    Common Sports Injuries Treated at Our Weekend Clinic

    Our experienced team is equipped to handle a wide range of sports-related injuries, including:

    Sprains and Strains

    Sprains and strains are among the most common sports injuries, often resulting from sudden twists, falls, or direct impacts. A sprain involves the stretching or tearing of ligaments, the strong bands of tissue that connect bones at a joint. Strains, on the other hand, affect muscles or tendons, the tissues that connect muscles to bones. Common locations for sprains and strains include the ankle, knee, wrist, and back. Symptoms can include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the affected area. Our clinic provides comprehensive care for sprains and strains, including pain management, immobilization, physical therapy, and return-to-sport guidance. We'll assess the severity of your injury and develop a customized treatment plan to help you regain full function and prevent re-injury. Our goal is to get you back on your feet, stronger and more resilient than before. So, whether you've twisted your ankle on the basketball court or strained your back lifting weights, we're here to provide the expert care you need to recover quickly and safely.

    Fractures and Dislocations

    Fractures, or broken bones, and dislocations, where bones are displaced from their normal joint position, are more serious injuries that require prompt medical attention. Fractures can range from hairline cracks to complete breaks, while dislocations can occur in joints such as the shoulder, elbow, or finger. These injuries often result from high-impact collisions, falls, or direct trauma. Symptoms can include severe pain, deformity, swelling, and inability to move the affected area. At our Sportsmed Weekend Injury Clinic, we have the expertise and resources to diagnose and treat fractures and dislocations effectively. Our services include X-ray imaging, fracture reduction (realigning the broken bone), immobilization with casts or splints, and surgical intervention if necessary. We also provide comprehensive rehabilitation to restore strength, range of motion, and function after the injury has healed. Our priority is to ensure that you receive the best possible care to promote optimal healing and a safe return to activity. So, if you suspect you've suffered a fracture or dislocation, don't hesitate to seek immediate medical attention at our clinic.

    Knee Injuries

    The knee is a complex joint that is particularly vulnerable to injury, especially in athletes. Common knee injuries include ACL tears, meniscus tears, MCL sprains, and patellar dislocations. These injuries can occur from sudden twists, direct impacts, or overuse. Symptoms can include pain, swelling, instability, and difficulty walking or bearing weight. Our Sportsmed Weekend Injury Clinic offers comprehensive care for knee injuries, including a thorough evaluation, diagnostic imaging such as MRI, and a range of treatment options. Depending on the severity of your injury, we may recommend conservative treatments such as physical therapy, bracing, and injections, or surgical intervention such as arthroscopic repair or reconstruction. Our goal is to restore stability, function, and pain-free movement to your knee, allowing you to return to your favorite activities with confidence. We'll work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and goals. So, if you're experiencing knee pain or instability, don't let it keep you sidelined. Visit our clinic for expert diagnosis and treatment.

    Shoulder Injuries

    The shoulder is another complex joint that is prone to injury, especially in overhead athletes such as baseball players, tennis players, and swimmers. Common shoulder injuries include rotator cuff tears, labral tears, dislocations, and impingement syndrome. These injuries can result from overuse, trauma, or poor biomechanics. Symptoms can include pain, weakness, limited range of motion, and a feeling of instability. Our Sportsmed Weekend Injury Clinic offers comprehensive care for shoulder injuries, including a thorough evaluation, diagnostic imaging such as MRI, and a range of treatment options. Depending on the severity of your injury, we may recommend conservative treatments such as physical therapy, injections, and activity modification, or surgical intervention such as arthroscopic repair or reconstruction. Our goal is to restore pain-free movement, strength, and stability to your shoulder, allowing you to return to your sport or activity with confidence. We'll work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and goals. So, if you're experiencing shoulder pain or instability, don't let it limit your performance. Visit our clinic for expert diagnosis and treatment.

    Concussions

    Concussions are traumatic brain injuries that can occur from a direct blow to the head or a whiplash-type injury. They are common in contact sports such as football, hockey, and soccer. Symptoms can include headache, dizziness, confusion, memory problems, and nausea. It's crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you suspect you've suffered a concussion, as early diagnosis and management are essential to prevent long-term complications. Our Sportsmed Weekend Injury Clinic provides comprehensive concussion management, including a thorough neurological evaluation, cognitive testing, and a gradual return-to-play protocol. We'll monitor your symptoms closely and provide guidance on activity modification, rest, and rehabilitation. Our goal is to ensure that you recover fully from your concussion before returning to sport or activity, minimizing the risk of further injury. We understand the seriousness of concussions and are committed to providing the highest quality care to our athletes. So, if you've experienced a head injury, don't take it lightly. Visit our clinic for expert evaluation and management.
