Sports Medicine & non-surgical Orthopedics

You don’t have to be an athlete to need sports medicine.  Whether you have a joint, tendon, ligament, muscle, nerve, or other injury due to an accident during physical activity, the physicians at FoRM Health in Portland, Oregon can help.  You’ll find a mix of traditional and specialty, non-surgical orthopedic (referring to bones, muscles, and related soft tissues) therapies aimed at helping the body to heal and recover.

For many conditions, your FoRM practitioner may choose manual (hands on) therapies initially, before proceeding to advanced techniques for more stubborn conditions.   If you suffer from chronic, longstanding injuries or arthritis, however, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections, MFAT or shockwave are particularly effective and may be chosen right away.  These therapies help stimulate (or re-stimulate) your body’s healing response.   FoRM also utilizes  the advantage of ultrasound guidance to ensure safe and proper administration of solutions being injected.

Of course, some conditions require surgical orthopedic intervention. If this is deemed the case during your assessment, or at any time during your care, we are happy to coordinate referrals and play a supportive role in both pre- and post-surgical rehab, as needed.

What is Sports Medicine?

Sports medicine focuses on treating injuries sustained during exercise or physical activity. Although professional and recreational athletes tend to encounter the most sports injuries, you can suffer the same injuries during daily activities, such as on a neighborhood walk or working in the garden.

Some common sports medicine injuries include:

  • Sprains and Strains
  • Shin splints
  • Meniscal tears
  • Hip and Shoulder Labral tears
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Rotator cuff tears
  • Tennis and Golfers’ elbow
  • Disc bulges and herniations

What are other orthopedic or musculoskeletal conditions treated?

Some injuries listed above may not result from a specific injury, but instead are more degenerative in nature, meaning they develop over time from a number of factors.  Other conditions you may not develop immediately, but instead result from poor posture or movement patterns over time leading to stress on your soft tissues and nerves resulting in pain.  Examples of these conditions include:

  • Degenerative Joint conditions including disc disease, meniscus tears, and arthritis
  • Tendinosis and Tendinitis
  • Bursitis
  • Carpal Tunnel
  • Sciatica
  • Nerve entrapments
  • Tension headaches
  • TMJ issues
  • Motor Vehicle Accident sequelae
  • Chronic loose ligaments (aka ligament laxity, hypermobility syndrome, Ehlers Danlos)

How are sports and non-surgical orthopedic injuries treated?

Your first visit is a full hour to get a complete history, detailed exam, order or perform imaging as necessary, and discuss a treatment plan.  Our goal is both alleviating your pain and helping your body heal itself. Some treatment options include:

  • Dry needling
  • Sports Chiropractic
  • Physical Therapy
  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections
  • MFAT Cell Therapy (Fat stem cell injections)
  • Prolotherapy
  • Focused Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
  • Sports Acupuncture
  • Myofascial release
  • Kinesio taping
  • Cupping, GuaSha, IASTM
  • Ultrasound-guided nerve hydrodissection
  • Neural therapy
  • Perineural Injection Therapy (aka Neural Prolo)
  • Prolozone
  • Steroid, micro-steriod, or hyaluronic acid injections
  • Nutritional and Supplemental, as needed

Beyond injections and localized therapies, FoRM Health in Portland, Oregon also offers comprehensive support to optimize healing time.  Our team aims to identify and treat any underlying systemic problems that may be delaying your recovery (i.e. hormones, nutrition, etc).

The FoRM Health approach to sports medicine emphasizes nonsurgical treatments that minimize medication so you can recover fully, starting at the source of the injury.  You’ll learn the details of each option to empower you to make an informed decision about your treatment path.  For help with your injury, book an appointment online or by phone today.

WHY I LOVE PRP FOR ANTI-AGING

Regain Your Confidence with PRF Hair Restoration at FoRM Health

WANT TO HEAL YOUR SKIN…FEED YOUR GUT!

We Love Our Patients

“I have loved participating in the Skin Rehab Program! I received 3 treatments per month customized to meet my skin care needs and goals.  With consistent treatments and home care, my skin is smoother, much more even skin tone (fewer dark spots and redness), firmer, and glows.  It just looks so much healthier!  I’m so happy with the results!”

–Look Better Member

“I am fairly new to acupuncture and dry needling and I cannot tell you how lucky I feel to have found THE Trusted Authority when it comes to these modalities. The experience at FoRM has been consistently amazing from beginning to end. I have not been able to stop sharing my experience and the benefits of going to see Dr. Minarik and his team with everybody that I know. They truly listen, are incredibly knowledgeable, candid and they set you up for longtime success/relief.”

–Sports Acupuncture Patient

Over the years, I have had many massages but Aric Naber is the best. He is well versed in muscular structure, intuitive as to how to address any issues and is well respected by athletes that have gone to him for either maintenance or to work through an injury. He is attentive to your concerns and trouble areas and excellent at communicating what he is addressing and why. I would highly recommend him.

–Therapeutic massage client

So thankful for (Dr.) Paul Molina, his help every week has helped keep me together as a professional athlete. Very professional and overall a great person and friend. Would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone.

–Professional Athlete

“Mary Jane is incredible. I arrive to the massage in pain and leave in a healed state, both physically and mentally. She is professional, knowledgeable and thorough. I would go daily if that were possible. Thank you Mary Jane!”

–Massage therapy patient

Dr Kai Herman and her staff are amazing!  I have been under Dr Herman’s naturopathic care for years. I fully trust Dr Herman with my medical needs and when I heard she was doing PRP facials, I knew I could also trust her with my face/skin care needs. The procedure itself was seamless and done in a comfortable, relaxed setting.  The downtime was minimal.  The results were impressive.  I noticed tighter, firmer skin and an improved complexion.  This will definitely be part of my anti-aging skin care routine!

–PRP Skin Rejuvenation Patient

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine used to be a place I would turn when my primary care provider was unable to address my concerns. After seeing Natasha, I now think of her first.

 

–Natasha’s patient

“Hilary is very thoughtful and a great listener when providing a customized solution. I was new to acupuncture and she was patient and communicative. She really cares for her patients. I’d recommend her to anyone.”

–Acupuncture Patient

“Dr. Herman thoughtfully and thoroughly addressed all of my concerns and recommended testing and treatments my PCP has never mentioned. I look forward to continuing my care with her.”

–Functional Medicine Patient

“Dr. Minarik is incredibly knowledgable. He’s been helping me for the last year and he’s top notch. I’ve been impressed with his understanding of both eastern and western treatment options.”

–Dry Needling & PRP Injections Patient

“Dr. Minarik is very skilled and knowledgeable about prp and prolotherapy. He is very thorough and precise in his treatments. He has a very good bedside manner with patients and explains his findings and treatments very thoroughly.”

–Orthobiologic Injections Patient

“Dr. Herman is amazing! I completed 2 laser resurfacing treatments and am loving the results. Many friends and family members have commented on how great my skin looks! Thanks, Dr. Herman!”

–Aesthetics Patient

It’s the season of fun in the sun! 😎 We hope It’s the season of fun in the sun! 😎 We hope you’re enjoying your bevvies waterside with a splash of ELECTROLYTES. 🧂 

Even if you’re not a competitive athlete — electrolytes need to be on your radar! 🚨 Whether you’re hiking in the back country, crushing a gym sesh, or lounging in the sun .. here’s why you need ‘em:

💧 HYDRATION they help us actually absorb the water we’re sippin’ 
💧MUSCLES electrolytes help with fatigue, cramping and recovery 
💧BRAIN they are key for nerve signaling and can even help with that pesky 3pm brain fog 
💧SLEEP magnesium helps us to relax & feel calmer 

Ideally, you’re having electrolytes with sodium, potassium + magnesium & least amount of ingredients. Look out for hidden sugars in lots of the mainstream brands! 👀 
Add them to plain water OR sneak them into a fun sparkling drink like @drinkolipop 

The ones we like:

Cheers to feeling better this Summer! 🤸

Most of us love our sunny summer days in the Pacif Most of us love our sunny summer days in the Pacific Northwest, but too much sun has its downside 😎

Here are a few tips for protect and recovering from too much 🌞 

PROTECT

Follow these rules to prevent being depleted by the heat:
- at a minimum, drink half your body weight in ounces of water daily 💦
- On hotter, active days, add 12–24 oz for every hour of outdoor activity. 😅
- If you’re sweating a lot, toss in some electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium) to keep your system balanced. 🥵

Hydration isn’t just about water— eating plenty of fresh fruits + veggies can help with hydration too! 🫐

RESET

If you’ve already pushed it too far and you’re noticing signs of dehydration (fatigue, lightheadedness, headache, brain fog, darkening urine), consider a hydrating IV drip to help you reset quickly.

Our most popular summer IV Formulas:

Performance Boost: saline, B vitamins, Vitamin C, Magnesium, L-Carnitine + Taurine

⚡️key nutrients that help your cells produce more energy and protect you from dehydration; perfect IV for pre-race or competition

Recovery Boost - saline, B vitamins, Vitamin C, Magnesium, Bicarbonate + Potassium

😮‍💨 nutrients that help your cells reset from a depleted state; ideal IV post-race or following travel, illness, or over-exertion.

Injury Prevention Pt 3 Finally, the secret ingred Injury Prevention Pt 3

Finally, the secret ingredient in FoRM’s injury prevention formula…#dryneedling!

Dry-needling acupuncture goes after small areas of tightly bound fibers within muscle and fascia that eventually turn into larger areas of tightness & tension, leading to an injury when pushed too far!

Signs you need some injury prevention therapy:
- joint pain (ie knee pain) during activity
- lingering soreness after activity
- altered gait or restricted movement during & following activity
- early muscle fatigue

At FoRM, we offer this service as a stand-alone therapy or in combination with relaxing manual therapy 💆🏽‍♂️ to boost the benefits (as pictured in this video)!

Remember, you don’t need to be a pro-athlete to benefit from Injury Prevention!
