Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Sports Medicine care with Dr. Erin Wolff:

What is the difference between a Sports Medicine Physician and an Orthopedic Surgeon?

Sports Medicine Physicians, like Dr. Wolff, are often the first point of contact for sports injuries, focusing on non-surgical treatment. If surgery is needed, they will work closely with orthopedic surgeons to ensure the best possible care. Orthopedic surgeons are surgical specialists for the musculoskeletal system.

What is a stress fracture?

A stress fracture is a tiny crack in a bone, often from repetitive use or overuse. It's different from an acute fracture, which results from a single impact. Proper diagnosis and rest are essential to prevent the crack from worsening.

What is a rotator cuff tear?

A rotator cuff tear is damage to one or more of the four muscles and tendons that stabilize your shoulder joint, often from overuse or a sudden injury. Treatment focuses on relieving pain and restoring function, preventing long-term weakness and arthritis.

When is a joint replacement surgery recommended?

Joint replacement is considered when arthritis pain and stiffness significantly limit daily activities, and other treatments have proven ineffective. This decision is made in partnership with your orthopedic surgeon to restore function and prevent pain from significantly impacting your life.

What's the difference between a sprain and a strain?

A sprain involves ligaments (bone to bone), while a strain involves muscles or tendons (muscle to bone).

How can I prevent common sports injuries like an ACL tear?

Preventing ACL tears and other sports injuries involves a dedicated program of neuromuscular training. Proper warm-ups, strength training focused on hamstrings and glutes, and practicing correct landing and pivoting techniques are crucial. This proactive approach helps protect your joints during activity.

What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy?

PRP therapy is a regenerative medicine technique where a concentrated amount of your own platelets is injected into the injured area. The goal is to use your body's natural healing factors to speed up the repair of tendons, ligaments, and joints, offering a modern, non-surgical approach to preventing the progression of chronic injuries.

How do custom orthotics help prevent foot and ankle problems?

Custom orthotics are shoe inserts tailored to support and align your foot and ankle. By correcting biomechanical issues like flat feet, they reduce stress on your feet, ankles, and knees, helping prevent problems like plantar fasciitis and tendonitis.
