We believe in the potential of student athletes to make a difference - on the field, for their family, in their community.

A minor setback for a major comeback

Time is of the essence, especially for injured student-athletes. When an injury occurs, delayed diagnosis can mean longer recovery, a missed season, and unnecessary worry for families. X-rays often do not tell the whole story, or provide enough detail to determine the next steps.

Our goal is to provide MRI scans within 72 hours, ensuring a swift path to recovery and a quicker return to the field. Free of charge.

An MRI will give you a closer look at your injury, providing additional information so you can make smart choices about how to proceed.

How to know when a student-athlete needs an MRI:

  • A significant Injury occurs or severe pain that needs immediate evaluation. X-rays are unclear.
  • Persistent or Worsening Pain: Pain and symptoms that lasts beyond 1-2 weeks.
  • Suspected Soft Tissue Damage: Injuries to ligaments, muscles, tendons, or cartilage.
  • Functional Instability: Recurring joint instability, such as a knee giving out.
  • Mechanical Symptoms: Locking, clicking, or clicking in a joint.
  • MRIs are commonly used to diagnose sports injuries like sprains and strains.

Coaches, Trainers, Parents - we're here for your student-athletes:

Call 888-480-9996 or email help@thecomebackproject.org. You will not be asked for insurance information, or payment of any kind.
