Sports Medicine
Sports medicine specializes in the non-operative treatment of musculoskeletal conditions and medical issues related to exercise or sports. At Family Care Network Sports Medicine, our goal is to maximize function and minimize disability and time away from sports, work, or school.
Our Sports Medicine physicians work with patients at all levels, young and old, from recreational enthusiasts to competitive athletes — the same expertise used for the competitive athlete can be applied to help anyone return to full function as soon as possible. Sports medicine is also an excellent place to start for individuals who would like to become active or begin an exercise program.
Areas of expertise:
- Acute injuries
- Chronic issues, such as recurrent sprains or strains, plantar fasciitis, joint pain, etc.
- Non-surgical fracture management
- Concussion management
On-site services:
- Ultrasound – diagnostic and guided therapeutic procedures
- Injections –Â including platelet-rich plasma, HA (hyaluronic acid therapy), prolotherapy, and hydrodistention treatments
- Aspiration
- X-ray and lab
Through careful evaluation and assessment, we can help you return to an active, healthy lifestyle. When necessary, we can guide appropriate referrals to physical and occupational therapists or expedite referral to an orthopedic or sports surgeon.
