Sports Medicine Evaluation

Sports injuries may affect various areas of the body such as the knee, shoulder or elbow. An XRAY or MRI of the injured area will look for the presence of tears and fractures. In addition, evaluation of your sports injury will include taking a look at your pain level, range of motion, swelling, joint stability, and the circumstances in which your injury occurred. Whether you pivoted your joint, heard a loud pop, sustained the injury alone or collided with another person, this can give your surgeon a clue to the inner cause of your pain.

Sports Injury Treatment

Many knee, shoulder and elbow injuries are minor enough to heal with proper bracing and physical therapy treatments. Depending on your desired activity level, it may also be an option to take a nonsurgical route for your injury or postpone surgery for a period of time while monitoring improvement. Children with growing left to do are often treated non-surgically to prevent any damage to their growth plates. Rest, ice, compression and elevation are essential in conjunction with this course of treatment.
