Welcome to Prisma On Call, a new Q+A series that connects you, our readers, to Prisma Health providers who are ready to answer all your questions. This month, we’re focusing on orthopedics + sports medicine. Let’s get physical, COLA.

Prisma Health’s Sports Medicine Orthopedic physicians are on call to answer any questions you have related to sports injuries, nagging orthopedic issues, daily exercise, injuries to joints, and next steps for proper care. Think:

❓How long should I stretch before exercise to avoid injury? What about after exercise?

❓How can I tell if I’ve pulled a ligament or a tendon?

I think I sprained my ankle — how long do I need to wait before resuming my running routine?

Submit your questions below, and we’ll share the physicians’ answers in a few weeks. Ⓟ
