At Advanced Sports Medicine, Dr. Johnson provides comprehensive care for a wide range of sports injuries, including:
• Pulled Hamstring: This injury affects the muscles at the back of your thigh, common in sports involving running, jumping, and sudden changes in direction. The pain can range from mild to severe depending on the severity of the strain.
• ACL Injury: The ACL is a crucial ligament in the knee, often injured during twisting or pivoting movements. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to minimizing the need for surgery and promoting optimal recovery.
• Achilles Tendonitis: This condition involves inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which connects your calf muscles to your heel. Overuse or repetitive stress can lead to pain and potential rupture if left untreated.
• Rotator Cuff Tear: The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. Repetitive overhead motions can cause tears, resulting in pain, weakness, and limited range of motion.
• Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow: These conditions involve inflammation of the tendons around the elbow, leading to pain and difficulty gripping or lifting objects.
