Common diseases caused by excessive use of the arm include bursitis and tendonitis. Often referred to as tennis elbow, external epicondylitis is a common source of pain for leyball players. This can be caused by the wear of the tendon of the current arm. Whenever you hit the ball, when you have tennis elbow, stress can cause inflammation and pain. Wrist tendonitis is another common volleyball condition that occurs when the swelling of the wrist is inflamed. Bursitis usually attacks the elbows of volleyball players and may indicate that the swollen cysts become irritated and inflamed when you hit the ball.
Injury
Smashing can cause a variety of sudden injuries such as sprains or broken wrists or fingers, rotator cuff injuries and dislocated shoulders. Although the pain is not directly on your arm, it usually spreads out on your arm and continues to move until you get the source of the pain. F When the strength of the ball hits your hand with strange angles or excessive force, the medial and wrist sprains are common injuries in volleyball. Dislocation of the shoulder joint is particularly common and usually occurs when bending backwards or upwards too far to hit the ball. The pain in the dislocated shoulder has been plaguing your fingertips.
Treatment
If you have a dislocated shoulder while hitting the ball, you need to see a doctor immediately. You will be equipped with a sling to secure your arm and prescription anti-inflammatory drugs. The sprain is usually treated with rest, ice, compression and elevation. Sprained wrists and fingers can be wrapped to secure them, and you will be instructed to keep your arms raised as the sprain heals and apply ice LS as it expands. If you have developed a tennis elbow, your doctor may wrap your arm under the elbow and you willBe encouraged to rest your arms as much as possible. You may be given cortisone injection for elbow bursitis, or you may need to undergo an outpatient procedure so that the capsule can drain the fluid that causes the pain. Wrist tendonitis is also treated with rest and cortisone injections.
Prevention
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there were more than 58,000 volleyball injuries in the US emergency room in 2010. . Although the most common injuries to the fingers, elbows and shoulders, volleyball players also have excessive ankle injuries. One of the most important steps you can take is to stroke the ball when the arm pain is spent enough time before the game to stretch. Do a three-minute warm-up exercise, such as running or riding an elliptical trainer, to get your body ready, and then 10 minutes of slow control stretching to help you avoid overuse. Maintaining a healthy level during the off-season can reduce the risk of injury. Wear protective gear if necessary and make sure your space is safe and free of obstacles.
