Sports Medicine
Whether you’re planning to make the hall of fame, hoping to hit your favorite hiking trail, or you just want to be able to keep up with your grandchildren, the expertise that helps elite athletes stay on top can help anyone who doesn’t want injuries to slow them down.
We can provide medical treatment for musculoskeletal conditions that do not require immediate surgery, and also provide expert advice for safe and healthy strength training and conditioning regimens.
Our board certified sports medicine physician works closely with our athletic trainers, OSF Rehabilitation and orthopedic surgeons.
The ultimate goal in sports medicine is to return the patient back to activity as safely and quickly as possible.
