Soccer

It has been said that professional soccer players are the best-conditioned athletes in the world. But even the best-conditioned athletes can suffer devasting injuries. Soccer injuries are some of the most frequent in sports, due largely to the number of participants: Over 477,500 soccer-related injuries are treated in healthcare facilities throughout the country. Common soccer injuries include torn ligaments, meniscal tears, strains and sprains and stress fractures of the knees, feet, and ankles.

As a parent, the Skyview team can help you prevent your child’s soccer injury. If you are an adult player who has a soccer injury or would like prevention tips, call Skyview Orthopaedics today at (973) 300-1553.

Baseball/Softball

On the surface, the nation’s pastime may look like a sport in which it is difficult to suffer a serious injury, however, even the simple motion of swinging a bat calls upon hundreds of muscles and subjects the body to unnatural twists and turns. Pitchers are also at risk of serious injury due to the repetitive motion of throwing the ball at high speed. At Skyview Orthopaedics, we treat all baseball injuries, including ankle sprains, rotator cuffs tears, ligament injuries and more.

To avoid becoming one of the nearly 500,000 sufferers of baseball injuries, call the Skyview team today to learn injury prevention tips. And if you already have a baseball injury, Skyview has the experience and technology to get you back in the game.

Basketball

The frequent, sudden stopping, starting, turning, jumping and reaching required to play basketball can create a host of serious injuries from head to toe. Basketball injuries in the U.S. exceed those of soccer and baseball combined, numbering well over 1.6 million per year.

Skyview Orthopaedics has treated nearly every imaginable basketball injury and has helped countless patients return to this demanding sport. Our treatment programs include strategies for the repair of torn ligaments, strains and sprains, meniscal injuries, shoulder pain and rotator cuff tears and many more.
