Treating an injury mid-season might call for a different strategy than it would in the off-season.

TREATMENT FOR SPORTS INJURIES & ORTHOPEDIC ISSUES
The Right Level of Care at the Right Time
For most sports injuries and orthopedic problems, treatment doesn’t begin with surgery. Depending on your condition, Dr. Maguire will likely recommend physical therapy, activity modification, or interventional pain management solutions, such as joint injections, first.
When surgical intervention is necessary, Dr. Maguire specializes in advanced, minimally invasive options, including arthroscopic surgery, ligament repair and reconstruction, joint-preserving techniques, and the latest joint replacement procedures.
His focus is on choosing the right treatment at the right time to relieve pain and get you back to your sport or active life as quickly and safely as possible.
01
Conservative Care
Non-surgical approaches, including physical therapy, activity modification, and medications.
02
Interventional Treatments
Options such as image-guided injections and PRP therapy for managing pain and promoting recovery.
03
Arthroscopic & Reconstructive Surgery
Cutting-edge procedures for ligament, cartilage, joint, muscle, and other orthopedic injuries.
04
Joint Preservation & Replacement
Surgical techniques designed to preserve the natural joint when possible, as well as partial and total joint replacement for advanced damage.

FAQs
Do you treat children?
Dr. Maguire treats adolescent and student athletes with orthopedic and sports-related injuries. Because younger children may have different orthopedic needs, we recommend contacting Ortho Med Long Island to determine whether Dr. Maguire is the appropriate specialist for your child.
As a New York sports medicine specialist, does Dr. Maguire only treat athletes?
No. Despite the name, sports medicine isn’t exclusively for competitive athletes. Dr. Maguire treats patients of all ages and activity levels, from high school athletes and weekend warriors to adults dealing with arthritis, joint pain, overuse injuries, and age-related orthopedic conditions.
Can older adults benefit from sports medicine?
Absolutely. Sports medicine focuses on restoring strength, mobility, and function, which benefits patients well beyond their competitive years. Dr. Maguire works with older adults who have arthritis, joint pain, rotator cuff problems, and other orthopedic conditions that can make it harder to exercise, engage in hobbies, or remain independent.
Can I still play sports after shoulder or knee surgery?
From football injuries to soccer knee injuries, the vast majority of athletes are able to play sports again once they’ve healed. Your timeline for returning to activity will depend on your injury, the procedure performed, your progress during rehabilitation, and the physical demands of your sport. Dr. Maguire will monitor your recovery and help you safely get back on the field (or court).
When should I see an orthopedic surgeon?
You should visit our Long Island orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist if:
- your pain isn’t improving;
- you have decreased range of motion;
- your joint feels unstable;
- you’re unable to bear weight on the affected area;
- symptoms are interfering with sports, work, exercise, sleep, or day-to-day activities;
- you have persistent swelling or the joint looks misshapen;
- you sustained a traumatic injury; and/or
- there’s persistent popping, clicking, or grinding in the joint.
Seeing an orthopedic surgeon like Dr. Maguire doesn’t mean you’ll need surgery. He’ll identify the cause of your symptoms and help you determine the appropriate next steps.
Do you treat arthritis?
Yes. Dr. Maguire treats arthritis and degenerative joint conditions, including shoulder arthritis and knee arthritis. Depending on the severity of your symptoms and joint damage, treatment may include physical therapy, activity modification, medications, injections, PRP therapy, or other non-surgical options.
For advanced arthritis that no longer responds to conservative care, Dr. Maguire also performs joint arthroscopy and shoulder and knee replacement surgery.
