Our sports medicine specialists focus on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of sports-related injuries and conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. We offer comprehensive care that goes beyond treating injuries – we help athletes optimize their performance, prevent future injuries, and maintain long-term musculoskeletal health. Our approach combines advanced medical treatments with sports-specific rehabilitation to ensure athletes can return to their activities safely and stronger than before.

Our services include thorough injury risk evaluations and biomechanical assessments to identify potential problems before they become injuries. We utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound for real-time imaging of soft tissues, allowing for precise diagnosis and treatment. Our ultrasound-guided injection therapies ensure accurate delivery of medications directly to affected areas, maximizing treatment effectiveness while minimizing discomfort.

We specialize in treating a wide range of sports-related conditions including tendonitis, ligament sprains, muscle strains, overuse injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Our treatment options include platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, corticosteroid injections, viscosupplementation, physical therapy coordination, and customized rehabilitation programs designed for specific sports and activities.

Beyond injury treatment, we offer comprehensive sports physicals and pre-participation evaluations to ensure athletes are ready for their season. Our team works closely with coaches, trainers, and physical therapists to create integrated care plans that support both immediate recovery and long-term athletic success. Whether you're a weekend warrior, student athlete, or professional competitor, Southwest Sports Medicine is committed to helping you achieve your athletic potential while maintaining optimal musculoskeletal health.
