Laboratory Tests
Our sports injury and physiotherapy clinic offers a wide range of laboratory tests to support the diagnosis, treatment, and management of sports-related injuries. Our advanced lab services provide critical insights into your health, helping our expert team create personalized treatment plans to optimize your recovery and performance.
Inflammation markers: Testing for markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) to assess the level of inflammation in your body, which can be crucial in diagnosing and monitoring injuries.
Nutritional deficiencies: Evaluating levels of essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin D, iron, and calcium, to ensure your body has the nutrients it needs for optimal recovery and performance.
Complete blood count (CBC): This procedure analyses your blood cells to detect any abnormalities affecting your overall health and recovery process.
Basic metabolic panel (BMP): Assessing kidney function, blood sugar levels, and electrolyte balance to provide a comprehensive overview of your metabolic health.
Comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP): This panel includes additional tests to evaluate liver function and overall metabolic health, ensuring a thorough understanding of your body’s needs and condition.
Cortisol levels: Measuring cortisol levels to assess stress and recovery status is vital for athletes managing intense training and recovery periods.
Testosterone and other hormones: Evaluating essential hormones influencing muscle growth, energy levels, and overall athletic performance.
Hydration status: Assessing hydration levels to ensure optimal fluid balance is crucial for preventing injuries and maintaining peak performance.
Protein and glucose levels: Checking for protein and glucose in the urine can indicate underlying health issues that may affect recovery.
Lactate Threshold testing: Measuring blood lactate levels during exercise to determine your lactate threshold helps design effective training programs.
Genetic testing: This involves identifying genetic markers that influence your susceptibility to injuries, recovery times, and overall athletic performance, allowing personalized training and recovery plans.
