Meet Our Specialists

The Sports Medicine team combines history-taking, physical examination and, where relevant, imaging or biomechanical assessment, so the diagnosis is reached without unnecessary steps. Findings are explained plainly. The recommendation for sports medicine treatment is based on what the case needs, not a fixed protocol: conservative management, a minimally invasive procedure, or referral into rehabilitation and performance services.

Why Choose CritiCare Asia Hospitals, Andheri East for Sports Medicine

The focus is on the cause of an injury, not only the symptom. Similar pain can call for different treatment, which is why clinical examination counts alongside imaging. Conservative care comes first where it is sufficient, and any procedure is explained before a decision is made. The approach includes:

  • Clinical evaluation, with imaging or biomechanical assessment where the case needs it
  • Conservative treatment as the first line for most sports injuries
  • Arthroscopic surgery considered only if conservative treatment has not resolved the problem
  • Rehabilitation coordinated with the treating team and planned around the patient's schedule
  • Performance and injury-risk assessment for those who want to train more safely
  • Follow-up care that tracks recovery and flags recurring patterns early

Frequently Asked Questions

It examines how a person walks or runs, looking at foot strike, joint alignment, balance between sides, and muscle use. The findings can show whether technique or weakness is overloading a joint, which then guides corrective exercise and training changes.

Not always. Early stress fractures can be invisible on a standard X-ray, which may look normal for some time. When symptoms strongly suggest one, MRI is more sensitive and can confirm it before the bone damage progresses.

Typical signs include pain along the joint line, swelling, a sense of the knee catching or locking, and difficulty fully straightening it. These often follow a twist under load. Examination and MRI help confirm the diagnosis and decide on treatment.

Total rest rarely helps for long. Tendons usually recover better with a managed level of activity and gradual, guided loading under physiotherapy supervision. Too much load delays healing, and too little weakens the tendon further.

Arthroscopy uses a small camera and fine instruments through tiny incisions, so less surrounding tissue is disturbed. Open surgery involves a larger incision and direct exposure of the joint, and is kept for cases where the damage needs it.

It assesses cardiovascular capacity, muscle strength and balance between limbs, and joint flexibility. Results show where the body is strong and where it is vulnerable, helping athletes and active people adjust training before a weakness leads to injury.

Yes. A joint that was injured earlier may wear faster, stay slightly unstable, or remain weak if it was never fully rehabilitated. Later stiffness, pain, or repeated sprains can trace back to it, and assessment can show whether treatment would help.

Painkillers can ease discomfort, but they do not repair the tissue or correct the cause. Relying on them to keep training can mask warning signs and worsen the damage. Diagnosis and a targeted plan address the injury itself.
