Spring’s arrival brings warmer weather, renewed motivation for outdoor activities, and, unfortunately, a potential increase in joint pain for athletes. Whether you’re an avid runner, a weekend warrior, or a dedicated gym-goer, springtime often coincides with a rise in both acute and chronic joint pain issues.

At Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics, our team of experienced professionals under Dr. Jeff Hall understands the specific needs of athletes and the unique challenges they face regarding joint pain. We offer a comprehensive range of non-surgical treatment options designed to get you back to your favorite activities quickly and safely.

Common Springtime Joint Pain Issues for Athletes:

• Overuse Injuries: Increased activity levels in spring can lead to overuse injuries like tendinitis (inflammation of a tendon) and bursitis (inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs cushioning joints). These conditions often cause pain, stiffness, and tenderness around the affected joint.
• Arthritis Flare-Ups: Springtime changes in barometric pressure can trigger arthritis flare-ups, particularly in individuals with pre-existing conditions. These flare-ups manifest as increased pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints.
• Weekend Warrior Syndrome: Engaging in vigorous activities after periods of inactivity can lead to sudden pain, often referred to as “weekend warrior syndrome.” This can affect various joints, including the knees, shoulders, and lower back.

Solutions for Pain-Free Spring Fitness:

At Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics, we are committed to providing athletes with personalized, non-surgical solutions for joint pain. Our comprehensive approach incorporates various services to address your specific needs:

• Regenerative Medicine: We offer innovative treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and stem cell therapy to promote tissue healing and regeneration, potentially accelerating recovery and reducing pain.
• Biomechanical Evaluation: Our team analyzes your posture, movement patterns, and muscle imbalances to identify any underlying biomechanical factors contributing to your pain. We then develop a personalized plan to address these factors and improve overall movement efficiency.
