Sports injuries are often defined as injuries that are incurred during the participation of a sporting activity or event. Although some sports injuries can be instantaneous, like a sudden break, most sports injuries are caused by the long-term overuse of a certain part of the body. For example, tennis and golfers elbow as well as runners knee are all sport injuries associated with their given activity, respectively tennis, golfing and running. This can also be considered a repetitive sprain injury or RSI. Other types of sports injuries can be caused by a hard contact with something such as a broken bone, torn ligament or tendon
Many sport injuries occur in professional sports, but can happen among people who participate in recreational activities on a habitual yet casual basis.

What causes sport injury?
Sports injuries can be classified as either traumatic or overuse injuries. Most traumatic injuries can occur in high impact sports like soccer, hockey and football. These injuries can range from bruises and muscle strains, to fractures, head injuries and bone breaks. Overuse injuries are caused by repetitive motions and can be found in activities like volleyball, tennis, golf, jogging, gymnastics or other supposed lower impact sports.

Will Painwave X4000 Help with Sports Injury?
Yes! The Painwave X4000 is a non-invasive, drug-free pain management system that can speed healing and help with the pain associated with sports injuries. Unlike other methods of pain relief, the Painwave X4000 does not ‘block’ pain signals to the brain, instead it works in concert with the body’s own bioelectromagnetic ecosystem. This is one of the reasons why the Painwave X4000 has no side effects. To use the device, simply move it over the surface of the skin in a small circular motion. In time, the Painwave X4000 will improve circulation, cell activity and lymphatic movements. This can be especially beneficial in the relief of pain and other discomforts. In many cases, this stimulation will greatly reduce or eliminate pain for good.
