What Is Sports Medicine?

Sports medicine focuses on preventing, diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating injuries caused by active lifestyles. It combines medical knowledge and exercise science to optimize performance.

At one point, any active individual will sustain an injury. A sports medicine doctor in Houston specializes in managing such injuries with precision and expertise beyond what a general practitioner typically offers. With advanced skills and training, they provide accurate diagnoses and comprehensive treatment plans tailored to your specific needs. 

Whether you're a competitive athlete or simply someone who values staying active, visiting a sports medicine clinic in Houston should be your first step in achieving your recovery and performance goals.

Common Sports Injuries Treated

  • Rotator cuff injuries
  • Sprains and strains
  • Dislocations
  • Fractures, including stress fractures, open fractures, and closed fractures
  • Concussions
  • Tendonitis

Comprehensive, Nonsurgical Sports Medicine Solutions

With 50 years of combined experience, our providers offer trusted sports medicine in Houston for individuals looking for effective solutions that promote quick recovery and help avoid the need for surgery.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a key part of sports medicine that helps restore strength, flexibility, and mobility. It combines targeted exercises, manual therapies, and modalities for lasting recovery.

Epidural Steroid Injections 

Epidural steroid injections target inflammation and pain, particularly in the back, to provide quick relief. By reducing swelling around irritated nerves, these injections allow you to engage more comfortably in your rehabilitation program, helping speed up recovery.

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care relieves pain by aligning the spine and joints and improving overall posture. By addressing misalignments, it reduces pressure on nerves, alleviates discomfort, and promotes natural healing, helping you get back to your routine with less pain and stiffness.

Connective Tissue Matrix

The connective tissue matrix (CTM) consists of collagen and elastin fibers, proteoglycans, and glycoproteins. These components in our muscles, ligaments, and tissues assist in nutrient transport, repair, and other metabolic processes. As a type of regenerative medicine, CTM can be injected at the injury site to promote healing and long-term recovery.

FAQs

Who should see a sports medicine specialist?

  • If your injury hasn't improved after two weeks, even with at-home treatments
  • If you have an injury caused by overuse
  • If your sports injury has become chronic 
  • If you've sustained a concussion due to your sport

Is sports medicine only for athletes?

A common misconception is that sports medicine is exclusively for athletes. In reality, many patients are not competitive athletes but suffer from acute or chronic injuries caused by physical activity, exercise, or their occupation.

What should I expect during a sports medicine visit?

Expect your sports medicine doctor to review your medical history, do a physical examination, and possibly order diagnostic imaging. The doctor will ask about your symptoms, previous treatments, and the activities that may have caused or triggered your injury.

How does sports medicine help prevent injuries?

Sports medicine emphasizes proper form and technique to lower the risk of injuries. A sports medicine doctor educates patients on recognizing signs of overuse or stress, encouraging rest and recovery before more serious issues develop.

Can sports medicine help with chronic pain?

Yes, sports medicine is effective in managing chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic back pain, tendonitis, and repetitive strain injuries. These treatments aim to improve function and alleviate discomfort.

I can not say enough about this company/ family. We live in a society that is very busy, I need A place where I can go that offers all services in one location. Houston Spine and Rehab is it. They offer so many serves, like Physical therapy, aquatic therapy, massage therapy. I go on my lunch break and I'm back at work. I have been a family member of Houston Spine and rehab for several years now. I have worked with two Drs in the family. Dr. Verhuel Most call him Dr V. He is a kind, caring and always thinking about his patients. He listens to your concerns, and discuss a treatment plan. Dr Verhuel called me personal to check on me after I had brain surgery. He recognized that I was not able to have a neck adjust even though my neurosurgeon approved the treatment. He saw that it was not helping my headaches. Therefore he came up with a different treatment plan that would treat my migraines. Houston Spine and rehab have technicians who do the massage therapy and I have worked with Andrew and Jess, they are both fabulous. What surprised me was Dr Verhuel also massage patients when the techs are working on other patients. I Appreciate that they value our time as we are all busy. I also saw Dr Ackerman , who is a wonderful Doctor, he is in the Woodlands. To wrap it up, if your nervous about going to a chiropractor, or looking for a new one, Houston Spine and Rehab is the place to go. To me it is my second home. It’s a calm nurturing environment, which reminds me of family. Colleen

Myles S.
