What injuries can result from athletic activities?
Some sports are riskier than others, but any physical activity can result in injury. Common sports injuries include:
- Dislocation
- Ankle sprains
- Tennis elbow
- Strains
- Herniated discs
- Knee injuries
- Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
Many sports injuries can be challenging to diagnose. But Restoration Osteopathic Medicine uses cutting-edge diagnostics and imaging tests. During your consultation, you also receive an in-depth physical exam. Your provider may identify injuries never even noticed.
Once your provider understands your injuries, they review your therapeutic options. You can opt for convention remedies or explore unique osteopathic treatments.

How can osteopathic medicine improve my athletic performance?
Osteopathic medicine views your body as a vast, interconnected system. Injuries in one area can affect physical function elsewhere. Your provider uses a holistic approach to improve your physical function and provide lasting relief.
Restoration Osteopathic Medicine also offers specialized treatments like osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). This hands-on technique maneuvers tissues and joints back into their correct position. OMT can be used with medication or surgery, or as a stand-alone treatment.
