When to Consider Orthopedic Sports Medicine Evaluation

Common reasons to schedule an evaluation may include:
- Shoulder, knee or elbow pain that lasts more than a few days
- Pain, swelling, stiffness or instability after an injury
- Difficulty lifting, reaching, walking, throwing or staying active
- A sports injury, work-related injury, sprain, strain or fracture
- Reduced range of motion, weakness or trouble using the affected joint
