Not Just for Athletes

When most people hear the term sports medicine, they think of athletes and sports teams. The truth is sports medicine is not just for athletes playing team sports; it’s also for anyone who enjoys an active lifestyle or wants to be more active.

Our team of specialists offers experienced treatment for injuries to hips, feet, and more. We can help you achieve your goals, whether it’s running a marathon or simply being able to enjoy a walk in the park.
