Sports Medicine
Sports Medicine at SilverOak Health provides expert non-operative and operative management of sports and exercise-related injuries in athletes and physically active individuals of all levels — from recreational exercisers to elite professionals. Our sports medicine physicians, orthopaedic surgeons, physiotherapists, and performance coaches work collaboratively to deliver rapid diagnosis, evidence-based treatment, and safe, targeted return to sport.
Non-operative sports medicine services include clinical assessment and diagnosis of acute and overuse injuries, ultrasound-guided procedures (corticosteroid, platelet-rich plasma, and hyaluronic acid injections), exercise prescription for injury rehabilitation and prevention, biomechanical assessment and gait analysis, sports nutrition consultation, and concussion management following the SCAT5 graded return-to-play protocol. Our sports cardiologist performs pre-participation cardiovascular screening and ECG interpretation for athletes, identifying conditions that require restriction from sport or treatment before return.
Surgical sports medicine focuses on arthroscopic and minimally invasive procedures including ACL reconstruction, meniscal repair and partial meniscectomy, rotator cuff repair, shoulder stabilisation for instability, ankle ligament reconstruction, and chondral defect treatment using microfracture, autologous chondrocyte implantation, or osteochondral autograft. Post-operative rehabilitation follows validated criteria-based return-to-sport protocols, ensuring athletes have objective evidence of strength, power, and movement quality before resuming full competition. Our injury prevention programme uses neuromuscular training and load management principles to reduce reinjury risk.
