Injury Stopping Your Sport? Let’s Get You Back Safely.

Hi, I’m Dr. Gowtham Chowdary.

What’s Causing Your Pain/Injury?
Athletes usually say:

“It happened suddenly—I felt a pop.”

“Swelling came within hours.”
“It feels unstable when I pivot.”
“Pain returns whenever I play.”
Common sports injury causes:

Ligament injuries (ACL/PCL/MCL/LCL)

Meniscus tears / cartilage injury

Shoulder instability / labral tears

Tendon overload (Achilles/patellar/rotator cuff)

Stress injuries / overuse pain

Poor movement patterns + weakness

“We identify the exact structure involved and plan recovery around your sport.”

My Approach to Sports Injuries

Early clarity: what’s injured, how severe, what can heal
If exercises, braces, medication, or injections can solve your problem — that’s where we begin.
Rehab-first mindset where safe
You should know exactly why your knee hurts and what your options are.
Return-to-sport criteria (strength, control, stability—not just “pain reduced”)
For some people, strengthening and anti-inflammatory care is enough.
Treatments I Use for Sports-injuries

Conservative Treatment First

We always start with simple, non-surgical methods that reduce pain and improve joint function.
Let’s talk about this
  • Targeted physiotherapy
  • Strength training
  • Braces & supportive devices
  • Weight & activity modification
  • Medication for inflammation
  • Joint injections (in selected cases)

When Should You Consider Surgery?

If none of these match, We avoid surgery.

If some of these match, we discuss if surgery will genuinely help.

Robotic Knee Replacement

I’m Raja Sekhar, 62. I had been struggling with knee pain for years—walking, climbing stairs, even simple routines became difficult. I tried medications, physiotherapy, and several treatments, but nothing gave lasting relief. When I met Dr. Gowtham Chowdary, he listened, explained my condition clearly, and told me why the pain kept returning. My knee was in an advanced stage of osteoarthritis, and after discussing all options, I chose robotic-assisted knee replacement for its precision and faster recovery. Today, I’m able to walk comfortably again—something I thought I had lost.”

I don’t start with surgery.
