Sports Medicine Consult
Sports Medicine is the treatment of injuries of the muscular and skeletal system and focuses on all movement injuries, not just sport injuries. From concussions to closed fractures to sprains and strains and even arthritis, our team is trained to help.
Injury Diagnosis
Instead of just treating symptoms, we utilize integrative medicine, looking at the whole person and finding the root causes, leading to a more complete and specific diagnosis.
Treatment Options
Dr. Abrahamson approaches sports injuries first from a joint health perspective, then applies a variety of treatments from bracing, casting and splinting to injections in order to help you get better.

Platelet-rich Plasma Injection
Overview
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. Like bone marrow, PRP is a powerful and natural therapy that has been used for decades to help heal tissue in both animals and humans. Platelets contain a vast array of growth factors that help to decrease inflammation and to bring in new blood vessels to the injured area to help it heal. PRP is typically used for painful tendon and ligament injuries and arthritic joints.
When healing has stalled, Platelet-Rich Plasma has been shown to help initiate tissue repair. It is able to activate tendon cells to heal, bone to regenerate, and stimulate new blood vessel development and the wound healing process. PRP treatment has even been shown to help normalize the lining of joints, helping them to return to a more youthful, less inflamed, state.
Ultrasound Guided Injections
Ultrasound-guided injections are a precise and minimally invasive technique used to deliver medication directly to targeted areas such as joints, tendons, or muscles. By using real-time ultrasound imaging, our doctors can visualize the exact location of the injury and guide the needle with accuracy, enhancing treatment effectiveness and reducing the risk of complications.
Hyaluronic Acid Injections
Hyaluronic acid injections relieve joint pain by restoring lubrication and cushioning in joints. These injections reduce pain, improve mobility, and can offer longer-lasting relief.
Prolotherapy Injections
Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection treatment that stimulates the body’s healing response in damaged ligaments, tendons, or joints. It promotes tissue repair and pain relief by triggering mild inflammation that encourages new collagen growth and strengthening of connective tissues.
Steroid Injections
Ultrasound-guided steroid injections involve using real-time imaging to precisely deliver corticosteroid medication into inflamed joints, tendons, or soft tissues, enhancing accuracy improves pain relief and mobility by targeting the exact area of inflammation with minimal discomfort and faster recovery times.
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate Injection
Overview
Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) injection is a regenerative therapy that uses a patient's own bone marrow to promote healing in damaged tissues, particularly within the musculoskeletal system.
Benefits
A promising regenerative treatment, the use of a patient's own stem cells and growth factors to accelerate healing. Benefits include reduced inflammation, improved tissue repair, and potentially avoiding surgery for conditions like osteoarthritis or tendon injuries.
