Welcome to Sports Medicine
We focus on taking care of athletes of all ages as well as those who don’t consider themselves to be athletes. Our goal is to keep you active in whatever you enjoy so you can get the most out of living a happy life. Treatments for shoulders and knees are the most common as these joints experience pains due to injury or natural aging.
Those seeking help with physical fitness and the treatment or prevention of injuries related to the body’s activates should not wait to seek medical support. Our team focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of the body.
In addition, Dr. Purnell can offer Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections which have emerged as a promising treatment option for a variety of conditions across different fields, including sports medicine, surgery, and even cosmetic procedures. Derived from your own blood, PRP involves concentrating platelets, which are crucial for clotting and healing, to enhance the body’s natural healing process. Athletes and healthcare professionals are increasingly turning to PRP for treating injuries such as torn tendons, tendinitis, muscle injuries, and joint pain associated with arthritis. In addition to sports injuries, PRP is also utilized post-surgery to aid in wound healing, and some doctors employ it cosmetically to reduce signs of aging, like wrinkles. With its wide range of applications, PRP injections offer an innovative and personalized approach to healing that leverages the regenerative properties already present in the body.
