Frequently Asked Questions

How can I find short-term relief for a sports injury?

Depending on the type and severity of the sports injury, you can try several methods for short-term relief:

  • Rest: Allow your body time to recover by avoiding activities that worsen the injury.
  • Ice: Apply an ice pack to the affected area for 15-20 minutes several times a day to reduce pain and inflammation.
  • Compression: Use a compression bandage or wrap to support the injured area and reduce swelling.
  • Elevation: Elevate the injured area above heart level to alleviate swelling.
  • Over-the-counter pain relievers: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen can help manage pain and reduce inflammation.

Remember, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and personalized advice.

When might a procedure from a sports medicine orthopedic surgeon be necessary?

Surgery may become necessary when conservative treatments fail to provide relief. However, it is important to note that conservative treatments are typically preferred and pursued first before considering surgical options.
