ATHLETE MEDICAL CARE
AND INJURY PREVENTION
When trying to determine if you need medical attention for a sports injury, it is hard to know what symptoms are normal and which may require a doctor’s visit. The pain of an ankle sprain feels the same as that of a pulled muscle in your back, but they have very different implications.
The most common types of sport-related injuries we treat are; strains/sprains, bruises, some non-operative fractures, and concussions. Many other conditions may also occur as a result of participating in sports activities including heatstroke, dehydration, torn ligaments/tendons/muscles. We also treat chronic overuse injuries, including tendonitis, degenerative diseases, and overtraining syndrome.
