So, you’ve suffered an injury and you’re seemingly down for the count – struggling with mobility and pain issues that are keeping you out of the game – and the game of life. Most people aren’t sure what the next step is, especially if the goal is to avoid conventional approaches like surgery or pain medication.
Fortunately, we address a wide range of sports and lifestyle-related injuries – specializing in the spine, joints, muscles, nerves, and connective tissues. Our holistic approach to health and wellness is designed to nurture and support the entire body, ensuring complete recovery, long-lasting stability, and full rehabilitation, with options not always available in traditional orthopedic or sports medicine practices.
What does full rehabilitation look like in our practice? We want you to understand what you can expect from the process every step of the way. We take an alternative and up-to-date approach to managing chronic pain and injury. We use the latest methods in regenerative medicine to help boost your body’s innate ability to heal itself in order to get you back to what you love doing - in sports and in life.
At the Center for Sports & Regenerative Orthopedics, our board-certified orthopedic physicians can help you address sports-related injuries or conditions that develop with athletic activity or an active lifestyle. contact us online or call (240) 754-7954 to schedule a consultation today with one of our Sports Medicine specialists to learn more about how we can help you eliminate pain, enhance mobility and achieve full recovery and rehabilitation after your injury.
Our mission is to provide personalized, comprehensive care that not only addresses your injury but also fits into and enhances your overall lifestyle. We integrate optimized exercise routines, nutrition strategies, and wellness practices into your treatment plan, all while utilizing innovative technologies for the best possible outcomes.
Our advanced diagnostic tools begin with ultrasound and our minimally invasive procedures include regenerative medicine therapies designed to accelerate recovery and eliminate pain at the source. Rather than just managing pain, we aim to alleviate it - so you can recover faster and perform stronger.
Our physicians are trained to not only prevent and treat injuries but also help athletes safely return to their sport after an injury and optimize future athletic performance. We can offer guidance ranging from rehabilitation options to future injury prevention - and even nutrition and overall health issues for athletes and non-athletes alike.
Our first step is to accurately diagnose sports injuries and conditions and provide effective treatment options. An accurate diagnosis is critical to your recovery – but we always take an in-depth look at the injury to gain deeper perspective on how it may be impacting your body as a whole. Understanding why what the injury entails, but also how and why the injury really is the first step on your healing journey.
Once we understand what we are dealing with, then we talk options. What are your options? There are conventional approaches like bracing, physical therapy, medication and surgery. But there are other options we offer here, including innovative therapies that optimize recovery, overall health and performance.
All too often, standard approaches to care are simply not enough. Standard care for an injury can actually lead to future injuries. Your body will find a way to overcompensate for the injured area, and that can result in further complications. After a complete exam and diagnostic ultrasound, our team will know what steps need to be taken next and will involve you in developing a proper treatment plan for you.
At the Center for Sports & Regenerative Orthopedics, harnessing the ability of our bodies to heal naturally is where we start. Our innovative and minimally invasive techniques increase blood flow to the injury, which aids in healing and strengthening – at the same time drastically reducing pain levels.
Our regenerative therapies – like PRP, for example – involve processes whereby we extract the body’s own healing agents and use them to help heal injuries. The body uses its own cells to grow new healthy tissue and repair the injury. Some of these leading-edge treatment approaches include:
Our aim is to bring the most effective results in the shortest amount of time. Our Sports Medicine team will utilize every possible treatment method to heal your body, restore your function and manage your pain. We believe in taking a whole-body holistic approach to achieve full recovery.
If we need to involve other professionals to work with you alongside our team, we may refer you to the best possible physical therapist, acupuncturist or massage therapist for your needs. Physical therapy, for example, can be an important tool in retraining the muscles of the body to restore balance and stability. It can also help strengthen the muscles surrounding an injury, often improving recovery outcomes. Our goal is always to work collaboratively with therapists, surgeons or any other treatment providers necessary to achieve your rehabilitation goals.
With years of experience and expertise, we have helped many athletes and fitness experts reverse the effects of their injuries and guided their journey back to renewed strength and mobility. But each journey has been unique. How long it takes to achieve full rehabilitation depends on factors like:
Every individual is different, and the treatment plan will be designed to meet individual needs and goals. The duration of that process will vary according to individual variables.
We work with patients who are trying to avoid the use of surgery or pain medication. If you are looking for natural solutions for healing and pain relief - or if conventional treatment options have failed you - let our Sports Medicine team at the Center for Sports & Regenerative Orthopedics help you recover and fully rehabilitate from sports injuries and conditions that limit mobility and function and cause pain.
