Common Sports Medicine Conditions

  • Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons is common and can cause serious pain in a number of areas including the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle.
  • Impingement Syndrome: This condition affects the shoulder and causes pain when reaching above the back or overhead.
  • Osteoarthritis: This common type of arthritis is caused by the breakdown of cartilage in your joints and impacts more than 20 million Americans.
  • Back Injury: Many sports injuries impact the upper or lower back, causing acute or chronic pain.
  • Shin Splints: Often caused by running, dancing or athletic activity, shin splints occur when there is an overload of stress on the shinbone and surrounding connective tissues.
  • Plantar Fasciitis: This condition is caused by painful inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is the connective tissue near the arch of your foot.

If you need additional support, we can also refer you to either a rehabilitation specialist or orthopaedic doctor.
