Sports Medicine

Overview


Sports Medicine Overview

If you are injured on a sports field, we understand that there is nothing more aggravating than having to sit on the sidelines waiting for the injury to heal. Our doctors treat all of the major and minor sports related injuries and are focused on a single goal: to get you back in the game as quickly and safely as possible after your injury.

Sports-related injuries are not limited to high school, college, or professional athletes, but also include sports enthusiasts, “weekend warriors,” and anyone who is physically active. Sports medicine physicians have specific, specialized experience and/or training in the treatment of injuries that affect competitive athletes as well as physically active individuals. Because of their background in dealing with physically active individuals, these providers recognize the unique concerns and demands associated with the active population.

Due to their unpredictable nature, sports injuries require specialized methods of treatment and our staff consists of orthopaedic surgeons or specialists with the highest level of training and experience in sports medicine. Our surgeons work with people of all ages and abilities to develop individualized and comprehensive treatment programs – from injury prevention and evaluation to orthopaedic surgery and post-injury rehabilitation.
