Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the type and severity of the injury, and can range from bracing and physical therapy to injections and surgery. Our goal is to get athletes back to their sport as soon as is safely possible. We balance the level of play, type of injury, and player position/sport when determining their return to sport.
