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

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 trained to diagnose and treat sports injuries non-surgically. Orthopedic Surgeons are surgical specialists for the musculoskeletal system. They often work together, with the Sports Medicine Physician as the initial point of contact, referring to the surgeon when surgical intervention is needed.

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 the goal of physical therapy after an injury or surgery?

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

How is osteoarthritis treated non-surgically?

Non-surgical osteoarthritis management focuses on symptom relief and preserving joint function. Strategies include modifying activities that exacerbate pain, strengthening supporting muscles through physical therapy, maintaining a healthy weight to reduce joint stress, and utilizing injections like cortisone or viscosupplementation. These powerful approaches can effectively manage symptoms and potentially prevent or delay the need for joint replacement surgery.

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 quicker return to activity compared to traditional open surgery.

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

Preventing ACL tears and other common 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's the difference between a sprain and a strain?

A sprain affects ligaments, connecting bone to bone, while a strain involves muscles or tendons, which connect muscle to bone. Think "ligaments = bone to bone" and "muscles/tendons = muscle to bone.

What is carpal tunnel syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition caused by pressure on the median nerve at the wrist, often leading to numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. Early intervention with bracing and therapy is key to preventing the need for surgery.
