As all professional and amateur athletes know, a sports related injury is just a matter of “when” and not “if”. Of course it is always best to be prepared for these unfortunate times but preparation isn’t too difficult.
First you must have sports injury insurance which is available in Maine as with all other states. Second you must be familiar with the specifics of your insurance policy. Third you must have money put aside to cover any and all deductibles. And fourth, you should always reshop your sports injury insurance once a year to ensure you are getting the best rate for the policy you need.
Once your sports injury insurance is established, you can get back to training hard.

One frequent injury that catches many athletes by surprise is the ruptured Achilles Tendon. Often this injury occurs without any kind of contact or impact. However, the tendon due to force, does rupture and renders the ankle useless.
Although the surgery required is expensive most sports injury insurance or health insurance providers cover the costs according to the individual’s policy. However, for those without any type of coverage, the expense of surgery is too high or unaffordable. Obviously having insurance is a good thing.
One insurance that many people don’t consider is disability insurance. Of course this would be a good time to have it as the recovery can take up to twelve months. Depending on the type of work, this can leave a person broke even if they have the sports injury insurance for the medical costs.
So don’t be without sports injury insurance or disability insurance and protect your future.

Achilles tendinitis is often the result of over-use and usually compounded by activity on hard surfaces such as concrete. This condition is usually recognized by tenderness around the heel area with possible swelling and pain.
