Some sports injuries simply require careful monitoring and passage of time. Others may heal faster if appropriate and timely intervention is initiated rather than waiting. Occasionally, some injuries will never heal well on their own and require surgical intervention for best outcomes and results. If there is any question or concern regarding your injury, please schedule an evaluation.

Recovery varies depending on your injury and treatment. Dr. Robins will develop a personalized rehabilitation plan to help you return safely and confidently.

Recovery is completely dependent on the type of surgery and intervention you require. Recovery from orthopaedic surgery can range from 2-6 weeks out to 9-12 months before cleared for return to sports and activities without restrictions.

In many cases, physical therapy plays an important role in restoring strength, flexibility, and function after orthopaedic procedures.
