Sports Medicine
As the region’s most preferred orthopedic practice, OrthoArizona has a team of sports medicine doctors who are exceptional experts and leaders in diagnosing and treating sports-related injuries and conditions.
Sports injuries are common for athletes of all ages and activity levels, whether from participation in competitive sports or recreational activities. Prompt diagnosis and effective treatment are essential for athletes to return to their sport safely and quickly. Consulting with a sports medicine specialist allows for a comprehensive evaluation to determine the nature and severity of your injury, whether it be a sprain, strain, fracture, or overuse injury.
When Is It Time to Seek Care From an Expert?
Knowing when to seek specialized care for a sports injury is crucial to prevent further damage and facilitate recovery. Consider scheduling an appointment with a sports medicine specialist if you experience any of the following symptoms:
- Acute pain or swelling in the affected area
- Decreased range of motion or function
- Difficulty bearing weight on the affected limb
- Instability or giving way of the joint
- Limited performance due to pain or injury
- Persistent discomfort during physical activity
- Recurrent injuries in the same area
Choosing the right sports medicine specialist is vital for proper diagnosis and treatment. Our team of doctors has undergone extensive training and uses a wealth of experience to manage various sports-related injuries and conditions, including:
- Ankle sprains and strains
- Fractures and stress fractures
- Knee ligament injuries
- Muscle strains and tendonitis
- Shoulder dislocations and rotator cuff injuries
- Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow
Our sports medicine specialists offer a comprehensive range of treatments aimed at restoring function and helping athletes return to their peak performance, including:
- Arthroscopic surgery for minimally invasive joint repairs
- Individualized rehabilitation programs
- Joint injections
- Physical therapy
Our sports medicine specialists prioritize conservative treatment approaches whenever possible. In some instances, nonsurgical methods do not provide adequate pain relief and surgery is necessary to help restore your health. If a surgical approach is required, our sports medicine specialists will work with you to determine what procedure is best for your needs.
