What Is Sports Medicine?

Sports medicine blends orthopedic expertise, targeted rehabilitation, and performance science to diagnose the root cause, treat pain and inflammation, and restore strength, mobility, and confidence so you can return to activity with a lower risk of re-injury.

Conditions We Treat

• Sprains and strains (ankle, wrist, hamstring, calf)
• Runner’s knee (patellofemoral pain), IT band syndrome
• Meniscus and ligament injuries (MCL/LCL, partial ACL)
• Shoulder pain (rotator cuff tendinopathy, impingement, labrum irritation)
• Tennis elbow / golfer’s elbow
• Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis
• Shin splints, stress reactions
• Low-back and neck pain related to sport mechanics
• Overuse injuries from weight training, cycling, swimming, golf, tennis, and running

Our Non-Surgical Treatment Approach

• Comprehensive Assessment
  Focused orthopedic exam, movement analysis, ultrasound as needed, and MRI/X-ray review to pinpoint the pain generator.
• Active Rehabilitation
  Individualized physio program: load management, mobility, motor control, eccentric strengthening, and sport-specific conditioning.
• Image-Guided Procedures (Case-by-Case)
  Ultrasound-guided steroid, hyaluronic acid, PRP, prolotherapy, or trigger point injections when inflammation or tendon pathology stalls progress.
• Adjunct Therapies
  Shockwave (ESWT), taping/bracing, manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, and gait/technique coaching.
• Performance & Prevention
  Return-to-play testing, progressive loading plans, footwear/gear and ergonomics advice, travel-friendly home programs.
