Prevention of Athletic Injuries

4 Tips to Keep you Safe While Active

Sometimes the best way to treat an injury is to avoid it all together.  Dr. Morton is a firm believer that his athletes should take care of themselves before, during and after physical activity. This approach helps patients maintain an athletic lifestyle for a long time.  Some helpful tips include:

  • Stay hydrated – dehydration can lead to heat cramps, fatigue and injury
  • Take a break – Resting allows time for recovery and enough energy to reach your goals
  • Warm-up – Warming up before exercise gives your muscles and tendons the opportunity to get going and prevents tears
  • Increase activity gradually – Rushing into an activity too soon is a recipe for injury.  Slowly develop your strength and endurance.

Dr. Morton’s Approach

Dr. Morton takes a cooperative, patient-focused approach to determining how to proceed with your treatment. Not all patients do well with surgery and not all patients do well when trying to avoid surgery.  During your history and exam, Dr. Morton will help you determine the best course of action. He will discuss your preferences for  how we should proceed – whether you are looking for nonoperative or operative treatment.

Just like on the field, sports medicine requires a team approach. Dr. Morton works with athletic trainers, physical therapists, your personal physician and other orthopedic surgeons to help you get the best outcome you can achieve.
