Sports Medicine
The Sports Medicine Department at Mercy Medical Group is committed to keeping athletes of all ages safely competing in their sport or activity. An emphasis is made on understanding each injury, as well as taking part in the intricate recovery and return to play process. Our goal is to get each patient back to the highest level of activity possible, in the safest manner possible.
Conditions We Treat
We specialize in non-operative medical treatment of musculoskeletal sports conditions. Common examples of conditions that we treat include:
- Acute injuries (such as ankle sprains, muscle strains, knee and shoulder injuries)
- Overuse injuries (such as tendonitis)
- Fractures
We utilize a team approach with our orthopedists and podiatrists to streamline the treatment process and expedite care, making direct referrals when necessary.
