Injury diagnosis and treatment in sports medicine focuses on accurately identifying the cause and extent of an injury to provide the most effective care.
We begin with a concise yet thorough clinical evaluation, including detailed medical history, orthopaedic tests, functional assessments, and, when indicated, point-of-care ultrasound or digital imaging. This allows us to pinpoint the source of pain or dysfunction—for example, differentiating a simple ankle sprain from a syndesmotic tear, or a hamstring strain from lumbar-referred pain.
Once the injury is classified and graded, we implement evidence-based treatment protocols, starting with acute care for symptom control and load management, followed by targeted manual therapy, progressive loading, and motor-control retraining to correct biomechanical faults that contributed to the injury. Our treatment plans may include medical interventions, rehabilitation exercises, and guidance on training modifications, and are continually updated to reflect evolving best practices.
Continuous reassessment ensures each plan adapts dynamically to the patient’s progress, adjusting dosage, modalities, and exercises according to tissue tolerance, with the goal of restoring function, performance capacity, and confidence while minimizing the risk of recurrence. This team-based approach ensures comprehensive, patient-specific care that helps athletes and active individuals recover safely and return to their sport or activity at their best
Who Can Benefit
Typical cases we assess and treat on a regular basis include:
- Semi-professional soccer player with recurrent hamstring strain
- Middle-aged marathoner with chronic tibial stress response
- Collegiate gymnast complaining of persistent wrist pain
