The sports industry has flourished in recent years, due to technology growing at a pace that races on faster than ever before. As the sports industry and related technologies have improved and become more and more popular, the injury rate has skyrocketed, leading to another field that has also seen major improvements: sports medicine.
Obviously you cannot participate in sports unless you are in decent health. Having a sprained ankle or plantar fasciitis won’t help you out at all
when it comes to that big game—or even just walking up your stairs! Because of the great need for orthopedics and sport medicine, a lot of pharmaceutical and medical researchers have contributed to their improvement. The fields deal with both prevention and cures, giving you what you need, when you need it, so that you can perform to the best of your ability.
If you have stayed away from sports due to a fear of injury, you need to change your approach. Even if you had an injury in the past, your options are endless. Plancher Orthopedics & Sport Medicine can help you through various revolutionary services and orthopedic treatments, both for sportsmen and normal people.
General Orthopedics
Even if you don’t have a sports energy, we can help you! Do you suffer from arthritis? Do you have pain, swelling, or redness in your feet? If so, we can help you treat these injuries and possible infections. You don’t need to be sporty in order to hurt—or take care of—your body.
Sports Services
If you’re playing sports, you are much more likely to have a serious foot or bodily injury. Our sports-related services include diagnosis and treatment of the following injured areas:
- Knees
- Shoulders
- Hipbones
- Elbows
- Ankles
- Other joints
Because we want everyone to enjoy the full benefit of physical activities as soon as possible (we don’t want to keep you away from your personal sport of choice!), the recovery time is based on each individual, your injury, and lifestyle. We want you back on your feet, but we don’t want you to reinjure yourself either!
Come to Plancher Orthopedics & Sports Medicine and enjoy the strength of life!
