Description: When it comes to finding a fix for injured high-performance athletes, the answers may not always be easy. Dr. Nelson Hager with UW Medicine Sports and Spine works with patients like Erin Aas, a competitive triathlete, to not only resolve pain, but to return to a high performance level. Dr. Hager considers all aspects of a patient’s injury, using tools like musculoskeletal ultrasound to examine soft tissue structures and gait analysis to determine if mechanics are to blame. Learn how Hager and Aas worked together to put Aas back on track for an Ironman in 2010.
