Sports medicine is a branch of medicine that focuses on the prevention and treatment of injuries related to physical activities, such as running, playing sports, or exercising. It is distinct from other medical fields because it focuses on the diagnosis and management of both acute and chronic conditions that can result from participating in sports, exercising, or work.
Sports medicine also includes preventative measures to reduce the risk of certain injuries associated with physical activity. Additionally, sports medicine physicians are trained in evaluating biomechanical factors that may contribute to an athlete’s injury.
Orthopedic sports medicine physicians are experts in treating all musculoskeletal conditions and sports injuries, including:
- Labral tears of the shoulder and hip, rotator cuff injuries, and ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tears
- Overuse injuries
- Strains and sprains
- Kneecap (prepatellar) bursitis
- Shoulder instability
- Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tear
- Runner’s knee (patellofemoral pain)
- Tendon and ligament injuries
The Town Center Orthopaedics team has expertise in diagnosing and treating these and many other sports injuries. They also use their knowledge to help prevent these kinds of injuries. Our orthopedic surgeons have held team physician roles for U.S. Figure Skating, the Washington NFL football team, Special Olympics, Reston Triathlon, and several local high schools.
Depending on each patient’s case determines the treatment options for a sports injury, whether it be nonoperative or operative. In most cases, nonsurgical treatment will fix your injury. Physical therapy is often a very important component of this treatment. As a result, the orthopedic 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, 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 various 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, skilled sports medicine surgeons have specialist training in performing minimally invasive procedures, including arthroscopic approaches, that optimize your recovery.
