Sports Medicine

Our sports medicine specialists are dedicated to preventing overuse injuries, fractures and concussions in young athletes, while offering expert care for a variety of sports-related injuries. Every year, nearly 2 million high school athletes and more than 3 million children younger than 14 years are injured in sports. With proper education and guidance, about half of these injuries can be prevented.

Our team specializes in age-appropriate injury prevention and treatment, recognizing the unique needs of pediatric athletes, including growth-related concerns and their increased vulnerability to certain types of injuries. We offer a specialized Sports Physical Therapy program for pediatric injuries and work collaboratively with pediatric sports medicine experts, including doctors, orthopedic surgeons, athletic trainers and nurses.

For injured athletes, we provide a comprehensive diagnosis and develop individualized treatment plans to ensure a safe and efficient return to play. We encourage referrals for cases involving concussion symptoms, persistent pain or swelling, recurring flare-ups or athletes who rely on pain medications to continue training or competing.
