Westood, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/07/2017 -- One of the main reasons seasoned athletes work out before the spring season begins is to avoid serious injuries. As the weather warms up here in the Northeast, it's a lesson that shouldn't get lost on anyone planning to engage in outdoor sports or activities.
Fortunately, athletes and others who lead active lives in this area can rely on Dr. Robert A. Kayal and the elite team of doctors at Kayal Orthopaedic Center, who are experts in sports medicine in Glen Rock, NJ, the rest of Bergen County and beyond.
Dr. Kayal and his team have seen all too frequently what can happen when someone jumps into a sport or outdoor activity too quickly. That's why they caution their patients to know their limitations and take it slowly, especially when beginning a new training routine or activity.
Common sports injuries include: repetitive motion injuries, sprains and strains, meniscus and ligament tears, runner's knee, golfer's elbow, tennis elbow, tendon tears and rotator cuff tears.
Although it may be too late for pre-season conditioning for the spring sports season, it's never too late to take these steps to avoid injuries: stretch, warm up, stay hydrated, use proper form and technique, wear proper shoes and safety equipment, build muscle strength and use gentle, sustained stretches to cool down.
It's not always possible to avoid injuries, no matter how careful an athlete is. Kayal Orthopaedic Center's sports medicine specialists have seen it all and treated it all. They can diagnose, treat and help prevent the sports-related injuries that can force active individuals to the sidelines. And, best of all, they have the knowledge, skills and experience to help athletes return to the activities they love as quickly as possible.
