Sports Medicine
Reid Health Sports Medicine provides expert care for athletes and active people, treating injuries and helping you move better, stronger, and safer.
What is sports medicine?
Sports medicine focuses on helping people prevent, diagnose, and recover from injuries related to physical activity. Although the name might sound like it’s only for athletes, it’s for anyone who wants to stay active, mobile, and pain-free, whether you play competitive sports, enjoy weekend workouts, or simply want to move comfortably in daily life.
At Reid Health, our sports medicine specialists combine advanced medical care, rehabilitation, and education to help patients heal, strengthen, and safely return to their favorite activities.
When should you see a sports medicine specialist?
You don’t have to be a professional athlete to benefit from sports medicine. You might want to see a sports medicine provider if you experience:
- A sudden injury like a sprain, strain, or fracture
- Ongoing joint or muscle pain that limits activity
- Repetitive motion injuries from work, exercise, or sports
- Performance issues such as decreased strength or flexibility
- A need for rehabilitation after surgery or injury
- Questions about injury prevention, conditioning, or safe return to play
Our goal is to restore function, relieve pain, and prevent future injury, keeping you active and doing what you love.
Common conditions we see
- Sprains and strains
- Tendonitis and bursitis
- Ligament injuries (ACL, MCL, rotator cuff tears, etc.)
- Dislocations and instability
- Fractures and stress fractures
- Overuse injuries
- Cartilage damage
- Concussions and head injuries
- Hip, knee, shoulder, and ankle pain
These injuries could occur suddenly during activity or develop over time because of repetitive movement. Our specialists use advanced diagnostic imaging and personalized treatment plans to identify the root cause and get you back to full strength.
Common sports medicine treatments
Treatment plans are designed to fit each patient’s unique needs and goals, whether that means returning to competition, staying active, or simply moving without pain.
