Follow-up continues with physical therapy and regular checkups immediately after the injury, during your recuperation and once your return to regular activities and play.
While undertaking a thorough evaluation of your condition, your sports injury doctor may determine that you’re suffering from an overload injury. This injury happens to athletes when there is a repeated trauma over an extended period or when you don’t allow enough time to heal and then get reinjured. These types of injuries create physiological stress on that part of your body and make it harder to respond to sports injury treatment.

I've been a patient here at Spine & Rehab Group for 3 years now and have nothing but good things to say. An absolutely wonderful staff including my PA, Melanie Fillian who is extremely knowledgeable and caring and has great bedside manners.

I refer friends there as well with great results! Easy to reach and make appointments, great understanding and caring staff and convenient location. I highly recommend this practice for anyone who suffers from chronic pain and or sports injuries.
Pete M ★★★★★I've been seeing Dr. Chu for a number of years for help with managing joint pain and recurrent sports injuries. He has always been attentive, cautious, and thorough during all of my visits. He was careful in his assessment, asking X-rays, an MRI, and occasionally even a blood test before starting any therapies or injections. Surgery has been considered, but Dr. Chu has never pushed surgery—only suggested it as an option. Instead, we've focused on non-surgical pain management techniques that better fit my needs for work and sports.
