The program
What this is
Sports medicine is orthopedics with a stopwatch: the goal isn't just a healed structure, it's a confident return to your sport at your level. That changes the questions — how you got hurt, what your season looks like, what your body has to tolerate — and it changes the plan.
Dr. Johnson treats the full arc: acute injuries, overuse problems, surgical reconstruction when needed, and the criteria-based testing that separates "feels fine" from "ready."
This program fits if…
- You're injured and the answer 'just stop running' isn't acceptable
- You want a return-to-play decision based on testing, not guessing
- You have a nagging overuse problem that keeps ending your training blocks
- You're a parent of a student athlete who wants growth-plate-aware care
What to expect
Your path through the program
- 01
Injury evaluation
Diagnosis plus mechanism analysis — what failed, and why it failed.
- 02
The plan
Non-surgical first when evidence supports it; surgical when it doesn't. Timeline mapped against your season honestly.
- 03
Rehabilitation & load building
Progressive programs that rebuild capacity, not just calm symptoms.
- 04
Return-to-play testing
Strength symmetry, movement quality, and sport-specific criteria gate the return — because re-injury is the outcome we're actually preventing.
