What Is Sports Medicine?
Sports Medicine is a specialised medical field focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing injuries related to sports, exercise, and active lifestyles. It covers a wide spectrum — from sprains and tendon discomfort to chronic joint issues and high-performance recovery.
This service is ideal not just for elite athletes, but anyone facing:
Strains, sprains, or impact injuries
Overuse injuries (like tendinopathy)
Joint pain, stiffness or swelling
Muscle, ligament or tendon problems
Sports‑specific performance concerns
Injury prevention, post‑injury rehabilitation, return to sport
Why Choose Sports Medicine Care with Dr Ong Joo Haw?
With Dr Ong Joo Haw’s dual fellowships in high‑performance sports medicine and musculoskeletal ultrasound, you’ll receive care that is:
Evidence‑based & precise
Using modern tools such as ultrasound‑guided injections, shockwave therapy, PRP (platelet‑rich plasma) treatments, and other minimally invasive techniques.
Holistic & patient‑centred
Each treatment plan is tailored — not just to relieve pain, but to restore movement, strength, and confidence.
Performance‑aware
We focus on helping you return to your sport, fitness goals or everyday activity better than before. Prevention and long‑term function are key.
Getting started is easy!
1. Assessment
A thorough evaluation of injury history, movement & biomechanics, and imaging or ultrasound if needed.
We’ll also clarify your goals (return‑to‑sport, pain‑free daily living, etc.)
2. Personalised Treatment Plan
Combining medication, manual therapy, exercise, modalities (shockwave, ultrasound guidance), and rehab protocols designed to meet your timeline.
3. Active Rehabilitation
Strategies for managing load, avoiding re‑injury (warm‑ups, biomechanics, equipment) and sustaining gains long‑term.
4. Recovery & Prevention
Guided strength, mobility and sport‑specific training. We use functional exercises and conditioning to safely rebuild performance.
Common Conditions Treated

Why It Matters
Injuries untreated or poorly managed often lead to chronic pain, recurring issues, or loss of performance. With the right care early, you can expect faster recovery, stronger resilience, and less risk of relapse. Our goal is not just to heal — but to equip you to stay active, confident, and thriving.
Recover faster. Move better. Get back to what you love.
