Sports injuries are physical injuries that occur during athletic activities or exercise. These injuries can affect various parts of the body, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones. Common sports injuries include sprains, strains, fractures, and tendonitis, which can result from acute trauma or repetitive stress.

Common Sports Injuries We Treat

At Advance Ortho Center, we treat a variety of sports injuries, including:

  • Sprains involve the stretching or tearing of ligaments, typically affecting joints like the ankle, knee, or wrist.
  • Strains involve the stretching or tearing of muscles or tendons, commonly occurring in the back, hamstrings, or quadriceps.
  • Fractures: Fractures can occur in any bone and are common in contact sports. They can range from simple fractures to complex breaks requiring surgical intervention.
  • Tendon Injuries: Tendinitis, such as Achilles tendinitis or patellar tendinitis, involves inflammation of tendons due to overuse or injury. Tendon tears, such as rotator cuff tears, may also occur in athletes.
  • Cartilage Injuries: Injuries to cartilage, such as meniscal tears in the knee, can cause pain and instability, impacting athletic performance.
  • Overuse Injuries:Overuse injuries result from repetitive motion and stress on muscles, joints, and bones. Common examples include stress fractures, shin splints, and runner’s knee.

Types of Sports Injury Treatments We Offer

At Advance Ortho Center, we provide a comprehensive range of treatment options tailored to the specific needs of athletes:
Non-Surgical Treatments

We emphasize conservative treatment methods whenever possible. Non-surgical options may include:

  • Rest and Activity Modification: Allowing time for healing while modifying activities to prevent further injury.
  • Physical Therapy: Customized rehabilitation programs to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and restore function.
  • Medications: Pain management and anti-inflammatory medications to alleviate discomfort and reduce swelling.
  • Bracing and Support: The use of braces, splints, or supports to stabilize the injured area during recovery.
Surgical Treatment

When non-surgical options are insufficient, our orthopedic specialists perform various surgical procedures, including:

  • Arthroscopy: A minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat joint issues, such as torn cartilage or ligaments.
  • Ligament Reconstruction: Surgery to repair or reconstruct torn ligaments, such as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee.
  • Fracture Repair: Surgical intervention for complex fractures to realign and stabilize bones for proper healing.
