Orthopedic Sports Medicine in general treats 2 types of injuries.

Acute Injury: An immediate injury that happens during a specific incident. For example, a bone fracture, muscle strain, or an injury to the knee, shoulder, or ankle.

Overuse Injuries: Instead of the injury occurring in a moment, an overuse injury happens with ongoing use of the injured area during training. Examples include tendonitis, rotator cuff issues, or stress fractures.

If you see these signs of a serious injury, then it is smart to schedule an appointment as soon as possible:
-Inability to put weight on the injury
-Numbness
-Swelling
-Severe pain
-Severe bruising
-Limited range of motion or function
