SPORTS INJURY FAQ

Do you work with youth and high school athletes?

Yes. Dr. Minlionica provides care to athletes from local organizations including Tottenville High School and FC Chaos Boxing Gym, and treats young athletes at the clinic.

Do I need a referral?

No referral is needed to book an evaluation. We coordinate with your physician, surgeon or athletic trainer when it helps your care.

Can you help me keep training during rehab?

That is the goal. We modify rather than stop training whenever it is safe, so you keep fitness and return faster.

How do you decide when I can return to play?

We use strength, movement and sport-specific tests, not only time since injury. Learn more about returning to sports after an injury.
