Our Approach to Athlete Rehabilitation

We recognize that each athlete’s injury and recovery process is unique. Therefore, our team employs a multidisciplinary approach to pain management, integrating various treatments to address the specific needs of our patients.

Our services include:

• Spinal Injections: Epidural steroid injections and facet joint blocks to alleviate pain from nerve compression.

• Radiofrequency Ablation: A minimally invasive procedure to disrupt nerve function and provide long-term pain relief.

• Spinal Cord Stimulation: Implantable devices that modulate pain signals before they reach the brain.

• Via Disc Procedure: A treatment for disc-related pain, particularly effective for athletes with herniated discs.

• Knee Viscosupplement Injections: Injections that provide lubrication to the knee joint, reducing pain and improving mobility.

These treatments are designed to address the root causes of pain, facilitating a quicker and more effective recovery.

Success Stories: Athletes Who Overcame Pain

To illustrate the effectiveness of our treatments, here are two inspiring stories of athletes who regained their strength and mobility:

1. Jim’s Journey Back to the Court

Jim, a professional basketball player, suffered a severe knee injury during a high-stakes game. The injury left him with ligament damage and intense pain, making it difficult for him to get back on the court. After visiting San Antonio Pain Consultants, Jim underwent a series of knee viscosupplement injections and physical therapy. Within weeks, Jim noticed significant improvements in his mobility and strength. Thanks to the targeted care provided at our clinic, Jim was able to return to competitive play and lead his team to the playoffs. His story is a testament to the power of dedicated rehabilitation and effective pain management.

2. Martin’s Comeback After Football Injury

Martin, an avid football player, experienced a recurring ankle injury that significantly hindered his performance. After months of dealing with pain, he turned to San Antonio Pain Consultants for help. Our team developed a customized treatment plan that included spinal injections and a tailored physical therapy regimen. With the right combination of treatments, Martin was able to regain full mobility in his ankle and return to the football field. Today, he is not only pain-free but also back to playing at a higher level than before the injury.
