Conservative Therapy for Common Sports Injuries
Most sports injuries will resolve with conservative therapy. During your exam, our doctors will perform various tests to determine the source of your pain, and if necessary, we can send you out for diagnostic imaging. We can also easily refer you to HSS's top orthopedic specialists. Conservative therapy for most sports injuries includes:
- Myofascial release
- Joint mobilization
- Application of heat or ice
- Electrical stimulation
- Ultrasound therapy
- Therapeutic exercise
