Sports Medicine Services in Houston, TX

High-impact activities can take a toll on the body’s most-used joints. From the shoulders and elbows to the hips and knees, sports injuries require timely, expert care to avoid long-term pain and mobility issues. At OccuHealth Surgery Center, we provide private, same-day access to orthopedic specialists for the diagnosis and treatment of acute and overuse sports-related injuries.

Whether you’ve experienced a traumatic injury during competition or developed chronic pain over time, we are here to support your recovery with focused evaluation, imaging, and surgical treatment when needed. Our team treats injuries to both major and smaller joints with the same level of precision, helping you return to activity safely and efficiently.

Types of sports injuries we treat:

The meniscus is a cartilage structure in the knee that cushions and stabilizes the joint. Meniscus tears often occur during twisting or pivoting movements and may cause swelling, stiffness, or a catching sensation in the knee.

We assess the severity of the tear through imaging and physical examination. When surgical repair is necessary, our team utilizes minimally invasive techniques to preserve as much cartilage as possible and promote long-term joint health. Post-operative rehabilitation is tailored to restore strength, stability, and function.

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. Tears can result from repetitive overhead motion or sudden injury, leading to shoulder weakness, pain, and limited range of motion.

If you’re experiencing persistent shoulder pain or loss of strength, we evaluate the extent of the injury and determine whether surgical repair is appropriate. Our goal is to restore shoulder function and prevent further joint degeneration.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) stabilizes the knee and is commonly injured during sports that involve sprinting, jumping, or sudden stops. A torn ACL may result in pain, swelling, instability, and difficulty bearing weight.

We provide prompt imaging and diagnosis to confirm the injury. When surgery is needed, ACL reconstruction involves replacing the torn ligament with a graft to restore stability. Early intervention helps protect surrounding cartilage and supports a successful return to sport.

Clavicle (collarbone) fractures are common in contact sports and typically occur from falls or direct impact. Symptoms include localized pain, swelling, and shoulder immobility.

We assess the fracture and determine whether conservative management or surgical fixation is needed. When surgery is required, a plate and screws are used to align the bone and support healing. Our priority is to reduce discomfort and restore upper body function as efficiently as possible.

The labrum is a ring of cartilage that surrounds the shoulder or hip socket, helping stabilize the joint. Tears can occur from dislocation, overuse, or trauma, and often cause pain, clicking, or joint instability.

We evaluate the joint using imaging and range of motion testing. If the tear is significant, arthroscopic surgery may be performed to reattach or trim the damaged tissue. Our team provides post-operative care and rehabilitation planning to restore joint integrity and function.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, at OccuHealth, we specialize in the treatment of acute trauma orthopedic injuries. As a result, patients are welcome to schedule an appointment directly at our Orthopedic Walk-In Clinic without the need for a referral.

For your first consultation, please bring the following items:

  • Your driver’s license or state-issued identification card.
  • Radiology images (e.g., MRI, CT scans) on a disk from the facility where your tests were completed, along with the corresponding reports or readings.
  • Your insurance card or employer contact information.

We provide 24-hour access to a point of contact for any concerns you may have. You will be given the necessary contact details following your treatment.

Non-surgical treatment options may include rest, medications (such as analgesics and antibiotics), injections, and physical or occupational therapy. Your doctor will discuss the most appropriate options based on your specific condition.

It is normal to experience some bleeding following surgery. Keep your bandage clean and dry, and DO NOT remove it until instructed by our surgeon or until your follow-up visit. You may also experience numbness and tingling in your fingers or hand as the anesthesia wears off (especially with local anesthesia or blocks).
For pain management, medication is most effective when taken before severe pain sets in, so it’s important not to wait until the pain becomes intense to take it.

Achieving full range of motion, strength, and flexibility after surgery typically takes time. Pre-operative exercise, education, and post-operative physical therapy programs are key to ensuring you’re fully prepared for surgery and to maximize your recovery afterward.

If you experience unexpected symptoms, such as increased pain, swelling, or signs of infection, contact our office immediately. We are available to offer guidance or address any concerns to ensure a smooth recovery process.
