Sports medicine NYC

Introduction

Sports medicine is a field of medical practice that involves treating injuries sustained by athletes as a result of their participation in athletic events. Sports medicine is concerned with resto their proper functions, and the prevention and treatment of sports-related injuries. This is achieved through a variety of means, including conservative pain management, exercise training, and physical therapy. In sports both amateur and professional there’s been a significant increase in the number of reported injuries over the last several decades, as a result of the explosion of participation in sports more generally.

As a consequence there’s been a surge of interest in advanced physical therapy and sports medicine as a profession, with sports center physical therapy clinics emerging across the country with sophisticated techniques and equipment for treating sports injuries. Prominent among them is New York Dynamic Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Clinic (NYDNRehab), located in Manhattan. NYDNRehab is a leader in sports medicine and patient rehabilitation.

Varieties of Sports Physical Therapy

Today there are over 200,000 physical therapists trained to several specialized categories.

Orthopedic physical therapy is one of these branches. Orthopedic physical therapy is a branch of sports medicine that deals with the rehabilitation and repair of the human musculoskeletal system, which includes approximately 200 bones and 700 muscles, and their associated joints, tendons, and ligaments. The science of orthopedics tore the strength and stability of the patient’s body.

Integrated physical therapy treats patients by incorporating proven manual techniques with advances in technology. At NYDRehab the duality of this approach is exemplified by dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) and Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (C.A.R.E.N). DNS is a treatment technique in which a physician places the patient into train their bodies in an imaginary environment. It’s one of the most effective instruments available for sports rehab physical therapy.

Manual physical therapy is a form of physical therapy in which treatment is primarily administered directly, through the hands, rather than through machines. Manual physical therapy may include joint mobilization and manipulation, stretching (in which the physician physically assists in stretching the patient’s muscles), or techniques in which the patient moves his or her own body, either with the physician’s assistance or with resistance designed to train the patient in doing it unaided.

In this instance, an athlete was originally diagnosed with minor quadriceps muscle strain and was treated for four weeks, with unsatisfactory results. When he came to our clinic, the muscle was not healing, and the patients’ muscle tissue had already begun to atrophy.

Upon examination using MSUS, we discovered that he had a full muscle thickness tear that had been overlooked by his previous provider. To mitigate damage and promote healing, surgery should have been performed immediately after the injury occurred. Because of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment, the patient now has permanent damage that cannot be corrected.

The most important advantage of Ultrasound over MRI imaging is its ability to zero in on the symptomatic region and obtain imaging, with active participation and feedback from the patient. Using dynamic MSUS, we can see what happens when patients contract their muscles, something that cannot be done with MRI. From a diagnostic perspective, this interaction is invaluable.
