That's why we take the time to listen to you, do a thorough check-up, and create a treatment plan that fits you.

Whether you need help with a sports injury, recovering, or improving your performance, our team is here for you every step of the way.
Services We Offer for Sports Medicine
1. Injury Evaluation and Diagnosis
Our sports medicine experts are good at checking and understanding sports injuries like sprains, strains, broken bones, dislocations, and injuries from overusing muscles. We use advanced tools like X-rays, MRI scans, and ultrasound to see how bad your injury is and make a plan to treat it right.
2. Non-Surgical Treatment Options
Lots of sports injuries can get better without surgery. We might suggest things like rest, putting ice on the injury, using compression, keeping the injury elevated (RICE), doing physical therapy, wearing a brace, or taking anti-inflammatory medicine. Our sports medicine team will talk with you to make a plan that's just right for you. The goal is to ease pain, help you heal, and get you moving again.
3. Surgical Intervention
Sometimes, if an athlete has a really bad or complicated injury, they might need surgery to fix it. This could be to repair torn tissues, make things stable again, or fix any problems with the structure of the body. Our orthopedic surgeons know lots of different surgery methods, like arthroscopic surgery, fixing ligaments, and replacing joints, to help you get back to normal and play safely again.
4. Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy
After getting hurt in sports, it's really important to do exercises to get better. This helps athletes get their strength, flexibility, and movement back and lowers the chance of getting hurt again. Our physical therapists are experts in sports rehabilitation and will make a special plan just for you to help you get better.
5. Concussion Management
Getting a concussion, which is a type of head injury, happens a lot in sports. It needs special care to get better. Our sports medicine team knows how to check for, diagnose, and take care of concussions. We make sure athletes can get back to playing safely.
6. Performance Enhancement
Besides fixing injuries, we also have ways to help athletes perform better and stay healthy. Whether you want to get stronger, faster, more agile, or build up endurance, our sports medicine experts can give you personalized advice and help you reach your top level.
