Diagnosing Sports Medicine Conditions
Our sports medicine specialists begin by evaluating your injury during a physical exam. They may also use imaging tests like X-rays or ultrasound, performed in-office, to pinpoint the injury's type and location. But if a CT scan or MRI is needed for a more detailed assessment, we offer high-resolution MRI to capture detailed images of your anatomy, allowing us to develop tailored surgical or treatment options for optimal care.
