work closely with our Orthopedic surgeons, rehabilitation therapists,
and certified athletic trainers to provide comprehensive sports primary
care and a wide range of treatment options. Our
primary care Sports Medicine physicians have specialized training in treatment and prevention of injury and illness.
We help athletes and everyday active individuals of all ages function
at their highest level and minimize disability or time away from sports,
work or school.
Our team helps treat and prevent many conditions, and offers services for
athletes including:
Acute injuries such as ankle sprains, joint injuries, dislocations and
non-surgical fractures
Overuse injuries including stress fractures, tendonitis and osteoarthritis
Concussion evaluation and treatment
Pre-participation physical examinations
Non-surgical treatments for sports injuries, including platelet-rich plasma
injections and ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal injections
Knee injuries can occur suddenly with a sprain or tear of a ligament, or
overtime with overuse. Sauk Prairie Healthcare’s Sports Medicine
physicians treat knee sports injuries including: ACL tear, PCL tear, MCL
and LCL tear, meniscal tear, patellar bursitis, patellar tendonitis, runner’s
knee, and degenerative knee arthritis.
The Sports Medicine doctors at Sauk Prairie Healthcare are experienced
in evaluating and treating hip injuries caused by playing sports. Sauk
Prairie Healthcare Sports Medicine doctors often treat these common hip
conditions which athletes may experience: hip tendonitis, greater trochanteric
pain syndrome, hip bursitis, osteoarthritis, hip labral tear, and growth
plate injuries.
The shoulder is prone to injury when we fall, throw something a little
too hard or repeat the same movement too many times. Sauk Prairie Healthcare
Sports Medicine doctors often treat these common shoulder injuries: dislocated
shoulder, AC separation, labral tear, rotator cuff tear, shoulder osteoarthritis,
shoulder tendonitis, and shoulder bursitis.
Even the most talented athlete can suffer an ankle injury in moments of
imbalance, athletic stress, and sudden strain. The Sports Medicine specialists
at Sauk Prairie Healthcare commonly see athletes with ankle sprains and
strains, ankle fracture, Achilles tendonitis, and ankle OCD.
A concussion is caused by a direct or indirect blow to the head or body.
It is any injury to a person’s brain, even if it’s mild. Even
a brief change in your mental function constitutes a brain injury that
requires monitoring and protection. Sauk Prairie Healthcare’s Sports
Medicine doctors in Sauk Prairie, Lodi and Spring Green manage and treat
concussions so you can safely recover and return to play.
