Conditions our primary care sports medicine physicians treat

AHN delivers outstanding nonsurgical care from head to toe. Common sports injuries we treat include:

• Achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis, which occur from repetitive motions,
  such as running
  
• Hand and upper extremity problems, including pain from golfer’s elbow and torn shoulder tissue (rotator cuff tears)
  
• Lower back pain
  
• Knee pain
• Minor joint problems, such as bursitis, which happens when connective tissue in the knee, elbow, or shoulder becomes swollen
  
• Sprains and strains, such as ankle sprains

Nonsurgical care for sports injuries

Many people feel better with rest, ice, and over-the-counter medications. For more severe injuries, your care may include:

• Injections
  
• Physical therapy
  
• Splints, casts, or braces to protect the injured area as it heals
