• Non-Surgical Treatment
  Our experts will work with you to prepare a treatment plan that is effective for you. Here are some conservative treatments we recommend, depending on your sports injury:

   

  1. Rest as much as possible!
  2. Cold compress works wonders for swelling, pain, and discomfort in the injured area. Just use an ice pack or ice wrapped in a clean towel and press it on the affected area for around 15 to 20 minutes. Repeat this four times a day as long as our specialist suggests.
  3. Use elastic wraps, splints, air casts, or another type of compression to reduce the swelling in the affected area.
  4. Work with our sports medicine team to elevate the injured part above your heart level; it helps eliminate swelling and pain.
  5. Adjust your daily activities to avoid triggering the symptoms.
  6. Improve your range of motion and strengthen your muscles with our expert physical therapist.
  7. We might recommend anti-inflammatory medication to minimize pain and inflammation.
  8. If nothing shows effective results, our sports medicine doctor might suggest a cortisone injection.
• Surgical Treatments
  In case you have sustained a severe injury, conservative treatment will not make any amends. Severe fractures, soft tissue tears, bone displacement, and other serious sports injuries will require surgical treatment.
