Sports Medicine Doctors
Athletes are known to fight through their pain to continue competing and reach their goals. However, the body can't perform at its peak level if it's pushed while injured. There's a high chance that without treatment, the injury will worsen and prevent you from competing much longer than if the problem was addressed immediately.
At Redefine Healthcare's sports medicine clinic, we use a multidisciplinary approach to sports injuries and sports injury treatment. Our team of physical therapists, sports medical doctors, neurosurgeons, orthopedists, chiropractors, and other medical professionals collaborate to build a personalized treatment plan for your pain or injury, for patients of all ages and abilities. If you have a sports injury, it's important to see a sports medicine specialist before the injury dominates your everyday life.
Acute vs. Chronic Sports Injuries
Sports injuries can be split into two categories: acute and chronic. Acute injuries occur suddenly and are usually accompanied by severe pain, like a broken bone. You'll most likely experience a loss of function and will seek immediate medical attention.
Chronic injuries develop gradually and worsen over time, often a result of repetitive movement or incorrect form. They can also be the result of a previous injury that hasn't healed properly. While chronic, overuse injuries outnumber acute injuries in most sports, their impact is underestimated because they're not instantly disabling with an obvious loss of function.
However, it's important for athletes to seek treatment for chronic injuries and to not ignore any pain or symptoms; once the injury is established, it's difficult to manage successfully. Chronic injuries can even increase your risk of an acute injury; for example, if you favor one foot over the other because of tendonitis, you increase your chances of other injuries.
