Sports medicine focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating injuries related to physical activity. It addresses everything from sprains, strains, and fractures to overuse injuries and joint problems. The goal is to promote safe recovery, enhance physical performance, and reduce the risk of re-injury—so active individuals can return to the activities they love with confidence.
A rotator cuff tear may occur with repeated use of the arm for everyday activities such as walking your dog. It is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain in middle-aged and older individuals. Pain may be accompanied by arm weakness, stiffness, swelling and a crackling sensation with certain shoulder movements. A personalized treatment plan based on a thorough examination helps optimize your care.
Computer navigated shoulder replacement is an image-guided, minimally invasive surgical procedure in which the damaged or worn out articulating surfaces of the shoulder joint are removed and replaced with artificial prostheses under the assistance of advanced computer technology.
Tommy John surgery involves reconstructing a damaged ligament on the inside of the elbow called the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) with a tendon graft usually obtained from the patient's own body. Surgical intervention helps athletes involved in throwing sports achieve quicker healing and stability to restore performance levels. Former baseball player Tommy John was the first to successfully receive this procedure.
