Treatments used in sports medicine vary according to the type of injury and its severity. Fractures are likely to need a cast to immobilize the bones while they mend, and if you have a severe fracture, you might need to have the bones manually or surgically realigned first.
Physical therapy forms the basis of most treatment plans.
In addition to stretching and strengthening exercises tailored to your specific needs, the Elite Sports Medicine + Orthopedics physical therapy team specializes in rehabilitation from surgical interventions and prevention of future injuries.
Other treatments that could be beneficial include:
- Epidural steroid injections
- Joint injections
- Regenerative medicine
- Radiofrequency ablation
In cases where these treatments aren’t proving effective, the orthopedic surgeons at Elite Sports Medicine + Orthopedics specialize in performing minimally invasive surgery.
