Diagnosis and Evaluation
We begin with a thorough physical evaluation and diagnostic imaging to identify the exact cause of pain or dysfunction. Our on-site specialists collaborate to ensure an accurate diagnosis the first time.
Non-Surgical Injury Treatments
Not every injury requires surgery. At UBMD Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, we prioritize conservative care whenever possible to help you recover quickly and safely. Our non-surgical treatment options include physical therapy, hands-on manual therapy, targeted injections for pain relief and inflammation, bracing and taping for joint support, and fully customized rehabilitation plans tailored to your specific condition and athletic goals.
Surgical Injury Treatments
When surgical intervention is necessary, our board-certified orthopaedic surgeons provide precise, advanced procedures backed by decades of experience. We specialize in treating complex injuries such as ACL and MCL tears, rotator cuff injuries, meniscus damage, and fractures or joint instability — using minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to speed up recovery and reduce post-operative discomfort.

Conditions We Treat
Sports injuries can occur suddenly or develop gradually through overuse — and without proper care, even minor issues can lead to long-term limitations. At UBMD Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine in Buffalo, we treat a wide range of athletic injuries affecting muscles, ligaments, tendons, bones and joints. Whether you’re recovering from a fall, a collision or repetitive stress, our expert sports medicine providers will pinpoint the source of the problem and guide you through a personalized recovery plan.
We commonly treat sports-related conditions such as:
- Sprains and strains, often involving the ankle, wrist or hamstring, which can cause pain, swelling and reduced mobility.
- Knee ligament injuries including ACL, MCL, PCL and LCL tears that impact stability, especially during pivoting or jumping.
- Shoulder dislocations and rotator cuff tears, leading to weakness, clicking and limited overhead movement.
- Concussions, often from contact sports, requiring careful evaluation and return-to-play monitoring.
- Stress fractures, subtle cracks in the bone caused by overuse, common in runners and high-impact athletes.
- Tendonitis and overuse injuries, like tennis elbow or runner’s knee, which worsen without rest or proper biomechanics.
