A sports injury is any musculoskeletal issue caused by physical activity. It can affect your muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons or bones  and if not treated properly, it can return again and again.

We provide expert care for a wide range of sports injuries, including:

• Sprains and Strains: Common injuries affecting muscles and ligaments, often occurring in the ankles, knees, and wrists.
• Tendonitis: Inflammation of tendons, frequently affecting the shoulders, elbows (e.g., tennis elbow), and knees.
• Fractures: Breaks in bones, which can range from stress fractures to more severe breaks.
• Dislocations: Injuries where bones are forced out of their normal position, commonly seen in shoulders and fingers.
• ACL Injuries: Tears of the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee, often due to sudden stops or changes in direction.
• Meniscus Tears: Injuries to the knee’s cartilage, usually caused by twisting or turning motions.
• Rotator Cuff Injuries: Tears or strains affecting the shoulder muscles and tendons.
• Shin Splints: Pain along the shin bone, often from overuse or improper footwear.
• Plantar Fasciitis: Inflammation of the tissue along the bottom of the foot, causing heel pain.
