Frequently Asked Questions
For additional questions or personalized support, please reach out to our team.
What types of injuries does Sports Medicine treat?
Sports Medicine specializes in injuries related to athletic activity and active lifestyles, including ligament and tendon injuries, fractures, joint sprains, overuse injuries, and concussions. We also manage chronic conditions such as arthritis or tendonitis that can affect performance and daily activity.
Do I need surgery for a sports injury?
Not always. Many sports injuries can be treated successfully with non-surgical approaches such as physical therapy, bracing, medications, or injections. Surgery is considered only when conservative treatments are insufficient or if the injury requires repair to restore full function.
How soon can I return to my sport after an injury?
Recovery time depends on the type and severity of the injury, as well as the treatment plan. Our specialists create individualized rehabilitation programs to ensure a safe and effective return to sport while minimizing the risk of re-injury.
