We treat all lower and upper extremity injuries at MOST whether they occurred from work or recreation. A detailed, specific examination is performed at the injury site as well as the joints above and below the problem area to check for possible influence from surrounding areas. “Tennis elbow” and the “painful heel” are areas that are typically influenced by mechanical troubles from other areas, for instance. Finding the “what” of an injury is often relatively easy (painful elbow) but finding the “why” of an injury (“but I haven’t done anything to make it hurt.”) is more difficult but is often the MOST important part of injury treatment. We always look for the “why” at MOST.
