Diagnosis

A sports injury assessment considers the mechanism of injury, pain location, swelling, movement, strength, joint stability and the demands of your sport.
Depending on the findings, X-rays, ultrasound, MRI or other imaging may be recommended to understand the injury and plan treatment.
When should you seek an evaluation?
- Sudden pain during training or competition
- Swelling after an injury
- Joint instability or giving way

Frequently Asked Questions
Sports Injury Treatment FAQs
What is the best treatment for a sports injury?
There is no single treatment for every sports injury. The appropriate plan depends on the injured structure, severity, symptoms, activity demands and diagnosis.
Do sports injuries always require surgery?
No. Many sports injuries improve with appropriate rehabilitation and non-surgical care. Surgery is considered for selected injuries where it is likely to provide meaningful benefit.
When should I get an MRI for a sports injury?
MRI may be recommended when a soft-tissue, cartilage or ligament injury is suspected, symptoms persist, or the examination suggests an injury that needs more detailed assessment.
How can I prevent sports injuries?
Gradual training progression, adequate recovery, strength and conditioning, good movement control and sport-specific preparation can reduce injury risk. Previous injuries should also be rehabilitated properly.
When can I return to sports after an injury?
Return depends on the diagnosis and recovery. Pain control alone is not enough; strength, movement, stability and sport-specific function should be adequately restored.
