How Do Sports Injuries Happen?

Sports and exercise are great ways to keep healthy, but there are often risks involved. Most often, excessive training, inappropriate training methods, improper form, bad practices, pushing yourself to the limits or perilous exercise equipment can be a cause of injury, but structural abnormalities and muscle imbalances/weakness can also be culprits leading to injury, including the ankles, knees, elbows, shoulder or spine.

A lot of times is alignment of your joints or spine will strain your natural movements and muscles. One such injury is a torn Anterior Crucial Ligament which results from a quick deceleration, hyper-extension or rotation of the knee joint that may or may not involve contact with another person.
