Sports Medicine That Gets Patients Back In Action

Sports medicine is designed to help all types of active people recover from injury and get moving again. Specialists in sports medicine serve a wide range of patients, from amateur and professional athletes to those with physical jobs, such as firefighters, military, and other first responders, as well as active children and teens, whose growing bodies require special care.

Doctors, surgeons, athletic trainers, physical therapists, and others who work in sports medicine are trained and certified in their primary area of expertise first, and then receive additional sports medicine training to serve patients.

No one wants to be sidelined by injury and when injuries do occur, it’s important to resist the temptation to keep working or “playing through it,” which can cause additional damage. Seeing a sports medicine specialist can help patients get back into action as safely and quickly as possible.

The sports medicine specialists at Advanced Orthopedic & Sports Medicine have helped many professional, Olympic, collegiate, and amateur athletes back in the game. We deliver world-class care starting with proper diagnosis and treatment and continuing with hands-on recovery strategies. We work closely with each patient to minimize recovery time while being mindful of preventing re-injury. Some of the most frequent injuries we treat include:
