Comprehensive Sports Medicine Care for an Active Lifestyle
Sports injuries are not limited to competitive athletes. Recreational athletes, weekend warriors, older adults, and people who simply want to remain physically active can experience musculoskeletal injuries or conditions that interfere with movement. At Orthopedic Associates of Southwest Ohio, our sports medicine physicians in Southwest Ohio provide evaluation and treatment focused on helping patients manage pain, restore function, and return to the activities they enjoy.
Our sports medicine team focuses on the musculoskeletal system, including commonly injured areas such as the knees, shoulders, ankles, and elbows. Because every patient’s activity level and orthopedic needs are different, treatment is based on the individual’s condition and goals.
Whenever appropriate, the first approach is conservative treatment to help control pain and discomfort. Physical therapy is among the sports therapy services available through Orthopedic Associates. When an injury or condition requires more advanced care, our sports medicine physicians can determine whether additional clinical or surgical treatment should be considered.
