Upper Limb Sports Injuries

Whether you enjoy sports as part of your life or you live for sport, the body's response to exercise, particularly sustained, high impact exercise, has the potential to harm as well as help your health and well-being. Indeed, many of the injuries described in this website may result from sporting activity.

Common conditions include injuries to tendons, nerves and bones in the upper limbs. For example, nerve disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome, cumulative trauma disorders such as tendonitis, acute injuries such as fractures, dislocations and lacerations are frequently seen. The Shoulder Unit is the focus for a wide range of expert, supportive and integrated specialist units with treatments to help ensure that your relationship with your chosen sports activity is as healthy and sustainable as possible.

The Unit provides a fast response to minimise damage from traumatic injury, or timely diagnosis and design of a personal rehabilitation programme to avoid future sports injuries and musculo-skeletal problems.
