Meet Our Specialists

The Sports Medicine team takes a careful history, examines the patient and, where relevant, uses imaging or biomechanical assessment before suggesting a treatment path. Findings are explained in plain terms, and family members are welcome to join the conversation. The recommendation of sports medicine treatment follows what each case needs, whether that is conservative management, a minimally invasive procedure or referral into the department's rehabilitation and performance services.

Why Choose CritiCare Asia Hospitals, Malad for Sports Medicine

The aim is to find what is actually causing an injury, not merely to treat the pain in front of us. Similar pain can need quite different treatment, so clinical examination carries as much weight as imaging. Conservative care is tried first where it is enough, and when a procedure is truly needed, the reasons are explained clearly before anything is decided. In practice this means:

  • Clinical evaluation supported by imaging or biomechanical assessment when the case requires it
  • Conservative treatment as the usual first step across most sports injuries
  • Arthroscopic surgery considered only after conservative treatment has not resolved the issue
  • Rehabilitation coordinated with the treating team, not run as a separate track
  • Performance and injury-risk assessment for patients who want to train more safely
  • Follow-up that continues with the same team, so recovery is tracked and recurring patterns are caught early

Frequently Asked Questions

Swelling that appears quickly after an injury, comes with severe pain, a deformed shape or an inability to bear weight, or is accompanied by numbness needs prompt assessment. Mild swelling that settles with rest can usually be watched for a short time.

Shockwave therapy delivers focused pressure waves to an injured tendon or soft tissue. It is thought to stimulate blood flow and repair in chronic problems that have not responded to rest and therapy. It is generally used after simpler measures have been tried.

Yes. Young athletes are assessed with their growth in mind, since the areas where bones grow can be vulnerable to injury and overuse. Treatment is planned around their stage of development, and parents are involved in the discussion throughout.

They can help. A brace or tape supports an injured joint, limits movements that cause pain, and gives tissue protection while it heals. They work best as part of a plan with physiotherapy, not as a long-term substitute for strengthening.

Pain easing does not mean strength, balance and movement have returned. Without rehabilitation, nearby muscles may compensate, which raises the risk of re-injury. Rehabilitation rebuilds these gradually and shows whether the area can cope with sport again.

Often a modified version is possible. Activity that avoids loading the injured area, such as work on other muscle groups, can maintain fitness. What is safe depends on the injury, so it is best confirmed at assessment.
