Sports Medicine

Precision diagnosis. Evidence-based recovery.

In-house sports medicine led by Dr. Noor Amin, combining clinical assessment with real-time ultrasound imaging and a full suite of advanced injection therapies, all coordinated with our physiotherapy team.

A referral is required from your family physician or a walk-in physician to book an appointment with Dr. Amin.

Dr. Noor Amin

Sports Medicine Doctor, CASEM Diplomat

Dr. Amin completed his Sports Medicine Fellowship at the University of Toronto and is a Diplomat of the Canadian Academy of Sport and Exercise Medicine. He works closely with our physiotherapists and multidisciplinary team to develop evidence-based treatment programs that help patients recover quickly and effectively.

Additional in-house interventions include cortisone, hyaluronic acid, and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections, all performed under live ultrasound guidance.

Our Approach

Built on three clinical principles.

01

Ultrasound Precision

Every injection is performed under live ultrasound imaging. Live imaging guides assessment and examination of the affected area, allowing precise placement and helping confirm anatomical findings.

02

Biologic When Appropriate

Where indicated, treatments derived from your own biology such as PRP and nSTRIDE APS are considered alongside conventional options, helping match the right therapy to the right patient.

03

Personalized Pathways

Every patient's treatment plan is individual. A $60 cortisone injection and a $5,000 Arthrosamid hydrogel are both valid choices in the right context. We guide you to what fits you.

Each treatment is suited to specific conditions. Select a category below to explore your options. Pricing shown is an approximate guide. Exact pricing is confirmed at consultation.

Biologic

nSTRIDE APS

Autologous Protein Solution from your own blood. Single injection for osteoarthritis and cartilage wear.

Your own blood is concentrated into an anti-inflammatory protein solution and injected directly into the joint. Treats osteoarthritis and cartilage wear or degeneration in small or large joints. One injection can provide 12 to 24-plus months of relief. NSAIDs (Advil, ibuprofen) should be avoided for 2 weeks before and after.

Best forOA, cartilage wear
Onset1-4 weeks
Duration12-24+ months
Injections1 only

~1 hour
NSAIDs: Avoid
Regenerative

PRP, Joint

Platelet-Rich Plasma for cartilage wear in small or large joints.

Concentrated platelets from your own blood are injected into the joint to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation. Effective for osteoarthritis and cartilage wear or degeneration. Typically requires a series of 2 to 3 injections several weeks apart. NSAIDs should be avoided before and after each injection.

Best forOA, cartilage wear
OnsetWeeks-months
Duration6-18 months
Injections2-3 series

Hyaluronic Acid

Gel lubrication for OA and cartilage wear in small or large joints.

Hyaluronic acid restores the natural lubricant depleted by osteoarthritis and cartilage wear, easing stiffness and pain. A series of 1 to 3 injections can restore comfort for 3 to 6 months, with repeat courses every 6 months. Often covered by extended health and private insurance plans.

Best forOA, cartilage wear
Onset2-4 weeks

Premium, Long-lasting

Arthrosamid

Polyacrylamide hydrogel for moderate to severe knee OA.

A soft, water-rich hydrogel that integrates into the joint lining to create a permanent cushioning layer. Unlike hyaluronic acid, it is not absorbed. Effects have been studied for 2 to 5 years from a single injection. Suited to moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis where other injections have not provided adequate relief.

Best forModerate-severe knee OA

Anti-inflammatory

Cortisone

Fast, powerful relief for joints, bursae, and OA flare-ups.

A precisely delivered corticosteroid injection that reduces inflammation within days. Often covered by provincial and extended insurance plans. Useful for acute flares, diagnostic value, and as a window to begin physiotherapy and consider longer-term options.

Best forJoints, bursae, OA flares
Onset3-5 days

SportVis

Soft tissue hyaluronic acid (STABHA) for tendon and ligament pain or small tears.

Health Canada-approved hyaluronic acid specifically for soft tissue injuries. Treats tendon or ligament pain and small tears including tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, and ankle sprains. Minimal downtime, most patients return to activity the same day. Often covered by extended health and private insurance plans.

PRP, Soft Tissue

Platelet-Rich Plasma for chronic tendon and ligament injuries.

For longstanding tendon injuries unresolved by conservative care. PRP delivers a potent biological stimulus directly into the damaged tissue. Effective for chronic Achilles, patellar, elbow, and plantar tendinopathies. Expect 1 to 3 days of soreness after each injection. NSAIDs should be avoided before and after.

Best forChronic tendons

Anti-inflammatory

Cortisone, Soft Tissue

Acute tendon and bursa inflammation relief.

When inflammation around a tendon or bursa is severe enough to prevent sleep or physiotherapy, a precisely placed cortisone injection rapidly restores comfort. Used selectively to open a window for rehabilitation. Suitable for acute tendon flares, bursitis, and trigger finger.

Best forAcute tendon flares

Stage 2, Frozen

Hydrodilation

Capsular distension for the frozen (stiff) stage of adhesive capsulitis.

Fluid is injected under pressure into the joint to stretch the tight capsule from within, accelerating recovery during the frozen stage. Physiotherapy immediately after is critical to maintain the gained range of motion. Typically 1 to 2 sessions are needed.

Stage 1, Freezing

Cortisone for Frozen Shoulder

Pain control during the freezing stage.

In the painful early stage of frozen shoulder, cortisone into the joint capsule is the most effective first step. It calms inflammation within days, restoring sleep and enabling physiotherapy to begin. Hydrodilation may be recommended next as stiffness becomes the dominant issue.

Gold Standard

Barbotage

Needling and lavage for calcific tendinosis in the rotator cuff.

Under ultrasound guidance, the calcium deposit is broken up and flushed out through a needle, addressing the root cause. Over 70 percent of patients report significant improvement. Often combined with a cortisone injection into the adjacent bursa to reduce post-procedure inflammation.

Best forCalcific tendinosis
OnsetDays-weeks

Adjunct

Cortisone for Calcific Flare

Anti-inflammatory adjunct for calcific bursitis or acute flares.

When a calcium deposit produces an acutely inflamed bursa, cortisone calms the surrounding inflammation. Often used in conjunction with barbotage rather than as a standalone solution.
