What to Expect
During your sports medicine evaluation, we will discuss your injury, overall physical health, and any symptoms you’re experiencing. We’ll also conduct a physical exam and may order lab work and diagnostic imaging tests to inspect joints and soft tissues more closely. Your provider will create a customized care plan based on your results that will help relieve your symptoms and prevent deterioration.
We’ll start by recommending non-surgical therapy options, such as:
- Bracing
- Activity modifications
- Physical therapy
- Injection therapy
- Lifestyle and diet changes
If these treatments don’t work, we’ll refer you to an orthopedic surgeon who will repair damaged bones and soft tissues. We’ll closely monitor your recovery through follow-up visits to ensure proper healing so you can return to your sport as soon as possible.
