Sport injuries
Playing sports brings numerous health benefits, but sometimes it can also lead to injuries that require professional medical care. The orthopedic department at IMC Priora specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries, using the most modern methods, cutting-edge technology and an individual approach to each patient. Our goal is to reduce pain, speed up recovery and enable a return to an active lifestyle.
The most common sports injuries encountered by athletes, recreational athletes and active people include:
–sprains and strains of ligaments
–meniscus injuries
–anterior cruciate ligament ruptures
–tendonitis
–shoulder injuries
Professional sports today require extremely high physical exertion. Frequent microtraumas increase the risk of accelerated wear and tear of joints, while recreational athletes are not exempt from the danger. Improper exercise or lack of adequate warm-up can lead to overload, cartilage damage and premature development of osteoarthritis.

Sports injuries can occur suddenly, during training or competition, or gradually, due to long-term overload. Acute injuries, such as sprains or ligament tears, most often occur with sudden changes in direction of movement or landing, while chronic injuries develop gradually – for example, tendonitis or shoulder pain due to repetitive movements. If not treated in time, even seemingly “innocent” injuries can lead to permanent limitations in mobility and reduced sports performance.
Our orthopedic team uses minimally invasive procedures, arthroscopy and modern rehabilitation methods that enable a faster return to sports activities. In addition to treating acute injuries, we also pay special attention to prevention, in order to reduce the risk of recurrence of the problem
If you experience pain, instability or have an acute injury, a timely examination by an orthopedic surgeon is essential for a successful and rapid recovery and maintaining the long-term health of your joints. IMC Priora provides top-notch orthopedic care in a comfortable and discreet environment, with maximum dedication to each patient.
