Sports Injury Treatments

Our three fellowship-trained sports medicine physicians perform several treatments at SCC Waco, including:

ACL Injuries

An ACL tear, a knee injury, is common in high-demand athletes, often caused by sudden movements, incorrect landings, or trauma, and treatment varies based on lifestyle and specific needs.

Rotator Cuff

Rotator cuff injuries, caused by trauma, repetitive movements, or aging, cause pain, swelling, and limited motion. Treatment options include conservative or surgical options, tailored to individual needs.

Achilles Tendon

The Achilles tendon, the strongest and largest in the human body, connects calf muscles to heel bone. Injuries can occur due to improper stretching, increased activity, or poor landings.

Shoulder Dislocation and Instability

Typically caused by dislocation or repetitive strain (common among athletes), we individualize our treatment plan to your needs.

Stress Fractures

Stress fractures occur when muscles become fatigued, transferring stress overload to the bone, causing a tiny crack. Treatment plans are tailored to individual athlete needs.
