Do I have to stop playing my sport during treatment?
In most cases, no. We believe in keeping athletes training during rehabilitation when safe. About 90% of our sports injury cases can continue modified training while healing. We’ll work with you to adjust your training appropriately while addressing the injury.
What types of athletes do you work with?
We work with athletes of all ages and sports, including runners, CrossFitters, pickleballers, soccer players, football players, basketball players, gymnasts, and golfers. We treat both recreational and competitive athletes.
What common sports injuries do you treat?
As a sports injury doctor in Columbus, Ohio, Dr. Andrew Junak treats a wide range of injuries, including rotator cuff impingement, golfer’s elbow, pulled hamstrings, plantar fasciitis, back pain, herniated discs, meniscus tears, runner’s knee, ankle sprains, and general muscle strains.
How does continuing to train benefit my recovery?
Maintaining modified training helps preserve your conditioning and cardiovascular endurance. This approach means you won’t have to spend extra time rebuilding fitness once your injury heals, and you can maintain progress toward your athletic goals.

Treatment length varies based on your specific injury and goals. We work closely with you to establish realistic timelines that align with your training and competition schedule, focusing on both immediate recovery and long-term performance.
