Sports Injuries, ACL, Meniscus

Sports injuries can occur across many age brackets and across many different types of sports and activities. From high school athletes to amateur and professional athletes, everyone can face challenges when they push their bodies and themselves. While contact sports such as football certainly lead to higher rates of sports related injuries, many other non-contact sports can still lead to injury. Resulting injures can run a wide spectrum from relatively benign muscle pulls to disastrous ligament tears that require eventual surgery.

If you have a sports injury, call one of our offices or book an appointment online to get started.

Got there on time and was greeted by the friendly assistant at the front. She appreciated that I checked in before my appointment. They were running a bit behind since there were so many appointments scheduled, but patience is the name of the game. Once I got into the room the doctor was kind, welcoming and gave me a clear direction of his expectation and the steps I needed to take to streamline my injury and recovery. Very happy with this visit given the circumstance. Thank you.
