With your help, we can make ambitious innovations in clinical care and education for our community.
Sports medicine patients come from a wide range of ages and activity levels. Many are young, active patients, including children, teens and collegiate athletes. Others are middle-aged "weekend warriors'' and aging athletes. As people live longer and stay active, we encounter injuries at various stages of activity and life.
Our sports medicine experts treat everything from sprains and strains to torn ligaments and broken bones. We use advanced orthopaedics to care for conditions of the foot, ankle, knee, hips, elbow, back and spine. Our specialty care and rehabilitation has returned thousands of amateur and professional athletes of all ages back into the game.
Arthritis is a condition that causes pain, stiffness and swelling (inflammation) in joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments or bones. Arthritis is usually ongoing (chronic). This would present with limited shoulder motion and pain with motion.
Bursitis: Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa. A bursa is a closed, fluid-filled sac that works as a cushion and gliding surface to reduce friction in the joints. The major bursae (this is the plural of bursa) are located next to the tendons near the large joints, such as in the shoulders, elbows, hips and knees.
Labral tear: A common hip injury in young people. The labrum is a thick cartilage rim of the hip joint socket (acetabulum). It can be caused by impingement of the femur neck hitting it. Symptoms can include simple groin pain with or without a clicking or catching sensation.
Our team of experts treats every patient individually. We treat you, the person; not your x-rays, or a finding in an MRI. We take the time to talk to you to learn what your goals are and go from there.
During the first visit, you will complete patient history forms and share information about what bothers you and what activities cause or worsen the concern. These questionnaires can usually be answered online within MyChart, a secure online portal where you can view and manage your medical information. If images have not been taken, then x-rays are taken for initial imaging. MRI and/or CT scans can sometimes help physicians see and understand the issue.
We encourage you to bring in all previous work-ups, including imaging on disc, so that we can import them into our system. This will provide a more thorough consultation and let us set up a better treatment plan without delay.
Once exams are done, you will meet with the doctor one-on-one to discuss your goals for treatment.
You can self-refer or be referred depending on your insurance process.
If you have suffered a sports injury, don’t let your condition worsen. Talk to your primary care physician or make an appointment with our orthopaedic sports medicine specialists.
The body is very smart about telling you if an activity is bad for you. If you have pain and swelling combined, it is usually a sign that you may be moving too fast.
Tip: Take baby steps — do things in moderation. As long as you're taking small steps, you're making progress. Listen to your body.
