The all-too-frequent ankle sprain is caused by a sudden stress to the foot that overcomes the ankle ligament and muscle ability to prevent the foot from twisting. Treatment starts with R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation) and ends with exercises to improve strength and stability.

Common causes of "tennis elbow" include weak forearm muscles, overuse, wrong size racket grip and strings that are too tight. Early treatment, including correction of the above, is usually curative.

Tennis-induced shoulder pain is usually related to injury of the rotator cuff, the muscles surrounding the shoulder blade or the collar bone. Treatment typically involves a period of rest, anti-inflammatory medication, physical therapy and occasionally a cortisone injection.

At Island Orthopaedic Medicine, we teach patients how to heal their bodies. Our three orthopedic surgeons have over 75 years of surgical and practice experience. Each doctor is keenly attuned to the needs of the active sports-minded patient, from young children to active seniors.

Orlin & Cohen is Long Island’s leading private orthopedic practice with 31 fellowship-trained subspecialists. Each doctor focused their training on an individual area during their fellowship, which allowed them to further build their experience and expertise as a subspecialist. This focused approach results in optimum patient outcomes as the doctors are on top of the latest advances for each specific area of expertise. The group’s highly trained and experienced orthopedists cover the entire spectrum of subspecialty needs, including sports medicine, hip, knee, shoulder, joint replacements, foot and ankle, spine, neck & back, hand, and general orthopedics.

In addition to its team of subspecialists, Orlin & Cohen has six orthopedic offices including their largest new office to date in Lynbrook. The new state-of-the-art office houses expansive orthopedic and diagnostic imaging facilities including two MRI rooms, Ultrasound, Digital X-rays and more. These services are complemented by those available throughout the Orlin & Cohen network, which includes four physical rehabilitation centers, three MRI centers and a fully accredited Fluoroscopy suite for pain management. The Lynbrook office also provides valet parking Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

Conveniently located at 444 Merrick Road in Lynbrook, the full-service office is a natural extension for the Orlin & Cohen team of board-certified, fellowship-trained subspecialists with offices in Rockville Centre, Cedarhurst, Merrick, Massapequa and Bohemia. An additional office in Woodbury will be opening soon.
