Sports Medicine

An athlete’s worst fear is getting hurt. Even if you aren’t a professional athlete, anyone who plays sports, exercises, or depends on their physical abilities for employment is devastated by an injury. That’s where sports medicine comes in.

Our Services

Many sports-related injuries and disorders are treated with arthroscopic surgery, a minimally invasive surgical method that uses a camera to look inside a joint as well as specialized instruments to carry out any necessary surgery in that joint.

The practice of sports medicine takes a team approach with input from an orthopaedic surgeon, non-surgical sports specialists, rehabilitation specialist, athletic trainer, and physical therapist. We work together to provide you the best treatment with the quickest recovery time, so you can get back to the activities you love.

When Should I See A Doctor For A Sports Injury?

You should see a doctor for a sports injury in the following situations: you have severe pain and cannot put any weight on the injured body part; the area around the injured joint is tender to the touch; the shape and size of the injured area is different from the opposite extremity; you see red streaks or redness spreading out from the injury; you are in doubt about the seriousness of the injury, or you are not sure how to care for it. The Rothman Sports Medicine specialists are here to help!
