NORCROSS, GA, December 19, 2012 (Press-News.org) Atlanta orthopaedic surgeons group, OrthoAtlanta, encourages people to avoid football injuries through proper strength and flexibility training. Most football injuries occur in the knee or ankle, and Atlanta orthopaedic doctors at OrthoAtlanta encourage people to properly shield and stretch those important areas.
With the warm weather, Atlanta orthopaedic surgeons at OrthoAtlanta caution people to be careful while out playing sports, even if it's just in their own backyard. There is an increase in the number of sports related injuries during the summer months, because more people are active.
"Most injuries can be prevented with proper stretching, before and after the people play," said Dr. Michael Behr, Atlanta orthopaedic surgeon with OrthoAtlanta. "With the proper stretching, as well as good hydration throughout the activity, many tears and injuries can be avoided."
Most football injuries occur due to improper warm-up stretching and cool down exercises. This one of the top reasons Atlanta orthopaedic surgeons at OrthoAtlanta treat athletes and individuals. Five to ten minutes spent warming up the body and cooling it down properly can mean the difference between a fun weekend or a torn ACL. Atlanta orthopaedic surgeons with OrthoAtlanta also remind players to wear properly fitting protective gear, to help prevent against more serious injury.
While injuries can be prevented, a few cannot be avoided. OrthoAtlanta is equipped to handle all sports related injuries and have the know-how to get an athlete back on his feet. One of the top Atlanta orthopaedic surgical groups, OrthoAtlanta offers Atlanta-based athletes and weekend warriors a solid and committed staff to treat their sports injuries.
