Sports Medicine & Injury Clinics

The clinics are dedicated to injury prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation for athletes of all ages and levels, recreational to professional.

Sports injuries classified as either traumatic or overuse injuries. Traumatic injuries occur commonly in contact sports such as football, soccer, and rugby. The speed and high collision nature of these sports result in injuries ranging from bruises and sprains to concussion, fractures, and ligament and tendon damage. There are sixteen major body parts that typically incur traumatic sports injuries. Overuse injuries occur more gradually. As the name suggests, they are the result of overusing a specific part of the body. Runners, for example, commonly experience knee and ankle overuse injuries. Athletic trainers, physicians, surgeons, and coaches work as a sports medicine team whose primary focus is to restore the health of the injured athlete.
