Throwing Injuries

Throwing injuries commonly affect the shoulder and elbow due to repetitive overhead motions in sports like baseball, cricket, and tennis. These injuries include rotator cuff tears, labral tears, and Little League elbow (medial epicondylitis). Overuse leads to inflammation, weakness, and pain, particularly when throwing. Symptoms include stiffness, pain during arm movement, and loss of throwing strength. Treatment involves rest, ice, strengthening exercises, and sometimes surgery for severe cases.
