Conditions and Treatments

• Common Sports Injuries

  An injury can happen anywhere at any time, and if untreated, can have a long-lasting impact on our favorite activities. Our sports medicine team provides you with exceptional medical and surgical care for a wide range of common sport-related issues, including:

  • ACL tears 
  • Broken and fractured bones
  • Bursitis 
  • Cartilage injuries 
  • Concussions
  • Degenerative arthritis
  • Hip injuries
  • Ligament and tendon injuries
  • Rotator cuff tears 
  • Sprains and strains
  • Tendonitis
• Common Sports Injury Treatments

  The treatments for these injuries and conditions may include:

  • Arthroscopy: a surgical procedure that doctors use to view the interior of your joints without making a large incision through your skin
  • Bracing, casting, and splinting: used to limit movement, reduce pain, provide support, and provide compression
  • Diagnostic ultrasound: a non-invasive way to diagnose injuries to ligaments, muscles, and tendons, as well as guiding fluid aspiration procedures
  • Platelet rich plasma injections: injecting your own plasma into injured or non-healing tissue can speed up healing
  • Visco-supplementation injections: injected into the joint, hyaluronic acid acts as a lubricant to enable bones to move more smoothly

  Each athlete’s injury and recovery goals are unique. With cutting-edge surgeries, innovative non-surgical options, and close coordination with our whole team, we offer professional athlete level care in a community setting. Our sports medicine team works closely with you, your referring doctor, and our regional network of skilled specialists to provide the lasting relief you need.
