Football season is here, and injuries on the field are more common than you might think. 🏈
Dr. Morales treats three main types of injuries every season: shoulder instability, ligament ruptures of the thumb, and various hand fractures.
Early signs like swelling, pain, and instability shouldn’t be ignored. Catching them early can prevent long-term complications and speed up recovery.
Stay safe this season, and don’t wait to get checked if something feels off
