Sports Medicine Specialists are doctors trained in musculoskeletal medicine to care for competitive athletes, as well as adults and children. Our professional expertise extends far beyond sports injuries to include conditions such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, arthritis, and work-related injuries. Just like in sports, our goal is to help patients recover and regain full function as quickly as possible while minimizing potential risks and complications.

As  doctors, we specialize in non-invasive treatments for musculoskeletal issues, helping patients heal while avoiding surgery and its potential risks. Therefore, our approach focuses on rehabilitation, physiotherapy, safe medications, and other non-surgical treatments to promote healing.

Additionally, Sports Medicine Specialists are valuable resources for those who want to become active or begin a safe and effective exercise program.

Ultrasound technology is rapidly revolutionizing medical practice at the point of care. At the present time, it is an integral tool in multiple specialties, including emergency medicine, anesthesia, neurology, general surgery, endocrinology, rheumatology, pediatrics, and family medicine.

Ultrasound can be a cost-effective diagnostic tool to evaluate musculoskeletal pain as well as to perform therapeutic intervention at the point of care.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a groundbreaking innovation in regenerative medicine as well as in sports medicine. In essence, the treatment uses the patient’s own (autologous) blood, which is drawn, separated, and concentrated to create a platelet-rich solution. This concentrate is then injected into the affected area to trigger or accelerate the body’s natural healing response.

PRP injections are commonly used in sports medicine to treat conditions such as injuries in ligaments, tendons, muscles and joints. Unlike traditional therapies, which fail to address the poor healing properties of connective tissue and may cause serious adverse effects, PRP injections stimulate the body’s natural healing processes and can shorten recovery time.

PRP injections use the patient’s own blood, therefore they cannot be rejected or cause harm, eliminating the risk of adverse effects.

Doctor, can acupuncture help my condition?

The best answer can come from an experienced practitioner. Based on your medical history, condition, and current treatments, they can help determine if acupuncture is suitable on its own or in combination with standard medical treatments.

If Western medical treatments fail to resolve the issue, are costly, or cause side effects, acupuncture may be worth trying. For example, acupuncture is not a suitable treatment for dizziness caused by earwax buildup. However, if standard treatments and medications aren’t controlling your back pain, acupuncture could be a valuable option. In this case, it can complement routine care, potentially reducing or eliminating the need for medications and breaking the cycle of flare-ups.

Nerve conduction testing (NCT) is an important tool in musculoskeletal medicine to evaluate the function of the motor and sensory nerves in the human body. In essence, the test measures how quickly and strongly electrical signals travel along a nerve, which can help diagnose nerve problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, or nerve damage.

Nerve conduction testing is particularly useful to determine blocks, dysfunctions, or damage that may contribute to symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, burning, or weakness of the arms or legs, or when there is a concern about a possible neurologic injury or disorder.

Physical therapy, or physiotherapy addresses injuries and problems that limit a person’s ability to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives as well as those that cause or contribute to pain. It usually includes providing a specific treatment when movement and function are compromised by injury, disease, aging, or other factors.

Depending on your specific condition, therapy may include treatments such as a referral to a trained physiotherapist, a prescription with detailed instructions for your home exercise program, or combination of both.
