Every patient and path to recovery is unique. Your care plan is always tailored to your specific needs.
Following your initial visit or procedure, your care team at Precision Orthopedics & Sports Medicine will guide you through whatever ongoing treatment is needed to alleviate pain quickly and speed your recovery. Our providers take a personalized approach to every patient’s continued care.
When indicated, your physician may order one or more diagnostic tests to better evaluate your condition and guide your treatment plan.

Non-invasive medical imaging technique used to visualize the internal structure and function of soft tissues, joints, and organs.
Used to identify bone structures and detect pathology of the skeletal system, including fractures and joint degeneration.
Electromyography is a technique for evaluating and recording the physiologic properties of muscles and nerves.
Once diagnostic imaging is ordered, schedule your appointment promptly. Bring any previous test results or films with you so your physician can compare them during your visit. Your physician will review and discuss findings with you at your follow-up appointment.
Your physician will schedule follow-up appointments to track the progress of your injury or recovery and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
Many orthopedic conditions can be effectively managed without surgery. Your provider will recommend the most appropriate non-surgical treatment for your situation.
Physical and occupational therapy are among the most effective non-surgical treatments available for orthopedic conditions. A customized therapy program can speed your recovery, improve function and range of motion, reduce pain, and strengthen the muscles supporting your injury.
Precision Orthopedics & Sports Medicine has Physical & Occupational Therapy centers in Laurel, La Plata, and Cumberland, enabling close coordination between your therapists and your treating physician.
NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) relieve pain, fever, and inflammation without the use of steroids. Common options include both over-the-counter and prescription-strength formulations. Take NSAIDs with food and follow dosing instructions carefully.
Corticosteroid Injections are used to treat pain and swelling caused by inflammation. Injections are typically administered directly at the site of inflammation and can significantly reduce pain and, in some cases, resolve the condition entirely.
If non-surgical treatments are not sufficient, your physician may recommend a surgical procedure to address your condition.
Surgical procedures are performed at our outpatient surgical facilities — Park Center Surgical Center in Laurel and Charles Regional Surgical Center in La Plata — or at area hospitals when inpatient care is required. Your surgeon will discuss which setting is most appropriate for your procedure.
Prior to any surgical procedure, your physician’s staff will walk you through the preparation process, answer your questions, and provide written pre- and post-operative instructions.
