Yes: If the mechanical factors that led to the original problem (muscle imbalance, core weakness) are not fixed, the problem is likely to come back. A sports medicine physician/physiatrist can evaluate to see if it is the same injury that has returned- and can help come up with a short and long term treatment plan.
