Non-Surgical Sports Injury Treatments

Not every injury needs surgery. We prioritize conservative care whenever possible.

Non-Surgical Options

The Tenex Procedure

For chronic tendon pain, GSOS offers the Tenex Procedure – a minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided treatment that removes damaged tissue without open surgery. It helps reduce pain, restore strength, and shorten recovery time.

Advanced Surgical Options

When surgery is necessary, our board-certified orthopedic surgeons use advanced, minimally invasive techniques to deliver the best outcomes.

Common Procedures

  • Arthroscopic Surgery – repair joints, ligaments, or cartilage
  • Ligament Reconstruction – restore stability after ACL or other ligament tears
  • Fracture Repair – precise alignment for optimal bone healing
  • Cartilage Restoration – regenerative options to preserve joint function

From pre-op planning to post-op rehab, our team supports you through every step of recovery.

Injury Prevention

Staying healthy is just as important as recovery. GSOS offers education and screening programs to help athletes prevent injuries before they happen.

Prevention Programs:

  • Movement screenings to assess risk factors
  • Training and conditioning guidance
  • Equipment checks for proper fit and safety
  • Warm-up and cool-down education

A proactive approach keeps athletes performing at their best and helps prevent setbacks.
