Any person may suffer an injury at any time. While some will heal on its own, others would require the aid of a medical expert.
All orthopedic or sports injuries do not require surgery to heal. Non-surgical procedures can cure a wide range of sports-related injuries.
The cause for each injury will be different from others. Sometimes, it could be an accident. Other times, a fall might have hurt you. Overuse injuries are also common when one overstrains their muscles.
There is a wide range of non-surgical treatments that can relieve your pain or heal an injury. An expert doctor specializing in sports medicine can advise you on the best treatment for your injury.
Some of the non-surgical treatment methods in use are:
- Physical therapy prescription
- Exercise guidance and modifications
- Injury prevention strategies
- Medication management
- Shockwave therapy
- Trigger point injections to relieve musculoskeletal pain
- Joint and bursa injections
- Ultrasound-guided injections of the tendons and ligaments
- Fluoroscopic or X-ray guided epidural injections
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, or bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) therapy
