Sports Medicine Q & A

What is sports medicine?

Sports medicine helps people recover from athletic injuries. At Precision Rehab Occupational Physical & Hand Therapy, the team provides rehabilitation services to enhance recovery, improve your function, and boost your physical fitness back to pre-injury levels.

People of any age and athletic ability can receive sports medicine care to guide them through a safe recovery.

When might I need sports medicine care?

In general, you need sports medicine care whenever you have a sports injury. Some of the most common kinds of sports injuries include:

Tendon strains
Muscle strains, such as groin pulls or hamstring strains
Ligament sprains, such as ankle sprains
Rotator cuff injuries
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears
Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears
Meniscal tears
Shin splints
Tendinitis, such as Achilles tendinitis
Tennis elbow
Fractures
Joint dislocations

Some very mild sports injuries, such as a minor ankle sprain, may potentially heal without medical intervention. If you return to activity too soon, however, you risk another injury.

The best course of action when you suspect a sports injury is to schedule an appointment at Precision Rehab Occupational Physical & Hand Therapy as soon as possible.
