Injuries are inevitable in sports. Some can be addressed without visiting a sports medicine center, but it’s important to consult with a sports medicine specialist in the Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater, Florida, area if the injury is:
- Associated with persistent or worsening pain, even with regular stretching and rest. This is likely an indicator of a more serious problem that warrants professional care.
- Causing swelling. Swelling is the body’s natural response to injury, but prolonged periods of untreated inflammation can prompt muscle damage and other long-term health consequences.
- Disrupting your daily routine – No injury is too minor for professional care if it prevents you from functioning as normal.
