An injury is defined as harm or damage to the body caused by an accident or an external force. Injuries can be minor, such as a small cut or bruise, or they can be more severe, such as a broken bone or a traumatic brain injury.
Common causes of injuries include falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, and workplace accidents. The severity of an injury can vary depending on the type and force of the impact, as well as the location of the injury on the body.
Symptoms of an injury can include pain, swelling, bruising, limited mobility or range of motion, and difficulty performing normal activities. Treatment for an injury will depend on the type and severity of the injury, but may include rest, ice, compression, and elevation (also known as the RICE method), physical therapy, medications, or surgery.
It is important to seek medical attention for any injury, especially if it is severe or if there are any signs of a concussion or other head injury. Prompt treatment can help minimize pain and prevent complications, and can help facilitate a faster recovery.
