What Is Sports Medicine?

A physical therapist providing treatment to an athlete

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

The most common conditions treated with chiropractic adjustments include the following:

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

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.

Testimonials

Ismael A.

Very clean and professional facilty. The front desk personnel were very warming and they made me feel like family from day one. Dr. Dr. Mark Yezak, B.S., D.C did my first consultation and explained the entire process in entirety and he had excellent bedside manner. I had the pleasure of being treated by multiple therapists and they made sure I followed the program that Dr. Dr. Mark Yezak, B.S., D.C and their head Physical Therapist Brett put in place. Brett was my favorite therapist, but all the staff were wonderful. Their CEO Becky even took the time to welcome me into the facility and she really understands how to run a smooth operation. I observed the way Becky interacts with her staff, and I was very impressed with her professionalism. I would recommend all my friends and family to this facility you can't go wrong.

Sandra A.

I absolutely love the staff and Dr. Dr. Mark Yezak, B.S., D.C! I have had back and shoulder pain for years and after being treated by Dr. Dr. Mark Yezak, B.S., D.C and his wonderful physical therapist I am now pain free!!! I now send all my friends and family to Houston Spine & Rehab that suffer from back pain and everyone just loves Dr. Dr. Mark Yezak, B.S., D.C and the time he spends with patients explaining the diagnosis.

Tiffany C.

I am so happy to say that I have only been coming here for less than two weeks and I have already had some tremendous relief from my headaches and neck pain. Carrie and Bianca are so easily to schedule with and very patient with people that have challenging schedules. I was honestly on the verge of giving up on finding a solution because nothing has worked for me. In the past two years I have seen two neurologist, one physical therapist and another Chiropractor. Dr. Chris Verheul, B.S., D.C. started my treatment on my very first day seeing him on from that day on, I have noticed a tremendous difference in my pain. My headaches and neck pain has gone from daily intense pain to a dull ache and maybe a twinge here and there, now my pain only gets bad when I get stressed or cold. I have not taken a pain reliever since I started my treatments here. Dr. V’s motto is “We are all family here”, that is what he told me on my first visit, he is just so wonderful. He makes you feel like you are his only patient. I can honestly say that on my visits, I feel like I am going to see old friends. Not only do I get treated, I get educated too. Whenever my massage therapist Daniel is treating me, he explains exactly what he is doing and how it will help me. I am so glad that I followed-up on a recommendation to come in, my quality of life has increased tremendously and I am thrilled about it. God Bless this place!

Molly B.

Great experience! Dr. Chris Verheul, B.S., D.C. was very thorough and made me feel like I was his top priority. I loved his treatment recommendations and he even fit me into their schedule directly after my new patient appt. with the Physical Therapist for a full evaluation. My PT, Dr. JJ, was equally impressive and after 1 hour with her I left feeling better in my neck than I have in months!

Joel H.

The care I’ve received here for numerous sports ailments and injuries has been nothing short of amazing. Not just the care physically but the friendliness of the staff and the family feel. This isn’t a business solely looking to turn customers through the door at the highest possible number without regard for their well-being. I’ve been coming here for a few years now and there has been almost zero change in a staff of around 20. That says a lot about the quality and consistency of this group. My first impression the first time i came here was that they genuinely cared and wanted me to improve and sustain my improvement. Unfortunately my sport involves a lot of wear and tear so I’ll always be a regular client but HSRC has given me tremendous tools to be able to exercise and prevent chronic issues.

Cindy M.

The office staff in the Houston office was excellent, they helped me out a lot after my ACDF surgery. I would recommend them to anyone.

Nick M.

What A Wonderful Experience... I Contacted Them Injured & They Scheduled Me To Visit Within A Few Day's, Everyone Is Friendly, Starting By Just Answering The Phone. When I Arrived I Was Greeted & Seen Within 5 Minutes. Dr. Scott Neuburger, B.S., D.C., B.S., D.C. Was Very Up Front With Me About How To Address My Somewhat Complicated Issue, He Laid Out A Plan For Recovery & Everything Is Going EXACTLY Like Planned, It's A Day By Day Plan. I've Been Having Therapy There In Their Same Office, All The Folk's There Are So Friendly & Ask How I'm Feeling Several Times During My Visit's. I've Been Refered By The Dr. To Another Facility To Help Me With My Pain Management Also & Their Networking With The Other Doctors Is A GREAT Pair! Well What Can I Say... We All Know How Important An "Office Manger's" Role Is In Today's Workforce, "Becky" Has Really Got It Together. She Makes Sure It's Running Like A Clock & She Is So Knowledgeable On Our Bodies & Communicates In A Reassuring Tone To Make People Feel Comfortable With Dealing With Their Situation. I Suggest If You Need Some Professional Services To Help With Your Body, Give Them A Call NOW! Thank You Very Much Becky!!!

Deather C.

I am so glad that I saw Dr. Shanna Lee, D.C.. She is a wonderful doctor who share care and concern. She will follow thru until you have the best treatment available and she won't forget you. She's the best doctor I've known and I know many in several fields. I hope she continues to excel as a doctor to the highest levels. Thank you Dr. Shanna Lee, D.C. for helping me to get my life on the right track. My body was full of pain from top to bottom. Your guidance and support was above and beyond. Thank you again.

Joshua A.

Dr. Shanna Lee, D.C. was caring and kind. Already recommended some of my co-workers to visit.

Luis M.

I highly recommend Houston Spine & Rehabilitation Centers at the Woodlands & Midtown locations. Beck Couch & Dr. Scott Neuburger, B.S., D.C. were super awesome & professional. I had my physical therapy visits at the Woodlands location and everyone was friendly and made me feel very welcomed.
