Sports Medicine doctors are medical practitioners, which means they can order imaging (X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, CT), request pathology, prescribe medication, and perform therapeutic injections. At our clinic we offer cortisone and Durolane injections, typically combined with local anaesthetic and performed under live ultrasound guidance to ensure precise placement. They can also coordinate referrals to surgeons or other specialists when required.
Physiotherapy and sports medicine work hand-in-hand — many patients see both practitioners as part of an integrated treatment plan.
