Sports Medicine

The specialty of Sports Medicine has its origins in the care of the injured competitive athlete. Today, Sports Medicine is for everyone. It has grown as a specialty to encompass the needs of all individuals with musculoskeletal injury or pain who desire to maintain or to pursue an active lifestyle.

The Sports Medicine Program at Orthopaedic Specialists of North Carolina espouses a multidisciplinary philosophy incorporating education & prevention, evaluation & diagnosis, and operative & non-operative treatment. Return to sport/activity for athletes and active individuals alike is paramount.

The injuries and conditions treated are usually, but not always, the result of injury sustained in competitive sport. Sometimes they are simply the result of the normal process of aging or of inactivity. The focus of the Sports Medicine physician is on those injuries affecting the knee, shoulder, ankle and elbow, but can (and does) involve any other area of the musculoskeletal system.

Orthopaedic Specialists of North Carolina serves as the Team Physician for many local schools (high school and college) and recreational sports leagues in the communities where we live and practice. We also proudly serve as the Team Physician and Orthopaedic Consultant for the Carolina Mudcats.

Orthopaedic Specialists of North Carolina is committed to providing the highest level of orthopedic and musculoskeletal care to the student athletes of our area. The Sports Medicine Team strives to serve and to be ever available to you should the need arise.
