Treatment options for sports injuries vary depending on the specific condition. They can range from physical therapy, activity modification, and regenerative treatments to advanced surgical procedures when necessary. Sports injuries can affect muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints throughout the body.
At LBJI, we diagnose and treat the following sports-related conditions:
Sports medicine focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of injuries related to sports and physical activity. It is designed to help athletes and active individuals recover quickly and safely while optimizing performance and reducing the risk of future injuries.
Common symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, stiffness, and reduced strength or mobility. Some injuries may also cause instability, popping sensations, or difficulty bearing weight or using the affected area. Symptoms can occur suddenly after an injury or develop gradually with overuse.
Treatment depends on the type and severity of the injury. Many sports injuries can be treated with non-surgical care such as rest, physical therapy, and injections. More severe injuries, such as ligament tears or fractures, may require surgical intervention followed by a structured rehabilitation program.
Surgery may be recommended when a ligament, tendon, or cartilage injury is severe, or when non-surgical treatments have not provided sufficient relief. Procedures are tailored to the specific injury with the goal of restoring stability, strength, and function so you can safely return to activity.
A return-to-play program is a structured rehabilitation plan designed to safely guide athletes back to their sport after an injury. It includes progressive strengthening, mobility work, and sport-specific training to ensure you are physically ready to perform while minimizing the risk of re-injury.
