Comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries including sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, tendinitis, and overuse injuries. Treatment options range from physical therapy and injection therapies (PRP, cortisone) to arthroscopic surgery and ligament reconstruction.
Tommy John surgery (UCL reconstruction) replaces a torn ulnar collateral ligament in the elbow with a tendon graft. Essential for overhead athletes — especially baseball pitchers — who need to return to throwing sports. Over 85% of athletes return to their previous level of competition.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to deliver growth factors that promote tissue healing. PRP is effective for chronic tendon injuries, mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis, and muscle injuries in athletes. Most patients need 1-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
