About Sports Medicine Doctors

Conditions Treated by a Sports Medicine Specialist

ACL Tear

Anterior cruciate ligament injury in the knee, common in cricket, football, and kabaddi. Often needs surgical reconstruction.

Rotator Cuff Injuries

Damage to the shoulder muscles and tendons that stabilise the shoulder joint. Common in cricket bowlers, swimmers, and overhead sports.

Stress Fractures

Small cracks in bone from repetitive loading — common in runners, military personnel, and dancers.

Meniscus Tear

Torn cartilage in the knee joint — common in twisting injuries during sports. Can also occur from degeneration in older adults.

Concussion

Mild traumatic brain injury from sports — common in football, cricket (hit by ball), boxing, and contact sports.

Sports Injury Prevention Tips

  • Warm up for 5-10 minutes before exercise
  • Don't increase training intensity too quickly
  • Use proper technique and equipment
  • Rest and recover — overtraining causes injuries
  • Listen to your body — pain is a warning signal

How to Prepare for Your Sports Medicine Consultation

Before Your Visit

  • Note exactly how the injury happened — mechanism of injury is critical for diagnosis
  • Bring any X-ray or MRI reports already done
  • Describe your sport, training volume, and competition level — treatment decisions differ for recreational versus competitive athletes
  • Note what treatments you've already tried — ice, rest, physiotherapy, medications

During the Appointment

  • Wear shorts or appropriate clothing so the injured area can be examined properly
  • Be honest about your timeline expectations — rushing return increases re-injury risk
  • Discuss your sport-specific demands — a cricket bowler's shoulder needs are different from a swimmer's
  • Ask about prevention strategies alongside treatment of the current injury

After the Visit

  • Follow the rehabilitation programme strictly — shortcuts lead to re-injury
  • Don't return to sport until cleared by your sports medicine specialist
  • Invest in injury prevention — warm-up routines, protective equipment, proper technique
  • Consider sports-specific conditioning to address weaknesses that contributed to the injury

Questions to Ask Your Sports Medicine Specialist

  1. 1.Do I need surgery or can this heal with rehabilitation?
  2. 2.When can I return to my sport?
  3. 3.What can I do to prevent re-injury?
  4. 4.Should I get an MRI?
  5. 5.Is it safe to play through this pain?
  6. 6.Can you help design a training programme to avoid future injuries?
