The Town Center Orthopaedics team has expert skills in both diagnosing and treating these and many other types of sports injuries.

For most issues, nonsurgical treatment will fix your problem. Physical therapy is often a very important component of this treatment. As a result, the sports medicine team at Town Center Orthopaedics combines an extensive selection of physical therapies with the most innovative and advanced interventions. They have exceptional facilities providing services such as:

• Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization
• Trigger point dry needling
• Sportsmetrics™
• Functional movement assessment
• Joint mobilization
• Manual manipulation
• Corrective exercise regimens
• Walking and running mechanics
• Balance training
• Core stabilization
• Sport taping
• Splinting

In addition to active physical therapies, you might require a brace or orthotics, or passive treatments like therapeutic ultrasound. Your team at Town Center Orthopaedics can take care of it all for you.

When physical therapy isn’t enough, you can benefit from a range of other interventions.

Various injections, such as cortisone, gel injections, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections, and stem cells can sometimes be beneficial for reducing persistent tissue inflammation. Surgery also may be necessary. If so, the skilled sports medicine surgeons have specialist training in performing minimally invasive procedures, including arthroscopic approaches, that optimize your recovery.
