Athletes push their bodies to the limit, and injuries are often an inevitable part of training and competition. Whether it's a sudden sprain, a lingering overuse injury, or the effects of a hard impact, getting the right care quickly is essential for a safe and full recovery. The OUCH Center, led by Dr. Max Moradian, is dedicated to providing specialized urgent care for athletes, ensuring that every patient receives expert treatment designed to restore strength, function, and performance as efficiently as possible.
Immediate Injury Evaluation and Treatment
At The OUCH Center, we understand that athletes cannot afford to wait days or weeks for a diagnosis. That is why we offer same-day urgent orthopedic pain evaluations, providing rapid assessment and treatment for a wide range of sports-related injuries. Whether you are dealing with a muscle strain, a ligament tear, or joint pain, our expert team prioritizes fast, effective care tailored to your needs.
Common injuries treated at The OUCH Center include:
- Acute sprains and fractures
- Tendonitis and repetitive strain injuries
- Dislocations and joint instability
- Muscle tears and contusions
- Back and neck pain from sports-related impacts
By addressing these injuries promptly, we help athletes minimize downtime and reduce the risk of long-term complications.
Comprehensive Concussion Evaluations
Head injuries, including concussions, are a serious concern in contact sports and high-impact activities. The OUCH Center offers comprehensive concussion evaluations to ensure athletes receive the necessary care for a safe return to play. Even mild traumatic brain injuries can have lasting effects if not properly managed.
Our concussion assessment process includes:
- A thorough neurological evaluation to detect any cognitive or motor impairments
- Symptom tracking to monitor recovery progression
- Individualized treatment plans focused on rest, rehabilitation, and gradual reintegration into activity
- Guidance on safe return-to-play protocols to reduce the risk of reinjury
Whether the injury occurred on the field, at the gym, or in an accident, our specialists provide expert care to protect long-term brain health and athletic performance.
On-Site X-Rays for Fast Diagnosis
Delays in diagnosis can significantly impact recovery time. To streamline the treatment process, The OUCH Center offers on-site digital X-rays, allowing for immediate imaging and assessment of fractures, joint damage, and other musculoskeletal concerns. With access to high-quality diagnostic tools, our team can quickly determine the best course of action and initiate treatment without unnecessary wait times.

At The OUCH Center, the goal is not just to treat injuries but to support full recovery and long-term musculoskeletal health. In addition to urgent care services, we emphasize:
- Pain management strategies that reduce discomfort while promoting healing
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy recommendations to restore strength and mobility
- Preventive care and injury education to help athletes avoid recurring issues
Every treatment plan is customized to the athlete’s specific needs, ensuring a balanced approach that prioritizes both immediate relief and long-term performance.
