Sports Injuries

In Florida where the weather enables almost year-round outdoor sporting opportunities, injuries are not uncommon. Pain relief for less severe injuries may be accomplished with trigger point injections or chiropractic adjustment.

For acute or chronic sports injuries Regenerative Medicine services include human cellular tissue injections, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) therapy, and exosome therapy. These advanced treatments are designed to address soft tissue injuries with advanced healing at the cellular level. These are the therapies that professional athletes have used for years to get back and stay in the game.

Here are the most common sports injuries that we treat at our Clearwater clinic:

Achilles tendon injuries
ACL/MCL tears
Bulging or herniated disc

If your injury causes extreme swelling, bruising, or an obvious deformity, the pain is severe, or if the swelling doesn’t go away after a few days, seek treatment.
