Sports Injuries

Advanced Rheumatology Center diagnoses and treats musculoskeletal problems that are a result of sporting injuries.  The number and types of sports injuries that can be treated non-surgically has expanded dramatically over the last decade.  Many rotator cuff injuries, even including partial rotator-cuff tears can now be successfully treated by our state-of-the-art physicians.  Dr. Hirsh, Dr. Hutton and Dr. Alvarez have a special interest in the non-surgical treatment of many types of sports injuries using highly-targeted ultrasound-guided injections with steroid (cortisone), as well as with tissue-regenerative techniques such as the use of platelet rich plasma injections.  Activity-related injuries can develop into much more serious problems if they are not diagnosed and treated early and can potentially stop sports men and women continuing with their chosen sport.
