE
Runner's knee is the common term used to describe any one of several conditions that cause pain around the kneecap, also known as the patella. These conditions include anterior knee pain syndrome, patellofemoral malalignment, chondromalacia patella, and iliotibial band syndrome. Treatment often involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), along with specific exercises to strengthen the knee and improve flexibility.
SHOULDER INJURIES
Shoulder injuries are frequently caused by athletic activities that involve excessive, repetitive, overhead motion, such as swimming, tennis, pitching, and weightlifting.

SHIN SPLINTS
Shin splints are defined as "pain along the inner edge of the shinbone (tibia)." Shin splints are usually caused by repeated trauma to the connective muscle tissue surrounding the tibia. Treatment includes rest, ice, and exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles around the shinbone.
CONCUSSION
