Injuries by Sport

While any injury is possible during athletic activities, some are more likely to occur during specific sports than others. For all injuries, treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach including athletic trainers, coaches and physical therapists. Rehabilitation is critical for the athlete to get back onto the field. As with all athletes, the timing and severity of injury needs to be correlated with the sports season to determine the exact course of treatment. No matter what your injury or your sport, Dr. Joyce, Dr. Dukas and Dr. Merrill are focused on getting you back to playing as soon as you are able. He and our physical therapists as well as your trainers and coaches will work closely together to provide the best plan possible for your specific situation.
