SPORT MEDICINE
The specialty of sports medicine focuses on providing diagnoses and treatments to help athletes, both amateur and professional, return to their activity safely and avoid future injuries.
At icatpie, we treat each case individually to achieve an accurate diagnosis and the most effective treatment possible, all with the goal of allowing our patients to resume their sports practice as quickly as possible and prevent the recurrence of new conditions.
Icatpie is the foot and ankle unit of ICATME (Institut Català de Traumatologia i Medicina de l’Esport), international experts in musculoskeletal ultrasound diagnosis.
A sprain is an injury to one or more ligaments caused by a forced movement of the ankle (inversion or eversion) that exceeds the mechanical resistance of these ligaments.
Chronic ankle instability is a condition caused by a ligament injury.
Tendinopathies occur when a tendon undergoes overload, leading to an inflammatory process from which it cannot recover. Two types of factors are involved: mechanical (overuse) and biological (lack of repair).
