DEPARTMENTS
Sports medicine is a specialized branch of healthcare dedicated to preventing, diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating injuries related to physical activity and sports. At Brahm Chaitanya Super Speciality Hospital, we prioritize holistic care and innovative treatments tailored to athletes and active individuals. Whether you’re a professional sportsperson, a weekend warrior, or someone recovering from an injury sustained during exercise, our expertise in sports medicine ensures optimal recovery and performance enhancement.
Sports medicine focuses on helping individuals achieve peak physical performance, recover from injuries, and prevent future complications. It is not limited to professional athletes but also caters to anyone engaging in regular physical activity, including children, adolescents, and adults.
Our sports medicine team includes orthopaedic surgeons, physiotherapists, nutritionists, and rehabilitation specialists who work collaboratively to deliver comprehensive care.
Sports-related injuries can affect various parts of the body. The most common conditions include:
Sprains and Strains
Sprains occur when ligaments (the tissues connecting bones) are stretched or torn.
Strains affect muscles or tendons (the tissues connecting muscles to bones).
Symptoms include pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion.
Fractures and Dislocations
A fracture is a break in the bone, while a dislocation occurs when a bone slips out of its joint.
These injuries require immediate medical attention and precise rehabilitation.
Tendonitis
Inflammation of tendons, often caused by overuse, leading to pain and stiffness in joints such as the elbow, knee, or shoulder.
Ligament Tears (e.g., ACL Injury)
A torn ligament, like the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee, is a common sports injury requiring surgical intervention and physiotherapy.
Rotator Cuff Injuries
These affect the shoulder’s tendons and muscles, causing difficulty in lifting and rotating the arm.
Shin Splints and Stress Fractures
Common among runners, these conditions result from repetitive stress on bones and muscles of the lower leg.
Concussions
Head injuries requiring careful assessment and a stepwise approach to return to play safely.
Our advanced diagnostic tools and specialized care team ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
Accurate Diagnosis
Imaging Studies: X-rays, MRI, and CT scans help visualize internal injuries.
Physical Examination: Evaluating range of motion, strength, and stability.
Non-Surgical Treatments
Physical Therapy: Strengthening muscles and improving flexibility to support recovery.
Medication: Anti-inflammatory drugs and pain relievers.
Orthotics and Bracing: Providing support to injured areas.
Surgical Interventions
For severe cases like ligament tears or complex fractures, minimally invasive surgeries such as arthroscopy are performed by our expert surgeons.
Rehabilitation Programs
Our multidisciplinary approach combines physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and sports psychology to help patients regain confidence and physical fitness.
Nutritional Counseling

Prevention is a cornerstone of sports medicine. Here are some tips for staying injury-free:
Warm-Up and Cool Down
Stretching and light aerobic exercises before and after workouts prepare muscles for activity and reduce stiffness.
Use Proper Gear
Wear appropriate footwear and protective equipment suitable for your sport.
Follow Proper Technique
