In some cases, non-surgical treatment, such as rest, ultrasound, physical therapy and over-the-counter medications, is recommended. But if the symptoms persist, MOR upper extremity surgeons will work with patients to devise a proper treatment course that leads to the best outcome.

The human foot is a very complex structure with 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 ligaments and muscles working together to achieve a unique combination of stability and flexibility. Problems can arise in any of these specialized structures, especially with active adults.

Concussions can happen while participating in any sport or activity where the athlete can potentially suffer contact to the head. The highest incidence is seen in contact sports such as football, basketball, boxing, hockey, soccer, lacrosse, skiing or snowboarding. Recently, football has been receiving the most attention with regards to concussion.

For many patients, hip pain comes as a surprise. Sometimes, it even comes and goes. At first, it's tolerable, but eventually, it gets worse and begins to slow them down. Some can no longer walk the dog or join children or grandchildren at the park while others have to give up running or other athletic pursuits. Many have difficulty sleeping.

As the largest joint in the body, the knee is essential for competing in almost every sport, but it is also the most common site for injury in young athletes. Overall, knee injuries make up about 55% of all sports injuries.

An injury to the knee can cause an athlete to experience pain in many areas of the knee joint. The knee is formed by the convergence of three bones: the femur (upper leg bone), the tibia (lower leg bone) and the patella (kneecap). Two cartilage discs called menisci allow the bones to glide smoothly against each other, absorb shock and act as a cushion between the femur and the tibia. Fluid-filled sacs called bursa surround the outside of the knee. The knee joint is stabilized by muscles, tendons and four critical ligaments: the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), the medial collateral ligament (MCL), and the lateral collateral ligament (LCL).
