Frequently asked questions

Do I need surgery for my sports injury?
Usually not. Nearly 90% of sports injuries can be treated non-surgically with a combination of precise diagnosis, physical therapy, image-guided injections, orthobiologics, and — when needed — minimally invasive procedures. Dr. Gruner reserves surgical referral for the minority of cases that require it.
