Sports Injury — Services, Symptoms, Solutions & FAQs

Rapid assessment, evidence-based treatment and sport-specific rehabilitation for athletes and active people. Acute care to advanced reconstruction and return-to-play planning.

Acute Care

Acute Injury Assessment & First Aid

Immediate on-field/clinic evaluation, RICE/PRICE protocols, splinting, wound care and rapid imaging referral to guide next steps.

Concussion

Concussion & Head Injury Management

Baseline and sideline assessment, graded return-to-play protocols, neurocognitive testing and multi-disciplinary management for safe recovery.

Ligament Care

Ligament Repair & Reconstruction

Arthroscopic or open ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL and ankle ligament reconstructions using modern fixation and graft strategies tailored to athlete needs.

Tendon Care

Tendon Repair & Tendinopathy Treatment

Ultrasound-guided injections (PRP), minimally invasive debridement, and surgical repairs for ruptures and chronic tendinopathy.

Arthroscopy

Arthroscopic Joint Surgery

Keyhole procedures for meniscus, cartilage, labral and impingement problems in knee, shoulder, hip and ankle for faster recovery and less morbidity.

Rehab

Sports-Specific Rehabilitation & Return-to-Play

Individualized rehab, biomechanics correction, strength & conditioning, sport-specific drills and objective RTP testing to safely clear athletes.

Symptoms

Common Symptoms

  • Acute pain or popping at time of injury
  • Swelling, bruising or joint effusion
  • Instability or giving way (especially knee/ankle)
  • Reduced range of motion or locking/catching
  • Persistent pain affecting performance or training

When to Seek Sports Care

Urgently seek assessment for severe pain, deformity, inability to weight-bear, suspected fracture, dislocation, or head injury. For ongoing pain or performance loss, early specialist input improves outcomes.

Solution

Immediate & Non-Surgical Care

  • RICE / PRICE / POLICE protocols, splinting & safe immobilisation
  • Analgesia, anti-inflammatory strategies and activity modification
  • Targeted physiotherapy, loading programmes and gait/biomechanics correction
  • Image-guided injections (corticosteroid, PRP) where indicated

Surgical Options

Indicated when instability, mechanical symptoms, or structural failure occur: arthroscopic repairs, ligament reconstructions (ACL/PCL), tendon repairs, cartilage restoration and fracture fixation using athlete-centered techniques.

Rehabilitation & Return-to-Play

  • Progressive, criterion-based rehabilitation (strength, neuromuscular control)
  • Functional testing (hop tests, strength ratios, agility) to guide return
  • Sport-specific conditioning and load management to reduce re-injury risk

Frequently Asked Questions

Return usually occurs at 6–9 months or later, depending on graft healing, strength tests, and functional milestones. Criterion-based clearance is safer than time-based alone.
PRP shows benefit for some chronic tendinopathies in selected patients when combined with an exercise programme. Results vary—discuss suitability with your specialist.
If there is significant pain, deformity, inability to bear weight, or suspected fracture/dislocation — obtain X-ray urgently. MRI/CT are used for soft tissue and complex injuries as directed by the clinician.
Yes — structured warm-ups, neuromuscular training, load management, appropriate footwear/equipment, and strength/conditioning programmes reduce the risk of many common sports injuries.
