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

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

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

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).

What is carpal tunnel syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition where pressure on the median nerve at the wrist causes numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. Early intervention with wrist bracing and therapy can often prevent the need for surgery.

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 caused by overuse or a sudden injury. Treatment focuses on relieving pain and restoring function to prevent long-term weakness and arthritis.

How is osteoarthritis treated non-surgically?

Non-surgical osteoarthritis treatment focuses on managing symptoms and preserving joint function. Key strategies include modifying activities that exacerbate pain, strengthening supporting muscles through physical therapy, maintaining a healthy weight to reduce stress on joints, and utilizing injections like cortisone or viscosupplementation. These approaches are powerful ways to manage symptoms and prevent or delay the need for joint replacement surgery.

How do custom orthotics help prevent foot and ankle problems?

Custom orthotics are custom-made shoe inserts designed to support and align the foot and ankle. By correcting biomechanical issues like flat feet, they can reduce stress on the feet, ankles, and even knees, preventing conditions like plantar fasciitis and tendonitis.

What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy?

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

What is the goal of physical therapy after an injury or surgery?

Physical therapy is a critical part of your recovery, aiming to reduce pain, restore range of motion, improve strength and stability, and retrain your body for safe movement. This essential step prevents re-injury and ensures a successful, long-lasting return to activity.
