Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need surgery for my sports injury?
Many sports injuries heal with conservative treatment including rest, physical therapy, bracing, and injections. Dr. Manouel always explores non-surgical options first and recommends surgery only when necessary for the best outcome.
What is PRP therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses your own blood, concentrated to contain healing growth factors, and injects it into the injured area to accelerate tissue repair. It is effective for tendinitis, partial tears, and chronic joint pain.
How soon can I return to sports after treatment?
Return timelines depend on the injury and treatment. Minor injuries may allow return in weeks, while surgical recovery can take months. Dr. Manouel will provide a clear timeline and structured return-to-sport program.
Do you treat non-athletes?
Absolutely. Sports medicine techniques benefit anyone with musculoskeletal injuries or pain — not just athletes. If you have a sprain, strain, or joint injury from daily activities, our sports medicine approach can help.
