When to See a Sports Medicine Doctor

Sports-related injuries are common and don’t always occur during active play (although many do). For instance, some sports injuries strike during training, practice, or warm-up. There are many possible causes, including inappropriate equipment, improper technique, overuse, and direct trauma. Some sports injuries that we frequently diagnose and treat include:

Muscle strains
Ligament sprains and tears
Wounds and lacerations
Bruises and contusions
Bone fractures
Joint dislocations

Most sports injuries improve with a customized regimen of rest, ice applications, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), immobilization, and/or physical therapy. In some cases, however, surgery may be necessary to repair damaged tissues or realign broken bones.

Some sports injuries require emergency medical attention. If you sustain a life-threatening injury during exercise or sports, such as a direct blow to your head or neck, or if you are experiencing chest pain, difficulty breathing, or uncontrollable bleeding, we urge you to call 911 or go directly to the nearest hospital ER.

I was able to get a office visit on short notice. It seemed to be a very busy day. Rebecca took the time to listen to all of my issues and discuss a plan for additional treatment. I have always been impressed with her knowledge and bed side manner.

Dr Goodin has replaced both of my knees this year with excellent results. He and Carly listen to my concerns, act promptly and work hard to make this journey the best it can be. Carly and Dr Goodin both have GREAT bedside manner and I feel I am in expert care with them.

Dr. Richardson is the best! He did shoulder decompression surgery for me many moons ago and has continued to treat me for other shoulder, arm, and back issues since. I would recommend him to anyone!
