Claudia Dal Molin, DO, RMSK

Dr. Dal Molin specializes in primary care sports medicine. She has provided medical care for a variety of sports at the high school, collegiate and professional levels.

Dr. Dal Molin treats sports injuries and related conditions including:

• Acute sports-related concussion
• Sprains and strains
• Tendinitis
• Fractures and stress fractures
• Osteoarthritis

Dr. Dal Molin uses evidence-based methods and technology including:

• Musculoskeletal ultrasound (Ultrasound is more affordable than magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] and often provides higher resolution for diagnosing injuries to soft tissues like tendons, muscles, ligaments and nerves.)
• Guided injections with better accuracy (Ultrasound-guided injections can be as accurate as 98% compared to 40% to 60% with blind injections.)
• Percutaneous needle tenotomy (More than 85% of patients with chronic tendon pain in the elbow, hip, knee, shoulder or hamstring report improvement from minimally invasive ultrasound-guided procedures.)
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and biologics (A patient’s own blood platelets or frozen stem cells are used to boost the body’s reparative process in a specific area.)
• Lifestyle medicine (Dr. Dal Molin’s virtual coaching services help with weight management and developing a healthier, balanced lifestyle. Patients work with her over several months to create a personalized approach that works for them.)

Dr. Dal Molin joined University of Maryland Medical Center in 2014. She currently serves as assistant professor and director of musculoskeletal ultrasound education in the Department of Orthopedics at University of Maryland School of Medicine. She has served as head team physician for the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) Retrievers and as team physician for the University of Maryland Terrapins.
