Sports injury prevention

Our athletic training and sports physical therapy experts help prevent injuries from overuse. We use specific exercises to help prevent repetitive injury in adult and youth athletes.

Evaluation of sports injuries

When injuries happen, our team offers free injury assessments to get you the care you need quickly. A licensed athletic trainer or physical therapist examines you and gives you an action plan, including quick access to orthopedics if needed.

Nonsurgical orthopedic treatments

Our specialists might start with at-home treatments such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or recommend heat or ice to manage discomfort.

Our specialists may recommend certain nonoperative orthopedics treatments. For injuries such as strains, sprains and overuse conditions, we offer:

Surgeries

When nonsurgical treatments don’t help, our surgeons can repair damage and improve function. Whether your injury occurs suddenly or develops over time, surgery may be the right solution. We offer:

We also offer hand and wrist treatment and foot and ankle treatment. Whenever possible, surgeons use arthroscopy, which allows them to see, diagnose and repair damage through small incisions. This minimally invasive approach helps you heal faster, with fewer complications than open surgery.
