Sports medicine

As sports medicine doctors, we help both athletes (those who play sports) and non-athletes. We're experts in medical problems with the muscles and bones used in sports and physical movement.

We’re here to help you get back to the level of physical movement you want:

• Running marathons
• Taking Zumba
• Playing with your grandkids

Our sports medicine doctors also work with local and national sports teams on care for their athletes.

You may see us for:

• Sports medicine and care specialized in exercise or physical movement
• Arthritis care (painful swelling of the joints or the place where two bones come together)
• Shoulder pain, including rotator cuff (muscles and tendons that work together to help your shoulder move) issues and other shoulder problems
• Knee pain from overuse injuries and other problems 
• Injections (shots) to help with pain with joints (a place where two bones come together)
• Fracture (a break in bone) care

Our team can help you with a number of other common sports-related problems, including:

• Traumatic (an injury that comes on suddenly and needs care right away) and overuse injuries
• Joint sprains and muscle strains
• Tendonitis (swelling of a tendon) and tendinosis (a long-term problem when parts of the tendon wear down over time)

Our team has expert knowledge of:

• Musculoskeletal (muscles and bones) ultrasound and ultrasound-guided injections and ways to care for injuries
• Physical exams needed before you join a sports team
• Concussion (a type of traumatic brain injury or TBI) management
• Stress fractures and fracture care that can't be helped with surgery
• Exercise-induced asthma (asthma brought on by a lot of physical movement)

Orthopedic doctors can help with problems with bones and muscles. Physical therapists help you heal and get movement back after a surgery, illness or injury. We can also help you find an orthopedic surgeon or a physical therapist if you need one.
