Sports injury conditions we treat.

Sports injuries have many causes, from overtraining to a single awkward landing. These are the injuries we diagnose and treat most often.

  • Sprains and Strains

    Overstretched or torn ligaments and muscles from a sudden twist, fall, or awkward landing.

  • ACL and Meniscal Tears

    Knee ligament and cartilage injuries from pivoting, cutting, or a sudden stop.

  • Rotator Cuff and Shoulder Injuries

    Strain or damage in the shoulder from throwing, swinging, or repetitive overhead motion.

  • Achilles and Patellar Tendon Injuries

    Inflamed or strained tendons from running, jumping, and repetitive impact.

  • Shin Splints

    Pain along the shin bone from repetitive running or a sudden jump in training load.

  • Swollen Muscles and Joints

    Swelling after a strain or impact that limits motion and slows a return to play.

Why a sports injury shouldn't be ignored.

Overtraining, poor form, and skipping a warm-up all raise the risk of injury, and playing through pain tends to slow recovery.

  • Playing through pain risks a worse injury. Competing or training on an unhealed strain or sprain often turns a minor injury into a lasting one.
  • Time out of the game keeps growing. Untreated soft-tissue injuries tend to heal slower and can sideline you longer than one managed early.
  • Reliance on medication. Painkillers ease symptoms without treating the injury, and can mask signs that something is still wrong.

Non-surgical sports injury treatments.

Every treatment is non-surgical. Dr. Menon uses live ultrasound guidance so medication reaches the exact tendon, ligament, or joint causing your pain.

I am an athlete, and at times overwork my body. I went in at a pain level 10 for my back, and within a few weeks I was back to normal activity. Today I am at a level 0, and so grateful to do all of my favorite things!

Sports injury questions, answered.

Still unsure? Call us and a person will answer.

What Non-Surgical Treatments Help Sports Injuries?
Ultrasound-guided injections, joint and tendon injections, corticosteroid injections, and trigger point injections, chosen based on which tendon, ligament, or muscle is injured.
How Soon Can I Return to My Sport After Treatment?
It varies by injury and treatment. Many patients ease back into activity within weeks, guided by strength and pain response rather than a fixed timeline.
Does Insurance Cover Sports Injury Treatment?
Coverage varies by plan and injection type. Many sports-injury treatments are covered when medically indicated. Medicare is accepted directly. For all other insurers, our team provides free benefits verification before your visit. Start on our insurance verification page.
Should I Play Through the Pain or Rest?
Pain during activity is a signal, not something to push through. Continuing to compete on an unhealed strain or sprain raises the risk of a longer-lasting injury.
What Is the Difference Between a Sprain and a Strain?
A sprain injures a ligament connecting bone to bone. A strain injures a muscle or tendon. Both range from mild to severe and benefit from an accurate diagnosis.
When Should I See a Doctor for a Sports Injury?
See a doctor if pain is severe, swelling does not improve, the joint feels unstable, or pain lingers beyond a week or two despite rest and ice.
