Sports Medicine

Our sports medicine surgeons have particular expertise in the operating room. If it is at all possible, they prefer non-surgical solutions. If surgery is the right solution, the Bone and Joint Institute physicians have the training and skill you can be confident in.

Taking care of an injured athlete is more than applying a sophisticated brace. It is the skilled hands-on evaluation and appropriate diagnostic testing that determine the best overall plan of care; remembering first and foremost, that it's not another injured athlete but a human being.

Many people in today's society choose to participate in athletics. Some are professionals whose physical performance is their livelihood, many are students who pursue sports in conjunction with academics, and still others are avid amateurs who participate in sports for recreation and physical fitness. All athletes with different skill levels, different motivations and different goals have one shared need, which is for a fully integrated, comprehensive sports medicine program that can be tailored to each athlete's goals. Unfortunately, injuries that occur during or related to athletic competition have become common among today's active population. At the Bone and Joint Institute, our philosophy is to provide all athletes professional and recreational with the same high quality level of care.

Our dedication to keeping the athletic community healthy and active is evidenced by the comprehensive nature of our programming. In addition to providing specialized assessment and treatment for sports-related injuries, our clinical team is also actively involved in educating our area's athletes, coaches, and parents about injury prevention and recognition. We believe that educational programming is an integral factor to our success. We provide programs to the community focused on proper strength building, flexibility, conditioning, endurance, and training techniques to minimize the risk of injury occurrence.

Through integration with local colleges, school districts, community venues and professional sports teams the Bone and Joint Institute has helped thousands of individuals to better understand how to care for their bodies before, during and after participating in athletics
