Boxing is a contact sport, and contact sports can lead to impact injuries.
Researchers support that improving your boxing techniques results in less frequent boxing injuries. However, boxing injuries can occur to your various body parts.
Common Boxing Injuries
Head or Brain Injuries
The most concerning boxing injury is a head impact resulting in a potential brain injury. The punch impact shakes the brain within the skull and causes the brain to act abnormally for a brief period of time. This is known as concussion, which can result in the following symptoms:
- Unconsciousness
- Brief loss of short-term memory
- Nausea
- Loss of coordination
- Confusion
- Headache
Wearing head gear can reduce the impact stress and shock that could reverberate through your brain.
Jaw & Facial Injuries
Punching impact to your jaw can cause jaw, nose or facial fractures. Jaw injury resulting in TMJ dysfunction may result with either a fractured, subluxed or dislocated jaw a possibility.
Shoulder Injuries
Shoulder injuries can occur through repetition of impact. Common injuries include rotator cuff injuries or shoulder dislocation.
Hand and Wrist Injuries
Your hand and wrist are vulnerable to impact injuries. Milder injuries include soft tissue bruising or joint sprains.
Finger, thumb and hand fractures may also occur.
Ankle, Knee & Leg Injuries
Lower limb injuries can occur with overuse eg stress fractures, tendonitisor with trauma eg ankle or knee sprain.
Neck, Back & Rib Injuries
Boxing can injure your spine or ribs through impact or overstraining. An awesome set of core stability muscles will not only protect your spine from injury, but also improve your punching power and ability to absorb the impact of a punch.
Cuts & Bruises
Cuts and bruises are the most common boxing injuries. These injuries occur from contact with an opponent’s gloves or head.
