Treatment Options
After carefully evaluate your symptoms and diagnosing your condition, your doctor will discuss your treatment
Nonsurgical Treatment - Depending on the severity of your condition, your doctor may recommend conservative treatments such as anti-inflammatory medications or steroid injections to aid in your recovery.
Physical Therapy - Physical therapists who specialize in sports injuries (link to PT page) can create a customized exercise plan to restore optimal movement and function. Physical therapy may also be required to help you prepare for, or rehabilitate after, a surgical procedure.
Surgical Procedures - When conservative treatments don’t work, surgery may be necessary. UK St. Claire’s board-certified orthopedic surgeons have extensive training in orthopedic procedures using the most minimally-invasive procedures possible.
