Cooler weather brings activities like running, hiking, and recreational sports. These can increase the risk of muscle strain or joint irritation if your body is not properly warmed up.

To prevent injury, begin with light movement, stretch gently before and after activity, and wear supportive footwear designed for your sport. Small adjustments can help protect your knees, ankles, and shoulders all season long.

If pain becomes persistent or limits movement, Dr. Brotherton can help identify the cause and guide you toward recovery. ❄️

Soft tissue injuries like sprains, strains, and tendon irritation are common during increased activity. These injuries often happen when muscles are tight or when repetitive movement places too much stress on a joint.

Early care makes a difference. Resting the area, applying ice, and avoiding painful movements can support healing. If swelling or pain continues, it may signal a deeper injury that requires evaluation.

Dr. Brotherton provides evidence based treatment to help you recover safely and return to the activities you enjoy. ✨

“Extremely professional and efficient medical facility. My wife was experiencing severe neck pain, and Dr. Brotherton took the time to understand her symptoms and provide a thoughtful treatment plan. The initial medication helped relieve the pain, and when long term side effects became a concern, he administered a targeted injection that resolved her discomfort completely. She has been pain free since. We are very grateful for his care and highly recommend Orthopedic Specialists.”

As a Sports Medicine Orthopedic Specialist, Dr. Brotherton treats athletes who experience ligament injuries to the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and MCL (medial collateral ligament) — two key stabilizers of the knee.

Here’s what to know:
🦵 ACL injuries often result from quick pivots or awkward landings. A “pop,” swelling, and instability are common.
🩹 MCL injuries occur from a blow to the outer knee, causing pain and stiffness along the inner side.

Treatment & Recovery:
• Mild sprains may heal with bracing & physical therapy
• Severe tears often require surgical reconstruction
• Early evaluation ensures a safer return to sport

Dr. Brotherton combines advanced orthopedic techniques with personalized rehab strategies to help athletes recover stronger and prevent reinjury.
