Sports Medicine

Get Back In the Game!

Due to their dynamic nature, sports injuries require specialized methods of treatment. No matter what your sport is and what level you play at when you obtain an injury, you need to get the proper orthopedic care. It’s crucial to see an orthopedic surgeon or specialist with the highest level of training and experience in sports medicine.

From a sprained ankle to a concussion, athletic injuries that are left untreated can lead to worsening symptoms and even permanent damage. Orthopedic medicine is a specialty that deals with the treatment of bones and muscles. Orthopedic sports medicine physicians have specialized training in the diagnosis and treatment of injuries. 

Our sports injury clinic team takes a collaborative approach to help you return to your favorite sports and activities. Our specialty-trained orthopedic doctors are dedicated to repairing an array of sports injuries and conditions. Common conditions we treat at our sports medicine clinic and orthopedic clinic include:

  • Torn ligaments (ACL and MCL)

  • Torn cartilage (meniscus)

  • Joint instability
