Reid Health offers a variety of ways to care for athletic injuries or muscle or bone issues in active adults. Sports medicine relates to the care and treatment of individuals who have become injured playing a sport, exercising, or engaging in other physical activities. The ultimate goal of sports medicine is recovery -- quickly and fully -- so you can get back to the activities you enjoy the most.

Reid Health Sports Medicine is available for student-athletes to active adults. Even if you don't participate in a sport or physical activity, sports medicine can help care for patients with injuries, pains, and strains caused by physically demanding jobs.

Our team is comprised of a variety of experts -- from sports medicine providers to certified athletic trainers. Each team member partners with patients to achieve a full recovery and prevent future injuries from happening.

Your sports medicine team can include:

  • Your primary care provider
  • Sports medicine family physician
  • Orthopedic specialists
  • Certified athletic trainers
  • Physical or occupational therapist
  • Ortho Walk-in NOW

Myth: Sports medicine is just for athletes

Sports medicine is for any active patient who has an injury to their musculoskeletal system. That's your bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and muscles. You don't need to play a sport to benefit from the care given by a sports medicine team!

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

Platelet-rich plasma injections are a non-surgical treatment option for patients experiencing pain from an injury, a joint condition, or arthritis. PRP injections rely on your body's natural healing properties to treat orthopedic conditions such as:

  • Muscle sprains and strains
  • Torn tendons or ligaments
  • Painful joints
  • Tennis elbow
  • Rotator cuff issues

PRP injections involve a 3-step process.

  • Blood is collected using a small needle, similar to a routine blood draw.
  • Your blood is then placed in a centrifuge, a machine designed to separate red blood cells from white blood cells, platelets, and plasma.
  • This mixture is then injected into the affected area using ultrasound-guided technology.

Talk to your provider about your options and whether PRP is right for you. PRP is not covered by all insurance providers, and it's important to understand any out-of-pocket expenses.

Care for Concussions

A concussion is a brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that can change the way your brain normally works. It can also occur from a fall or a blow to the body that causes the head and brain to move quickly. When treated properly, concussions are usually not life-threatening, but their effects can be serious.
