Sports Injuries

If you are active in sports or exercise, accidental injuries can be difficult to avoid. Sports injuries are extremely common among athletes of all ages. In many instances, they are not severe and will heal on their own, but in some cases, sports injuries can be debilitating or lead to problems later in life. As a result, it is important to seek treatment for sports injuries that are severe or do not heal within a day or two.

At Denver Physical Medicine & Rehab, we provide Denver sports medicine to treat many common sports injuries. In addition to alleviating pain in the present, we strive to correct the underlying source of your pain and discomfort to prevent future problems. We use a multidisciplinary approach to create comprehensive treatment plans tailored to the needs of each individual patient.

Depending upon the nature and severity of your injury, your treatment plan may include a number of therapies, including chiropractic, medical massage, physical therapy, etc. Each treatment plan is carefully developed by a team of medical professionals to ensure that it provides complete and effective care for the individual patient.

When to Seek Treatment for Sports Injuries

Unfortunately, many sports injuries do not heal on their own, or they do not heal appropriately. Once a joint, such as the knee or ankle, is injured, scar tissue forms on the surrounding muscle. In time, scar tissue can build up and lead to decreased muscle functionality. As a result, it is important to seek treatment right away for any sports injuries involving your joints.
