The goal of treatment of sports injuries must be restoration of function to the greatest possible degree in the shortest possible time. Initially this will require first aid treatment to decrease swelling, congestion and muscle spasm but it is equally important to minimise deconditioning of the rest of the body.
This article summarises the approach to minimising the effects of an acute injury in an athlete and maximising the chances for a full return to sport without incurring further injuries.
A good knowledge of anatomy is needed to make a specific diagnosis so a comprehensive treatment plan can be implemented. Treatment involves several options: immobilisation, NSAIDs, physiotherapy, surgery and rehabilitation. Rehabilitation, which should not wait until after the injury has healed, encompasses strength, flexibility, proprioception, endurance, motor relearning, aerobic fitness and sometimes counselling.
运动损伤的治疗目标必须是在尽可能短的时间内最大程度地恢复功能。最初这需要急救治疗以减轻肿胀、充血和肌肉痉挛，但尽量减少身体其他部位的机能减退同样重要。
本文总结了将运动员急性损伤的影响降至最低并最大程度提高完全恢复运动且不遭受进一步损伤几率的方法。
需要具备良好的解剖学知识才能做出具体诊断，从而实施全面的治疗计划。治疗包括多种选择：固定、非甾体抗炎药、物理治疗、手术和康复。康复不应等到损伤愈合后才开始，它包括力量、柔韧性、本体感觉、耐力、运动再学习、有氧适能，有时还包括心理咨询。
