Sports injuries we treat
Many of our Mere Green patients come to us with aches and pains that have crept up over time, as well as new injuries. We regularly help with:
- Hamstring, calf and groin strains
- Knee injuries, including ACL rehab
- Ankle sprains
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Shin splints and runner’s knee
- Tennis elbow and shoulder pain
Where you are getting ready to play again, we use return-to-play testing to check you are strong enough before you step back on the pitch or court.
Elite sports medicine experience, close to Four Oaks
Chris Wilson has spent more than 20 years working in elite sports medicine, including guiding professional footballers through ACL rehabilitation. That same approach is used for every patient, whether you play competitively or simply want to stay active. Your treatment is built around a thorough assessment, with clear goals and a plan that takes you all the way back to full fitness, not just out of pain.
