Sports Injuries We Treat
OrthoTexas provides comprehensive care for the full spectrum of sports-related injuries, helping athletes recover quickly, move efficiently, and return to peak performance. Our sports medicine specialists understand the physical demands of training and competition, as well as the unique mechanisms behind athletic injuries. Whether you’re a young athlete, recreational competitor, or seasoned professional, OrthoTexas delivers expert, performance-focused care tailored to your sport and goals.
ACL, MCL, LCL, and PCL Injuries
Ligament injuries are common in pivoting and contact sports such as soccer, basketball, and football. These injuries affect knee stability and often require specialized treatment or surgery to restore full athletic function.
Meniscus Tears
These injuries occur when a broken bone penetrates the skin, increasing the risk of infection and requiring immediate surgical attention. Urgent care is essential to clean the wound, stabilize the bone, and protect long-term function.
Shoulder Injuries (Labral Tears, Rotator Cuff Tears)
Overhead and throwing athletes frequently experience shoulder instability, labral tears, and rotator cuff injuries. These conditions can limit power, range of motion, and performance without proper evaluation and rehabilitation.
Ankle Sprains & Instability
Ankle sprains are among the most common sports injuries. Without proper rehab, athletes face increased risk of reinjury and chronic instability, affecting agility and balance.
Achilles Tendonitis & Ruptures
A non-union occurs when a bone fails to heal, while a malunion occurs when it heals in the wrong position. Both conditions may cause pain, deformity, or loss of function and often require specialized surgical correction.
Stress Fractures
Repetitive loading, especially in running and high-impact sports, can cause small cracks in the bone. Early intervention prevents progression to more severe injuries.
Hip and Groin Injuries (FAI, Labral Tears)
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and labral tears often cause deep hip or groin pain, limiting speed, flexibility, and direction changes essential for many athletes.
Tendonitis & Overuse Injuries
Patellar tendonitis, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, and similar overuse injuries are common in athletes with repetitive movement patterns. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation and improving mechanics.
Muscle Strains & Soft-Tissue Injuries
Hamstring, quadriceps, and calf strains occur frequently during sprinting, jumping, and sudden directional shifts. Early therapy helps restore strength and prevent reinjury.
Sports Concussions (if treated)
If concussion management is part of OrthoTexas services, evaluation includes symptom assessment, neurological screening, and structured return-to-play protocols to ensure athlete safety.
Cartilage Injuries & Osteochondral Defects
High-impact sports can damage joint cartilage, affecting mobility and long-term joint health.
Throwing Injuries in Youth Athletes
Pitchers and overhead athletes may experience shoulder or elbow stress injuries due to repetitive motion.
Running-Related Injuries
Shin splints, IT band syndrome, and foot/ankle issues are common in distance runners and require gait-focused treatment.
Postural & Movement Imbalances in Athletes
Incorrect movement patterns can lead to recurring injuries; biomechanical assessment optimizes performance.
Sports Medicine Treatments and Services
OrthoTexas offers a full spectrum of sports medicine treatments designed to support athletes at every stage of injury, recovery, and performance. Our fellowship-trained sports medicine specialists combine advanced diagnostics, non-surgical care, and state-of-the-art surgical options to deliver individualized, athlete-focused treatment plans. Whether the goal is pain relief, injury repair, or performance optimization, OrthoTexas provides comprehensive care that helps athletes return safely to play and stay competitive long term.
Non-Surgical Treatments
Many sports injuries can be treated without surgery through physical therapy, activity modification, bracing, and sport-specific rehabilitation. When appropriate and offered, regenerative medicine options may also support tissue healing and recovery.
Image-Guided Injections
Precision-guided injections such as cortisone, viscosupplementation, and biologic treatments like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) help reduce inflammation, manage pain, and support recovery while minimizing downtime.
Arthroscopic Surgery
Minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques are used to treat shoulder, knee, hip, and ankle injuries. These procedures allow for smaller incisions, less tissue disruption, and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.
ACL Reconstruction & Ligament Surgery
Reconstruction procedures address torn knee ligaments using carefully selected graft options. Treatment plans focus on restoring stability, strength, and confidence while supporting safe return-to-sport timelines.
Meniscus Repair & Treatment
Preserving the meniscus is a priority whenever possible, as it plays a critical role in knee stability and long-term joint health. Treatment options are tailored to the athlete’s age, sport, and injury pattern.
Tendon Repair & Reconstruction
Severe tendon injuries may require surgical repair or reconstruction to restore strength and function. These procedures are designed to help athletes regain power and reduce the risk of reinjury.
Return-to-Play Programs
Structured return-to-play protocols guide athletes through progressive testing and functional milestones to ensure readiness for competition while minimizing reinjury risk.
Performance Optimization & Injury Prevention
Biomechanical assessments, targeted strengthening, and sport-specific conditioning programs help improve movement efficiency and reduce injury risk during training and competition.
Athletic Training Support
If available, OrthoTexas may partner with schools or athletic programs to provide on-site athletic trainers, injury evaluations, and sideline coverage to support athlete safety and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a sports medicine doctor treat?
Sports medicine doctors treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including acute injuries such as sprains, fractures, and ligament tears, as well as overuse injuries like tendonitis and stress fractures. They also address performance-related issues, injury prevention, and safe return-to-play planning for active individuals.
Do I need to be an athlete to see a sports medicine specialist?
No. Sports medicine physicians care for anyone with an active lifestyle, including recreational athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and individuals whose work or hobbies place physical demands on their bodies. You don’t need to compete in sports to benefit from sports medicine care.
How long does it take to recover from a sports injury?
Recovery time varies depending on the type and severity of the injury, as well as the treatment required. Minor injuries may improve in a few weeks, while more complex conditions or surgical recovery can take several months. Your provider will outline an expected recovery timeline based on your specific injury.
What is the difference between an athletic trainer and a sports medicine doctor?
Athletic trainers focus on on-field injury prevention, immediate care, and rehabilitation support. Sports medicine doctors are physicians who diagnose injuries, order imaging, provide medical and surgical treatment, and oversee comprehensive care. They often work closely together as part of an athlete’s care team.
When can I return to my sport after an injury?
Return-to-play timing is based on individual evaluation, healing progress, strength, and functional testing. Sports medicine specialists use structured, evidence-based return-to-play protocols to help ensure athletes resume activity safely and reduce the risk of reinjury.
Can sports medicine help prevent future injuries?
Yes. Sports medicine care often includes biomechanical assessments, conditioning programs, and education designed to improve movement patterns and reduce injury risk.
Do sports medicine doctors perform surgery?
Some sports medicine physicians are orthopedic surgeons who perform procedures such as arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction, and tendon repair when surgery is needed.
Will I need imaging for a sports injury?
Imaging such as X-ray, MRI, or ultrasound may be used to accurately diagnose your injury and guide treatment decisions, depending on your symptoms and exam findings.
Is physical therapy part of sports medicine care?
Physical therapy is often a key component of treatment, helping restore strength, mobility, and performance while supporting a safe return to activity.
Can youth athletes see a sports medicine specialist?
Yes. Sports medicine specialists treat athletes of all ages, including children and teens, with care tailored to growth, development, and sport-specific demands.
