Why Immediate Attention is Crucial
When it comes to sports injuries, timely evaluation and treatment are essential for optimal outcomes. That’s why at Align, we have state-of-the-art x-ray machines that allow for immediate imaging of your injury. Dr. Ho-Ellsworth will perform a thorough physical examination, supplemented by advanced imaging using an on-site C-Arm or digital x-ray, to assess the extent of your injury and rule out any fractures.
Advanced Imaging for Accurate Diagnosis
In some cases, further evaluation may be necessary to fully understand the nature of your injury. Dr. Ho-Ellsworth may order an MRI or CT scan to obtain detailed images of the affected area. This information helps us create the appropriate treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, ensuring a swift and successful recovery.
The Importance of Getting Your Injury Looked At
Even if your injury seems minor, it’s crucial to seek medical attention promptly. Ignoring or downplaying symptoms can lead to complications and prolong your recovery time. Our team is here to provide expert evaluation and personalized care to get you back on your feet and back to your active lifestyle as quickly and safely as possible.
