The experts at Elite Sports Medicine + Orthopedics can treat acute injuries like sprains and fractures and damage that develops over time from repetitive strain and overuse. Common sports injuries include:
- Tendon strains
- Ligament sprains
- Soft tissue tears
- Fractures
- Dislocations
- Impact injuries
Certain injuries are more likely to affect you if you play sports, such as ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) sprains and meniscal tears in your knees, rotator cuff tears in your shoulders, and Achilles tendon injuries in your heels.
Sprains are injuries to your ligaments – the connective tissue that attaches the bones in your joints. It’s often hard to know whether an injury like a swollen, severely painful ankle is due to a sprain or a fracture without an expert diagnosis.
Elite Sports Medicine + Orthopedics has state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging technology onsite to confirm the nature and extent of any tissue damage. An accurate diagnosis is essential to ensure you receive the most beneficial treatment.
