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

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 through non-surgical means. Orthopedic Surgeons are surgical specialists for the musculoskeletal system, and are often consulted by Sports Medicine Physicians when surgical intervention is needed. They work together as partners in the care of athletes.

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 the goal of physical therapy after an injury or surgery?

Physical therapy is a critical component of recovery, aiming to reduce pain, restore range of motion, improve strength and stability, and retrain the body for safe movement. This is essential to prevent re-injury and ensure a successful, long-lasting return to activity.

Do I need an MRI for my joint pain?

An MRI isn't always necessary. A thorough examination and X-rays are often sufficient to diagnose joint pain. We'll only recommend an MRI if a diagnosis remains unclear or a soft tissue injury is suspected.

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 damage often results from overuse or a sudden injury. Treatment focuses on pain relief and restoring shoulder function to prevent future weakness and arthritis.

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 focusing on hamstrings and glutes, and practicing correct landing and pivoting techniques are crucial. This proactive approach helps protect your joints during activity.

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.

How is osteoarthritis treated non-surgically?

Non-surgical osteoarthritis management focuses on powerful strategies like activity modification, physical therapy to strengthen supporting muscles, weight management to reduce joint stress, and injections such as cortisone or viscosupplementation. These approaches effectively manage symptoms and can prevent or delay the need for joint replacement surgery.
