Sports medicine is the non-surgical care of injuries to muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. It is not only for athletes. Weekend golfers, runners, gym-goers, dancers and people with physical jobs all get sports injuries.
At the Institute of Regenerative Orthopedics & Sports Medicine (IROSM), Dr. Jorge Gonzalez, MD at IROSM in Fort Lauderdale uses an ultrasound scan in the office to find the injury. He then builds a plan that may include exercises, guided injections, or treatments made from your own blood or cells.

A sports medicine doctor finds and treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints without surgery. That includes sprains, strains, tendon pain, torn ligaments and cartilage, and joint pain or arthritis in active people. The goal is simple: find the real cause of your pain, treat it, and help you get back to your sport, job or daily activities safely.
Dr. Gonzalez is a triple board-certified sports medicine doctor. He completed advanced (fellowship) training at the Andrews Institute. At IROSM in Fort Lauderdale he treats athletes and adults who simply want to stay active. If surgery is the better fit, he will explain why and help with a referral to an orthopedic surgeon.

Many sports injuries, such as partial tendon tears, muscle tears and fluid around a joint, can be seen on ultrasound during your visit. Dr. Gonzalez scans the painful area, compares it with the other side, and can often show you the injury on the screen. Ultrasound also lets him watch the tissue move, which an MRI cannot do.
The video at the top of this page shows a calf muscle tear (tennis leg) found on ultrasound in the office. Learn more about ultrasound for orthopedics and sports medicine.
Treatment is matched to the injury, your sport and your goals. Options at IROSM in Fort Lauderdale may include:
Not every treatment is right for every injury, and results vary. Dr. Gonzalez will tell you at your visit which options fit you.
Athletes often want to keep training while an injury settles. Dr. Gonzalez works with athletes and their trainers on what to change, what to keep, and when to step back up. In this short video, a professional football player talks about adding MLS laser therapy to his off-season recovery routine at IROSM. Individual results vary.
