Sports Injury Clinic in Maui, Wailuku, HI

An athletic injury, also known as a sports injury, is any injury that occurs while engaging in sports or exercise. Athletic injuries can involve anything from sprained ligaments, strained muscles, or repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) to concussions and broken bones. Such injuries often result from such things as overtraining, inadequate warm-up before participation, poor conditioning, improper technique or form, awkward falls, or physical contact.

Some of the most common injuries that athletes experience include the following:

• Achilles’ tendon injuries
• Ankle sprains
• Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear
• Concussions
• Fractures and broken bones
• Golfer’s elbow
• Hip flexor strains
• Knee injuries, such as jumper’s knee, runner’s knee, torn ACLs, meniscus tears, and others
• Little Leaguer’s elbow
• Rotator cuff tears
• Sciatica
• Shin splints
• Shoulder dislocations
• Strained groin or hamstrings
• Tendonitis
• Tennis elbow

If you experience a sports injury, the type of doctor you should see will ultimately vary according to the extent of your injury. With that in mind, your primary care doctor will likely be able to take sufficient care of any minor sprain or strain you experience from exercise or sports. At the same time, those that are more severe may require the services of a sports medicine physician. If your sports injury requires surgery, an orthopedic surgeon is usually the best option.

At NorthShore Orthopedics, our medical director, Dr. Charles A. Soma, MD, is board-certified in orthopedic surgery and has fellowships in sports medicine. As such, he is an excellent option for any sports injury you experience that is beyond the scope of your primary care provider’s care. Dr. Soma’s particular areas of expertise for sports injuries include extreme sports medicine for surfers, windsurfers, dancers, martial artists, and endurance athletes. He is also a member of the Surfers Medical Association.
