Overview
Athletes need more than rest and ice. They need an accurate picture of what was injured, why it happened, and a structured plan to return safely without losing fitness. Sports medicine at Arbor Creek combines diagnosis, hands-on treatment and progressive training.
With graduate training in biomechanics and certification as a Performance Enhancement Specialist, Dr. Bhakta looks at how you run, throw, lift or swing, and treats the pattern as well as the injury.
Who it helps
- Sprains, strains and tendon pain
- Overuse injuries such as shin splints, tennis or golfer’s elbow and runner’s knee
- Return-to-play after injury
- Off-season conditioning and injury prevention
- Youth and masters athletes
What to expect
Evaluate
Injury exam and a sport-specific movement analysis.
Treat
Hands-on care with therapies such as Class IV laser and shock wave where appropriate.
Train
Progressive loading and sport-specific drills to rebuild capacity.
Return
Clear criteria for getting back to play, and a plan to stay there.
Sports medicine draws on Rapid Recovery Therapy™, rehabilitation and, for runners and court athletes, a Foot Levelers™ 3D scan.
