What injuries can sports medicine treat?

Dr. Rawal treats a broad range of sports injuries at OrthoTeam Clinic. He most commonly treats shoulder and knee injuries and is experienced in helping patients recover from everything from minor sprains to torn anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs).

He starts his patients with the most conservative treatment possible, often starting with basics like the RICE technique, which calls for:

Rest

Compression

Elevation

No athlete likes to hear that they need a surgical procedure, but Dr. Rawal can improve their outcome while shortening their recovery time. As an arthroscopic surgeon, he can perform many procedures through small, minimally invasive incisions. By feeding a thin device with a camera on the end (the arthroscope) through that incision, he can perform the procedure you need without open surgery.

Can sports medicine help with injury prevention?

Absolutely. While many patients first seek care with Dr. Rawal because they’re currently injured, he continues to work with patients to help them avoid future injuries. This helps them avoid chronic injuries, enabling them to safely play their sport for years to come.

To protect athletes against injury, Dr. Rawal works with them to develop an exercise routine that strengthens key stabilizing and supporting muscles. He also helps them choose the right equipment to support their body as they play their sport.
