How Do You Know If a Sports Injury Needs Imaging First?
Which sports injury signs point to imaging before rehab: no weight bearing, pain over the bone, numbness. When waiting a day or two is fine, and when it is not.

Sound familiar?
When an injury keeps you off the course or the trail.
A sprained ankle, a strained hamstring or a sore tendon can keep you from the activities you love, long after the first sharp pain fades.
Guided rehab is part of the rehab and recovery care at our sports medicine clinic. It rebuilds strength and control step by step.
The short answer
How does sports injury rehabilitation work?
Sports injury rehabilitation is a guided exercise program that helps an injured area regain strength, control and range of motion before you return to activity. At Advanced Pain Solutions it begins with a functional evaluation that sets a baseline. Then come coached exercises in the clinic and exercises to do at home.
How it works
Load in small steps
Exercises load the injured area a little at a time.
Built in stages
Strength, control and range of motion come back in steps.
Rehab before return
The program comes before your return to your sport or activity.
Who it may suit
- Sprains and strains
- Overuse injuries such as tendinitis
- Weakness or stiffness after an injury
- Getting ready to return to your sport
Who should not have it
- Pain that is not coming from a muscle, tendon or joint
- An injury a surgeon needs to repair first
- A plan with no time for exercises between visits
Your baseline from the first evaluation gives later sessions something to measure against.

Compare your options
How guided rehab compares.
Your evaluation decides which option fits your injury.
| Option | What it involves | Often considered when | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rest alone | Stopping the activity until it feels better | A new, mild strain | Rest alone does not rebuild strength |
| Guided rehab | Coached exercises in the clinic and at home | Strength and control need rebuilding | Coached by our medical assistants |
| Chiropractic adjustments | A controlled, hands-on force to one joint at a time | Stiff, irritated spinal joints | Offered in the same clinic |
| Focused shockwave therapy | Acoustic pulses from a handheld applicator | Tendon pain that lingers | No incisions, needles or anesthesia |
| Surgery | An operation to repair the injured tissue | Tears and injuries other care cannot fix | We perform no surgery |

This place has been great in helping with my whole body pain and giving me a way to build my muscles and stretch properly at home for continued relief even after my therapy was done!
...Victoria makes you do the exercises correctly. They build a personal recovery plan that evolves as you get healthier, taking into account any issues you might have.....
Totally satisfied with my treatment at Advanced Pain Solutions. Was a pretty good workout for the past few months but carried thru it and the results were worth it. The Doctors and associates were awesome and always friendly. Thanks so much for all you’ve done for me.
Individual results vary.

Questions
When to be seen, and what to wear to rehab.
Still unsure? Call (541) 923-6024, Monday to Thursday.
When should a sports injury be seen right away?
Get medical care first, before any rehab, for sudden, severe pain or a lot of swelling or bruising. The same goes for a leg, knee, ankle or foot you cannot put weight on.
Seek care right away, too, for a joint that will not move normally or extreme weakness in an arm or leg. A bone or joint that looks out of place needs the same.
Can I treat a minor sports injury at home first?
Often, yes. The National Institutes of Health notes that many sports injuries can be treated at home. The steps are rest, ice, compression and raising the injured part, known as RICE.
Who supervises my rehab sessions?
Rehab is supervised by the clinic's medical staff or medical assistants, depending on the joint, muscle or therapy involved.
Why is rehab recommended before going back to my sport?
An injured area can lose strength and control, even after the pain eases. A rehab program with exercise rebuilds them before the full load of your sport comes back.
What is the difference between an acute and an overuse injury?
An acute injury happens suddenly, such as a fall, a blow or a twisted joint. An overuse injury builds slowly from the same motion done over and over, like tendinitis or a stress fracture.
Both can need rehab, and your functional evaluation helps show what the area needs now.
What raises the risk of a sports injury?
The National Institutes of Health lists several risk factors. They include not using the correct exercise technique, training too often or for too long, and raising the intensity too quickly.
Playing the same sport all year, running or jumping on hard surfaces and shoes without enough support add risk. So does a prior injury.
What should I wear to a rehab session?
Wear loose, comfortable clothes you can move in, and athletic shoes. Shorts help when we work on a knee or hip, and a tank top helps for a shoulder. Bring any brace you already use, and any exercises another clinic gave you.
