Treating sports injuries in Manchester

Manchester sports injuries

A sports injury can be mild or severe - but it is always disheartening. At the practice of Vipul Dua MD, our physicians can help any and all sorts of athletes with Manchester sports injuries. Whether you play sports or workout casually, or are a serious athlete, we specialize in treating sports injuries so you can get back to being active.

There are all kinds of sports injuries, and many different approaches to treatment. Every athlete is unique, and every injury is different. We work closely with our patients to craft individualized treatment plans. Some common Manchester sports injuries are fractures, tennis elbow, back pain, sprains, strains, ligament or tendon tears, rotator cuff tears, shoulder dislocation, and traumatic injuries. Some sports injury procedures include arthroscopy surgery, and reconstruction. An arthroscopy is a surgical procedure in which our surgeons visualize, diagnose, and treat problems within a joint. This involves making a small incision to insert a small lens to look inside a joint. This is how many serious injuries are able to be diagnosed and understood better before invasive surgery.

If you do need surgery, we will work with you every step of the way to ensure a successful procedure, and a safe and quick recovery. Medications, precautions, and physical therapy can be part of the after-math of orthopedic surgery. Getting you back to being active is key, but the priority is to ensure you heal well enough and gain proper strength back to avoid future injuries. Sometimes common sports injuries are minor enough to be treated with non-surgical methods. Stretching, resting, heating and icing, physical therapy, or anti-inflammatories may be sufficient. When it comes to Manchester sports injuries, your safest bet is to visit our physician when an injury is in its early stages. Ignoring a sports injury can cause long term damage, and make the injury far worse. If you have a sports injury, make an appointment with us today and learn more about how we can help you get back to being active, safe, and pain-free.
