Sports injuries and work place injuries are both results of unusual strains placed on the body. While sports injury is often a sudden event, workplace injury is often a result of small unnoticed injuries happening repeatedly ( Repetitive micro-trauma). Our body is designed for only natural postures and movements like standing, walking, running ( at a even pace, within limits), and lying down. Sports involves movements that are beyond our physiologic limits and modern work place often involves postures that are not physiologic.

Even at the risk of injury, Work and Sports and two things that can’t be avoided. They provide the means and meaning for our lives.

At Arthroscopy Centre, the focus is on prevention. In addition to individual counselling to patients to avoid injuries, we also conduct regular educative sessions to avoid such injuries.

If, unfortunately, injury does occur, the goal in early intervention to avoid further damage. Any acute injury will require early examination, diagnosis and treatment. Work place related injuries are often treated by activity and posture modification; and exercises to strengthen the specific group of muscles that are strained.

Evaluation and Treatment of Workplace Related Injuries

• Every job has risks to health and the risks to unique to each job. At Arthroscopy centre, we perform a detailed evaluation of the ergonomics of the job and suggest corrective measures.
• Pain is often the first indication of work place related injuries. Early identification and treatment is essential to avoid structural damages which might need surgery.

Evaluation and Treatment of Sports Injuries

• Management of sports injuries has been main drive behind the evolution and development of Arthroscopy. This minimally invasive, but excellently visualising technique has afforded the possibility of early identification and management of injuries, and also a quick return to sport.
• At arthroscopy centre, we evaluate each sports person, their level of sports competence, the expected career in sports, and the environment of sporting activities and suggest surgical and non surgical measures to alleviate pain and promote function
