Sports Injuries in Vermont

Assisting Your Return to Active Life

Regardless of whether you’re a seasoned professional athlete or an enthusiastic amateur, sports injuries can occur unexpectedly. At Vermont Family Medicine, our expertise lies in diagnosing, treating, and preventing a broad spectrum of sports-related injuries. Our goal is to facilitate your swift recovery and help you resume the activities you enjoy.

Frequently Encountered Sports Injuries

Our team boasts extensive experience in addressing both acute and chronic injuries arising from sports and physical activities. Some of the most prevalent injuries we encounter include:

  • Sprains & Strains
    • Sports often lead to overstretched or torn ligaments (sprains) and muscles or tendons (strains), making these among the most common injuries.
  • Fractures & Dislocations
    • High-impact sports can cause bones to break or joints to be forced out of alignment.
  • Tendinitis
    • Repetitive movements can result in tendon inflammation, typically affecting the shoulders, elbows, and knees.
  • ACL, MCL & Meniscus Injuries
    • Knee injuries are particularly prevalent in sports that involve sudden stops or changes in direction, such as soccer, basketball, and skiing.
  • Rotator Cuff Tears
    • Injuries to the shoulder can impair your ability to lift objects, throw things, or even sleep comfortably.
  • Shin Splints & Stress Fractures
    • Athletes with high training loads and runners frequently experience these overuse injuries.

Our Treatment Philosophy

We employ a holistic and individualized approach to treating sports injuries. Our care encompasses:

Precise Diagnosis

Through advanced imaging, physical evaluations, and medical history reviews, we accurately identify the specific nature of your injury.

Personalized Treatment Plans

We recognize that each patient is unique. Accordingly, we devise a bespoke recovery strategy that may comprise:

  • Physical therapy & rehabilitation
  • Manual therapy & soft tissue manipulation
  • Use of bracing or supportive devices
  • Regenerative therapies (e.g., PRP, stem cell treatments)
  • Nutritional advice for healing
  • Pain management techniques

Performance Enhancement

Once the healing process has commenced, our focus shifts to enhancing strength, flexibility, and movement mechanics to minimize the risk of future injury and boost performance.
