Recovery from sports injuries varies depending on the type and severity of the injury. Minor injuries may heal within a few weeks with rest and rehabilitation, while more severe injuries may require months of treatment.

Treatment Aftercare:

Adhere to a structured rehabilitation program: Rehabilitation exercises help restore function and prevent future injuries by improving strength, flexibility, and neuromuscular control.
