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

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

Sports Medicine Physicians, often from family medicine or physical medicine and rehabilitation, are experts in diagnosing and treating sports injuries, frequently with non-surgical methods. Orthopedic surgeons are surgical specialists for the musculoskeletal system, and they are consulted when surgery is needed. They work together as partners in providing the best care for athletes.

How is osteoarthritis treated non-surgically?

Non-surgical osteoarthritis treatment focuses on managing symptoms and preserving joint function. This includes modifying activities that exacerbate pain, physical therapy to strengthen supporting muscles, weight management to reduce joint stress, and injections such as cortisone or viscosupplementation. These strategies are powerful ways to manage symptoms and potentially prevent or delay the need for joint replacement surgery.

Can you help with back pain?

Yes. Sports medicine and orthopedic specialists diagnose and treat mechanical back pain, often caused by muscle strains, disc problems, or facet joint arthritis. We identify the structural cause to create a plan that prevents chronic pain and restores function.

What is arthroscopic surgery?

Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique using a small camera and instruments inserted through small incisions to precisely repair joint damage. It often results in less pain, faster recovery, and a quicker return to activity compared to traditional open surgery.

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 bracing and therapy is often successful, preventing the need for surgery.

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

A sprain affects ligaments, connecting bone to bone, while a strain involves muscles or tendons, connecting muscle to bone.

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 growth factors to accelerate healing of tendons, ligaments, and joints, offering a modern, non-surgical option to help prevent the progression of chronic injuries.

What is a rotator cuff tear?

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