Sports Medicine

Athletes and active individuals alike depend on a healthy musculoskeletal system to perform at their highest aptitude. However, when a sports-related injury occurs, it can take you out of the game for days, weeks, or even months at a time, depending upon its severity.

Sports Medicine deals with just that – the diagnosis and treatment of injuries and conditions sustained from an active lifestyle. Injuries and musculoskeletal pain are common occurrences in the active community because of the strain put on our bodies from constant physical activities.

It’s possible to sustain all kinds of injuries when living an active lifestyle, but some of the most common include:

• Neck and Shoulder Injuries (ex. Rotator cuff, Slap Tears)
• Arm and Elbow Injuries (ex. Biceps & Triceps Rupture, Tennis Elbow, Fractures)
• Hip and Knee Injuries (ex. Labrum, Meniscus, ACL, MCL, and PCL)
• Upper Leg Injuries, (ex. Quad & Hamstring Injuries)

The experts at Vantage Surgery Center are dedicated to the treatment of physical activity-related injuries, as well as to providing lasting solutions in order to allow a smooth return to an active lifestyle. A “return to play” is most often the goal of the patient, so our experts will explore every option to ensure you’re getting the repairs you need.
