Diagnostic Methods
- Clinical Examination:
Detailed medical history inquiry and musculoskeletal functional assessment.
- Imaging Studies:

- MRI: Targets soft tissue injuries such as ligaments, cartilage, and tendons.
- Ultrasound: Provides real-time visualisation of soft tissue movement and abnormalities. - Arthroscopy: It is a type of endoscopy inserted into a joint to allow for both diagnosis and treatment through direct visual inspection.

FAQ
No. Sports medicine also covers everyday activity-related injuries such as tendon strains, degenerative knee arthritis, or shoulder pain from falls.
If you have persistent pain during or after exercise, joint instability, muscle weakness, or recurring old injuries, it’s best to consult a specialist early.
Arthroscopy is minimally invasive with generally low risk and faster recovery, but a specialist’s assessment is necessary to determine its suitability.
Recent studies support PRP's effectiveness in treating certain tendon and ligament injuries, but outcomes vary and should be evaluated by a doctor.
