Acute Injury in Holladay
If you have an acute injury it is important to visit a physical therapist. In most cases, you can get an evaluation and treatment in the same visit. The faster we can get to work on your new injury, the faster you are going to heal and be back at your sport. In your first visit to Canyon Sports Therapy you may also receive a prescription for imaging, which will help you save a visit to the MD. If you need further help, we can refer you to other providers as needed.
Common injuries in athletes to the musculoskeletal system can include fractures, ACL injury, shoulder dislocation, strain or sprain from an awkward landing. Chronic injuries can also be caused by repeated overuse of the muscle or joints, Canyon Sports Therapy is the first stop for acute injury treatment and a speedy recovery.
Our approach to acute injury treatment starts with analysis of your condition. Anyone can suffer a sports injury, for example, should you have a knee injury we would thoroughly evaluate the state of the muscles, ligaments and bones involved; we may even use one of our KT1000 knee arthrometers to evaluate the state of your ACL and PCL. Once we feel that your condition is understood we initiate immediate physical therapy to control swelling. It is vital to us that you completely understand your injury and are instructed in the exact steps needed to optimize your healing. If it is determined that your injury deserves further studies such as X-Rays, CT scans or an MRI we can quickly expedite getting you assessed, usually on the same day. Canyon Sports Therapy has over 15 years of being on the front line of orthopedic rehabilitation. We can also help direct you to an ideal MD choice for your specific condition.
