Injuries are a part of soccer – and all other sports, for that matter. The occasional collision, sharp turn, or misstep may result in pain that requires care from a physician. At Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group in Tampa, Florida, our practice is led by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Daniel Murphy and sports medicine specialist Dr. Arnold Ramirez – two board-certified physicians who specialize in helping athletes recover from injuries and return to their sport healthy and strong. In fact, our physicians are trusted to care for our area’s finest professional athletes; Dr. Murphy serves as a team physician for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New York Yankees, and Dr. Ramirez is the Head Team Physician for the Buccaneers.
Soccer injuries may result from trauma (a collision with another player) or overuse (an extended period of participation). Some of the most common soccer injuries we see at Tampa Orthopedic & Sports Medicine include:
- Knee cartilage tears
- ACL tears
- Patellar tendinitis
- Achilles tendinitis
- Shin splints
- Stress fractures
- Groin pulls
- Calf muscle strains
Our patients benefit from the conservative treatment approaches of Dr. Murphy and Dr. Ramirez, who first consider non-surgical techniques such as physical therapy (from our onsite therapists) and regenerative medicines to heal injuries and restore mobility. However, patients who require surgery to regain their athletic abilities are also in good hands, as Dr. Murphy is a highly experienced orthopedic surgeon who practices the latest advances in arthroscopic and minimally invasive techniques.
