In the dynamic realm of sports performance, sports medicine and physical medicine play an essential role in helping athletes both recover from injuries and perform at their peak. Through a combination of scientific evaluation, movement analysis, and customized rehabilitation programs, sports medicine specialists address conditions ranging from acute injuries to long-developing overuse issues.
At Summit Health Group, our team of sports medicine and physical medicine professionals excels at identifying subtle dysfunctions that may not be immediately obvious. Early detection allows for more targeted interventions and personalized treatment plans. Our approach integrates advanced diagnostic tools, functional assessments, and tailored therapeutic exercise programs, all designed to support optimal performance and long-term musculoskeletal health.
With a focus on sustainable performance and long-term wellness, sports medicine interventions help athletes maintain a competitive edge across virtually every sport.
Modern treatment techniques have evolved to become more efficient and minimally invasive, helping reduce discomfort and shorten recovery time. These approaches may include regenerative medicine, guided injections, movement-correction therapy, and advanced rehabilitation strategies. With the use of real-time imaging and computer-assisted diagnostics, clinicians can pinpoint areas of dysfunction with remarkable precision. These advancements promote quicker healing and reduce the risk of recurring injuries.
Rehabilitation protocols are thoughtfully designed to meet each athlete’s unique needs. Physical therapists and sports medicine providers collaborate to create individualized programs that target strength, flexibility, balance, neuromuscular control, and sport-specific movement patterns. Techniques such as hydrotherapy, functional training, and neuromuscular re-education help athletes safely progress back to their prior level of competition.
Sports medicine and physical medicine encompass a wide range of therapeutic strategies designed to restore function, correct biomechanical imbalances, and enhance athletic performance. From minimally invasive procedures to regenerative therapies that promote natural healing, treatment plans are tailored to each patient’s specific challenges and goals.
Providers address not only the immediate symptoms but also underlying factors, such as movement inefficiencies, muscle imbalances, or training errors, that may contribute to recurrent injuries. This proactive approach supports long-term wellness, reduces reinjury risk, and helps athletes consistently perform at their best. Comprehensive pain management, functional rehabilitation, and personalized strengthening programs are essential components of this multifaceted care model.

Testimonials
Staff and Dr Shani were very friendly and knowledgeable. I did feel better after my treatment. I think this will be a long ongoing relationship. Thank you for such good care.
— Larry D.
Such a difference from my other experiences in care and in results from Dr Shani and his staff – my injury and situation were explained clearly. My treatments (so much more than other facilities) and prognosis were explained completely with a positive path to recovery. So glad to have found this group!
— Jack L.
Summit is knowledgeable and comprehensive and they get results. 6 months ago I could barely walk. Now I don’t even know I have a problem. They have all the latest technology and they stay current. Also, who does same day appointments these days when you really need a doctor? Well, they do. I trust summit 100% for all my healthcare needs.

Many patients have questions about the orthopedic treatment options that we offer. In this section, we aim to address many othe most frequently asked questions that we get during our sports medicine treatments.
Our sports medicine and physical medicine practice manages a full spectrum of musculoskeletal injuries and performance-related concerns. We treat acute injuries, such as sprains, strains, and fractures, as well as chronic conditions that develop from repetitive stress, overuse, or poor biomechanics. Our team addresses issues involving muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and bones, with a particular focus on sports-related conditions that require specialized rehabilitation and performance strategies.
Each sport places unique physical demands on the body. Our providers conduct detailed assessments that consider movement mechanics, sport-specific loading patterns, and injury risks. By evaluating biomechanics, muscular imbalances, and sport technique, we develop individualized care plans that address both recovery and long-term injury prevention. Whether an athlete faces repetitive strain from endurance sports or high-impact stress from contact sports, our strategies support optimal performance within their specific discipline.
Early intervention plays a critical role in preventing chronic issues. Addressing symptoms promptly helps manage pain effectively, protects joint and soft tissue health, and reduces the risk of long-term complications. Early diagnosis allows for targeted therapies that support natural healing and enhance performance longevity. These proactive measures often lead to shorter rehabilitation timelines and a faster return to competition—an essential factor for athletes at any level.
Our non-surgical sports medicine and physical medicine treatments include regenerative therapies, targeted injections, movement-based rehabilitation, and advanced soft tissue techniques. Approaches such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), guided injections, and other regenerative treatments support tissue repair without the need for surgery. Combined with customized physical therapy, nutritional support, and corrective exercise programs, these treatments help athletes recover fully while minimizing downtime and complications.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentrated sample of a patient’s own blood platelets to support healing. A small amount of blood is drawn and processed to separate and concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors. This PRP solution is then injected into the injured area to help stimulate the body’s natural repair processes. In sports medicine, PRP is often used for conditions such as tendon irritation, ligament injuries, and certain joint problems, with the goal of reducing pain and improving function over time.
Acute Sports Injuries:
Chronic Sports Injuries:
Trigger point injections are used to treat painful areas of muscle that have developed tight, irritable knots known as trigger points. These points can cause localized pain or radiating discomfort, significantly impacting performance. The injection helps relax the muscle fibers, improve circulation, and restore normal movement patterns.
Joint injections can help treat a wide range of musculoskeletal and sports-related conditions, including:
Hyalgan and Orthovisc are advanced hyaluronic acid–based injections used to treat knee osteoarthritis. These lubricating injections help supplement the joint’s natural fluid, potentially reducing pain and improving mobility for patients with degenerative joint conditions.
