Concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury typically caused by a bump or blow to the head.

Shoulder dislocation occurs primarily in the younger, active athletic population and can lead to recurring dislocations.

An ACL injury is an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee, which is located in the middle of the knee joint. An MCL injury: an injury to the medial collateral ligament of the knee, a structure that runs along the medial side of the knee.

In most cases, sports injuries are treated with the RICE protocol (rest, ice, compression and elevation), anti-inflammatories, bracing and physiotherapy. For some injuries, heat therapy is recommended.

Following a sports injury, you may also work with a nutritionist to ensure you’re fuelling your body right; a sports psychologist and/or a kinesiologist.
