Sports injuries vary significantly in type, severity, and recovery time. Understanding the nature of your specific injury is crucial for effective treatment and preventing re-injury.
Sports injuries can affect various parts of your body, with certain areas being more vulnerable depending on your sport. Running and jumping sports often affect knees and ankles, racquet sports commonly cause shoulder and elbow injuries, while contact sports frequently result in muscle strains and ligament tears.
Our specialist team conducts thorough assessments to identify the exact nature and extent of your injury. We use advanced diagnostic techniques including physical examination, functional movement analysis, and when necessary, imaging studies to develop a precise treatment plan tailored to your specific injury and athletic requirements.
Common injury zones in different sports
Our expert team specializes in diagnosing and treating various types of sports injuries, each requiring a unique approach for optimal recovery.
Tears in muscle fibers from overstretching or overuse. Common in hamstrings, quadriceps, calf muscles, and lower back. Grades range from mild to complete rupture.
Stretching or tearing of ligaments that connect bones. Most common in ankles, knees, and wrists. Severity ranges from mild stretching to complete tears.
Inflammation of tendons from overuse or repetitive stress. Common in elbows (tennis elbow), shoulders (rotator cuff), knees (jumper's knee), and Achilles tendon.
Small cracks in bones from repetitive impact, common in runners and jumpers. Most frequent in tibia, metatarsals, and navicular bones. Require proper rest and graduated return to activity.
Joints forced out of normal position, common in shoulders, fingers, and kneecaps. Often occur in contact sports or from falls. Require immediate medical attention and comprehensive rehabilitation.

Return to sport timing varies based on injury severity, type, and your specific sport requirements. Minor strains may allow return within 2-3 weeks, while major injuries like ACL tears require 6-9 months. Our specialists create graduated return-to-sport protocols ensuring you're fully ready for the demands of your activity.
This depends on your specific injury. Our specialists often design modified training programs allowing you to maintain fitness while protecting the injured area.
