Sports Medicine at Performance Health
Our Philosophy
At Performance Health, we believe surgery should be the last resort, not the first option. Our sports medicine approach focuses on natural healing and minimally invasive treatments to reduce pain, restore function, and keep you active. By prioritizing therapies that work with the body’s own repair mechanisms, we aim to maximize results while minimizing risk.
​
Advanced Point-of-Care Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
One of the most powerful tools we use is advanced point-of-care musculoskeletal ultrasound. Unlike traditional approaches that often require separate radiology referrals, we bring diagnostic imaging and procedural guidance directly into the exam room.
Why this matters:
-
Real-time accuracy: We can see tendons, ligaments, joints, and muscle structures during your visit, allowing us to identify injuries quickly and precisely.
-
Guided precision: Expensive treatments such as PRP, hyaluronic acid (gel injections), and biologic therapies are delivered directly to the right location—maximizing effectiveness and reducing the risk of misplaced injections.
-
No delays: Avoid the extra cost, time, and inconvenience of radiology referrals when imaging can be performed at the point of care.
-
Improved safety: Ultrasound guidance decreases the risk of complications compared with blind injections.
By combining imaging and intervention in a single visit, patients benefit from a streamlined, safer, and more effective approach to care.
​
Non-Invasive and Regenerative Options
-
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Uses your own blood components to stimulate healing of joints, ligaments, and tendons.
-
Ultrasound-Guided Injections: Gel knee injections and targeted treatments performed with precision for safety and accuracy.
-
Biologic Support: Attention to nutrition, hormones, and systemic health to promote optimal recovery.
-
Movement-Based Care: Incorporating rehab and strength-building strategies to protect against reinjury.
A Patient-Centered Approach
Every athlete and active individual has different goals and needs. We provide clear information and evidence-based recommendations, but patients make the decisions. Our role is to:
-
Educate, not pressure – You’ll always understand your options before making a choice.
-
Respect your goals – Whether you want to avoid surgery, speed up recovery, or get back to sport, care is tailored to you.
-
Focus on outcomes that last – Addressing the root cause and supporting long-term performance, not just masking symptoms.
​
Why This Approach Matters
Too often, invasive procedures are recommended before conservative treatments are fully explored. Research supports that biologic therapies, guided injections, and structured rehab can:
-
Reduce reliance on pain medications
-
Lower risk of complications
-
Improve recovery times and return-to-play outcomes
