Fall brings crisp air, colorful foliage, and a renewed sense of energy. It’s a time for pumpkin patches, yard work, and enjoying the outdoors. But with increased activity comes the potential for injuries.

Common Fall Injuries and How We Can Help

Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics specializes in treating a variety of musculoskeletal issues, including those commonly experienced during autumn activities:

• Strains: Lifting heavy pumpkins, raking leaves, or engaging in yard work can lead to muscle strains. These occur when microscopic tears develop in muscles or tendons. Signs of a strain include pain, tenderness, weakness, and swelling.
• Sprains: Sprains happen when ligaments, the connective tissues connecting bones, are stretched or torn. Gardening mishaps or falls while enjoying the outdoors can cause sprains, often accompanied by pain, swelling, redness, and bruising.
• Stress Fractures: Running or walking more with the cooler weather can lead to stress fractures. These occur when repetitive stress on bones causes tiny cracks. Pain that worsens with activity and improves with rest could be a sign.
