Elite-Level Care for Athletes of All Ages
Injuries are an unfortunate part of any active lifestyle. From our primary care clinics to our sports medicine performance centers, CommonSpirit’s multidisciplinary Sports Medicine team includes board-certified sports medicine physicians, physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons, athletic trainers and rehabilitation specialists - all working together to ensure the best outcomes for every patient.
As the Official Health Care Partner of the Denver Broncos, we treat every patient like an MVP.
From concussions to sprains, our specialists are skilled in diagnosing the extent and severity of sports-related injuries. This often begins with a review of your medical history and a discussion about the details of any injury or trauma you may have experienced. After reviewing all your symptoms and performing a complete examination, additional tests such as X-rays may be necessary to fully assess your injury
Orthopedic injuries can be caused by sudden movement or stress, or by overuse of the body’s joints. Among the most commonly treated sports injuries and conditions are:
- Ankle fractures
- Ankle tendon injuries
- Biceps tendon Injury
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Chondromalacia (runner’s knee)
- Foot fracture
- Hand and finger tendon injuries
- Hand fractures
- Hip impingement
- Hip labral tear
- Knee ligament Injuries, including ACL tear, MCL tear, LCL tear and PCL tear
- Meniscus tear
- Patellar tendinitis
- Rotator cuff tear
- Ruptured Achilles tendon
- Shoulder dislocation
- Shoulder labral tear
- Tarsal tunnel syndrome
- Tennis elbow/tendinitis
- Trigger finger
Aches and pains are often an unavoidable part of any sport. But, that doesn’t mean that pain or stiffness should be taken lightly. An injury that’s left untreated often requires a longer recovery time and may even lead to permanent damage.
It’s important that you seek professional help when you experience:
- Ongoing pain
- Inability to apply weight on affected area
- Lack of mobility
- Popping, grinding or cracking sound when in use
- Swelling
- Throbbing
- Weakness
