Orthopedic sports medicine focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of injuries related to physical activity and sports. Our sports medicine specialists care for athletes and active individuals of all ages, from recreational participants to competitive athletes. We help you recover safely, improve your performance and reduce the risk of future injuries through personalized treatment and rehabilitation plans.

Not all sports injuries require surgery. Many conditions can be treated with nonsurgical options such as physical therapy, rest, activity modification, bracing or injections. Our experienced specialists evaluate your injury and recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your goals and activity level. We may recommend surgery only when other treatments are not effective or when an injury is severe and requires repair.

Most health insurance plans cover orthopedic services, including office visits, imaging, physical therapy and surgery when medically necessary. Coverage can vary depending on your plan, diagnosis and whether a referral is required. Our orthopedic clinic team can help verify insurance coverage, explain benefits and assist with appointment scheduling.
