What is the difference between the treatment for muscle-related sports injuries and other muscle/joint pains?
There really isn’t a difference in the techniques, just in the duration of the problem. Many times a “sport injury” appears to build up quickly and then may suddenly be debilitating, such as with Achilles tendonitis or shinsplints. Other times there has been a chronic joint pain that hasn’t worsened over time, but never goes away – this is rarely termed “sport injury”. Both conditions result from the same muscle spasms or contractions, it is only the way they present themselves that makes the difference. The treatment is the same in both cases.
