Muscles and Joints that JUST DON'T HEAL

Dr. Stokes is an expert in evaluating acute injuries acquired on the sports field and ski slope.

As a Sports Medicine specialist, he has an deep interest in evaluating and getting to the root cause of injuries that don't heal to help his patients achieve their best movement in day to day life and recreation.

After an in-depth history and comprehensive joint and muscle examination, he will review with you the many options available to bring resolution to your joint/muscle pain and dysfunction. Part of the diagnosis process may involve obtaining new x-rays or MRI. Dr. Stokes will design your best route to restoring movement. This treatment may include specifically designed exercises, additional physical therapy, or a recommendation for specific injections or other options.

Ultimately, appropriate biomechanical movement is necessary for healing.

Some Examples:

Ankle Pain

Were you told by the ER that your ankle would be better in two weeks? In actuality, 40-60% of all ankle sprains are still painful one year later. There is a need to recognize multiple sources of ankle pain in ankles that don't heal. Further investigation may reveal the true source of your ankle dysfunction.

Knee Pain

You may experience intermittent anterior knee/patellofemoral pain syndrome over the years. However, it may never go away until you address your hip flexors, train your hip abductors and regain appropriate range of motion of the ankle joint. Just training your quads and hamstrings is not going to provide relief.

Shoulder Pain

You been told that you have a rotator cuff tear that is the source of your unresolved shoulder pain. Surgery is not the only answer. In fact, it may not be a good answer. Specifically, the 11 muscles around your shoulder blade may not be firing correctly and need to be addressed. One source of your shoulder discomfort may actually be inflammation around the rotator cuff and not the tear. Often after close examination, shoulder laxity is revealed - setting you up for abnormal shoulder biomechanics and inflammation.
