Proactive Tendon Health & Injury Prevention
Stay ahead of injury. Protect your performance.
For high-performing athletes, tendon injuries aren’t just painful—they can be career-altering. The achilles and patellar tendons are among the most vulnerable structures in the body, and chronic damage often goes unnoticed until it’s too late. These “silent injuries” can significantly slow performance, prolong recovery, or lead to devastating ruptures that take athletes off the field for months—or longer.
Targeted Tendon Care for Peak Performance
Tendon injuries can silently derail even the most elite athletes. That’s why we take a proactive, precision-focused approach—evaluating high-risk tendons like the achilles and patellar tendons before symptoms ever appear. Through advanced ultrasound imaging and longitudinal monitoring, we help identify early changes in tendon health, allowing for timely interventions and rehab strategies. Whether you're recovering, in peak season, or training for your next milestone, proactive tendon evaluations are a smart step in preserving performance and preventing setbacks.
Our Proactive Approach to Injury Prevention
At Concierge Sports & Family Medicine, we take a proactive, preventive approach to athlete care. Using state-of-the-art ultrasound imaging, Dr. Brandon Mines conducts targeted evaluations of the most at-risk tendons in the body—specifically the achilles and patellar tendons. With decades of experience in elite-level sports medicine, Dr. Mines can detect early signs of degeneration or chronic wear long before symptoms appear.
This allows for early intervention through tailored rehab strategies designed to promote healing, restore normal tendon architecture, and prevent more serious injury down the road.
Ongoing Monitoring for Long-Term Performance
What sets us apart is our ability to build a longitudinal health profile for each athlete. As you continue working within our ecosystem, we’ll gather real-time data points on your tendon health across different time periods. This enables us to spot subtle changes in tendon structure, track progress, and fine-tune your recovery and training approach over time.
Our goal? To keep you performing at your best—season after season.
Professional & Collegiate Athletes
High-performing athletes put intense stress on their bodies, especially the tendons. Routine evaluations can help detect micro-damage early, prevent career-altering injuries, and support sustained peak performance across competitive seasons. See our full range of services for Professional Athletes and College Athletes.
High School Athletes
Young athletes in rigorous training or year-round sports are especially vulnerable to overuse injuries. Tendon evaluations offer valuable insight during critical developmental years, helping prevent long-term damage and optimize performance as they progress.
Athletes Recovering from Tendon Injuries
For those healing from tendon-related injuries, ultrasound evaluations provide real-time feedback on tissue recovery. This ensures rehab is appropriately paced, and any signs of reinjury risk are addressed early for a safer return to play.
Fitness Enthusiasts & Preventive Health Seekers
Even recreational athletes and active individuals can benefit from a proactive approach. Tendon screenings help catch early wear and tear, enabling smarter training decisions and long-term joint and soft tissue health.
Who Should Get a Tendon Evaluation?
What to Expect
Our tendon health service includes an ultrasound-based evaluation of the achilles and patellar tendons, the two most commonly affected areas in athletes. Dr. Brandon Mines will personally review and discuss your results, offering clear recommendations for rehabilitation, activity modification, or additional testing if necessary. For those looking to monitor progress or stay proactive, we also offer the option to schedule follow-up evaluations throughout the year.
