Musculoskeletal medicine is the field of diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions affecting the muscles, bones, joints, and connective tissues. Often referred to as orthopedic medicine, it can include acute injuries, overuse injuries, nerve entrapments, and degenerative conditions, such as osteoarthritis. Unlike traditional treatments that often address symptoms in isolation, at Impact Sports & Spine, musculoskeletal medicine involves a holistic approach to patient care.
We consider the intricate interplay within the body's musculoskeletal system, aiming to identify and treat the root causes of pain and dysfunction.
At Impact Sports & Spine, we elevate musculoskeletal care by putting you at the center of everything we do. Our patient-centric approach ensures that your concerns are addressed through advanced diagnostic tools and targeted treatment. Our team works with other health specialists, including physical therapists, to holistically address all aspects of your condition.
At Impact Sports & Spine, our holistic, integrated approach is grounded in understanding and treating the entire kinetic chain to restore movement and address the root cause of your conditions.
The kinetic chain refers to the interconnected system of muscles, bones, and joints in your body that work together to produce movement. For example, when your foot strikes the ground, the ankle absorbs the impact and helps stabilize your body.
An issue in one part of the kinetic chain can affect other parts, leading to pain or dysfunction elsewhere. For instance, a problem in your hip can cause knee pain, or an issue with your foot can lead to back pain.
We treat musculoskeletal conditions by evaluating the entire kinetic chain. This helps us address the root cause of your condition rather than just treating the symptoms, ensuring long-term health and wellness.
Our team manages the issues in various parts of your kinetic chain using targeted non-surgical treatments to the affected area. In doing so, we can enhance the likelihood of recovery and minimize the risk of recurrence.
At Impact Sports & Spine, you can expect patient-centric, expert care focused on a detailed understanding of the components of your kinetic chain. Our process includes a comprehensive evaluation, personalized treatment, and continual reassessment to best address your musculoskeletal health.
Our thorough evaluation process ensures that we understand the full scope of your condition. We start by listening to your concerns, understanding your medical history, and discussing your symptoms in detail. We ask about your lifestyle, physical activities, and any previous treatments you may have undergone.
We use advanced diagnostic tools, including on-site ultrasound technology, to pinpoint the exact location and nature of the problem. We may ask for additional diagnostic tests when needed.
Following a thorough assessment, we ensure our consultations are transparent about your underlying causes. We share our findings with you and explain how different factors may contribute to your pain or dysfunction. We also inform you about the traditional treatment methods available and our proposed non-surgical treatment plan.
Our team designs personalized non-surgical treatment plans that consider your condition, lifestyle, and goals. This approach ensures that you receive the most effective and targeted care possible to address the source of your symptoms.
We take a collaborative approach by working closely with other healthcare providers and ensure we approach your treatment holistically. Our seamless referral process ensures you receive integrated care across specialties, optimizing your treatment outcomes.
We regularly check in on your progress, address any new concerns, and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Our team provides detailed post-treatment guidance and recovery tips to achieve optimal outcomes.
Common musculoskeletal conditions include pain in the neck, back, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, and foot. Specific conditions may include osteoarthritis, tendinopathy, ligament injuries, fascial tears, and nerve entrapments.
