  • 65% of pain medication users experienced pain recurrence, while 73% of PT users agreed PT led to long-term injury resolution.
  • Data from a survey of 200 individuals showed that sports injuries were primarily strains and sprains.
  • The study indicates that treatment preference leans towards physical therapy for sustained recovery among injured athletes.
