Focused Treatment for Every Sports Injury
Every sports injury is unique. Factors such as age, fitness level, training history and the nature of the sport all influence how an injury develops and heals. At Burjeel Hospital, Asharej, we take time to understand the full picture.
From your first visit, you’ll receive a detailed evaluation that may include a physical examination, imaging studies (X-ray, MRI, ultrasound) and functional assessments. Our specialists then create a tailored treatment plan that considers your goals, whether it’s returning to competitive play, resuming daily workouts or simply moving pain-free again.
We emphasize early diagnosis and prompt intervention because research shows that timely treatment can significantly shorten recovery times and reduce the risk of long-term complications. Our aim is to get you back in action quickly while protecting your long-term joint and muscle health.
Common Sports Injuries and Our Treatments
We treat a wide spectrum of sports-related conditions, from acute injuries sustained during play to chronic overuse issues. Some of the most common injuries we manage include:
Knee Injuries (ACL, Meniscus, MCL)
The knee is particularly vulnerable to sports injuries. Our team offers expert care for ligament tears, such as ACL (anterior cruciate ligament), meniscus and medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries. Depending on the severity, treatment may involve physiotherapy, minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery or full reconstruction, followed by a progressive rehabilitation program.
Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains occur when the ligaments supporting the joint are stretched or torn, often during running, jumping or sudden changes in direction. We provide quick diagnosis and evidence-based treatment plans, including bracing, physiotherapy and proprioceptive training to restore strength and stability.
Shoulder & Rotator Cuff Injuries
Overhead sports like swimming, tennis and volleyball put significant stress on the shoulder. We deliver targeted therapy and, when needed, minimally invasive procedures to repair rotator cuff tears, stabilize dislocations and restore pain-free motion.
Tennis Elbow & Golfer’s Elbow
Repetitive strain can inflame the tendons around the elbow. We offer customized rehabilitation, bracing, ergonomic advice and regenerative injections to speed healing.
Hip & Groin Injuries
Hip flexor strains, labral tears and groin pulls are common in running, soccer and dancing. We diagnose these conditions with advanced imaging and provide targeted rehabilitation to restore movement and stability.
Back Pain & Spinal Stress
Repetitive training can lead to lumbar strain, disc problems or stress fractures. We offer conservative treatments, spinal injections and physiotherapy focused on core strength and posture correction.
Foot & Heel Injuries
Plantar fasciitis, stress fractures of the foot and Achilles tendon injuries can sideline athletes for weeks. Our foot and ankle specialists provide evidence-based treatments, orthotics and sport-specific rehabilitation.
Other Conditions
We also manage shin splints, muscle tears, bursitis, cartilage injuries and overtraining syndrome. Whatever the issue, our sports injury specialists combine clinical expertise with empathy to support you at every step.
Personalized Sports Injury Treatment Options
No two injuries heal the same way. That’s why we offer a full spectrum of treatment options tailored to your needs:
Advanced Diagnostics (MRI, X-Ray, Ultrasound)
Our state-of-the-art imaging services provide accurate and timely insights into the extent of your injury. High-resolution MRI, dynamic ultrasound and digital X-rays help us pinpoint problems quickly, ensuring you receive the most appropriate care from day one.
Non-Surgical Treatments
Whenever possible, we prioritize conservative management. This may include medications to reduce pain and inflammation, joint or tendon injections (such as corticosteroid or platelet-rich plasma/PRP), bracing or taping and personalized physiotherapy programs aimed at restoring mobility and function without surgery.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
If surgery is required, our orthopedic and sports medicine surgeons specialize in advanced techniques such as arthroscopy. Minimally invasive procedures mean smaller incisions, less pain, reduced scarring and faster return to activity compared to traditional surgery.
Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is a cornerstone of our care. We design customized programs that progress from gentle mobility exercises to strength training and sport-specific drills. Our physiotherapists also teach preventive strategies to help you avoid re-injury once you return to your sport.

Immediate Care and Prevention of Sports Injuries
Prevention is as important as treatment. We provide practical advice to reduce the impact of injuries and prevent future setbacks.
First Aid for Sports Injuries (R.I.C.E. Method)
At Burjeel Royal Hospital, Asharej, we emphasize the importance of prompt and proper first aid to minimize injury severity and speed up recovery. Our experts educate athletes, coaches, and patients on the R.I.C.E. method, which includes:
- Rest: Stop activity immediately to prevent further damage.
- Ice: Apply ice packs for 15–20 minutes to reduce pain and swelling.
- Compression: Use an elastic bandage to control inflammation and support the injured area.
- Elevation: Raise the injured limb above heart level to decrease swelling.
Early intervention in the first 24–48 hours greatly enhances healing.
Best Practices to Prevent Sports Injuries
Our sports medicine experts emphasize prevention to keep athletes active and injury-free. Follow these key practices:
- Warm up and cool down before and after workouts.
- Maintain proper posture and technique.
- Gradually increase training intensity.
- Use suitable footwear and protective gear.
- Allow sufficient rest between sessions.
- Include flexibility and cross-training routines.
- Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet.
