Sports injuries require specialized care that not only treats the injury but gets you back to peak performance. Our regenerative approach accelerates healing and reduces recovery time.
Sports injury patients typically present in three patterns: (1) recreational and masters-age athletes 35–60 with overuse tendinopathies that haven't resolved with rest; (2) weekend warriors with acute injuries — partial tendon strains, ligament sprains, joint flares — who want a more active treatment plan than wait-and-see; and (3) competitive amateurs and post-college athletes balancing training load with chronic issues.
Regenerative injection therapy and shockwave both have growing evidence for chronic tendon injuries and select ligament conditions, with stronger data for some indications (lateral epicondylosis, plantar fasciitis, knee OA) than others. We're upfront about which conditions have robust evidence and which are more individualized.
Pain that lasts more than 2–3 weeks, symptoms that are getting worse instead of better, swelling that won't resolve, or any acute mechanism with significant pain or instability should be evaluated. Waiting too long can turn a fixable problem into a chronic one.
Many tendon injuries become chronic because the body's healing response stalls — the tissue stops cycling through normal repair. PRP is intended to restart and amplify that healing biology, particularly for chronic tendinopathy that hasn't responded to rest and rehab.
Not always. In-office musculoskeletal ultrasound can diagnose a large fraction of soft-tissue injuries directly and lets us inject under image guidance. We use MRI when we need detail beyond what ultrasound provides or when surgical decision-making is on the table.
Return-to-sport timing is sport-specific and injury-specific. Most patients follow a graded return rather than a hard date, with criteria like pain, range of motion, strength, and sport-specific drills determining readiness.
