Care begins with understanding the injury

A precise diagnosis. A plan built around you.

Sports medicine combines orthopedic expertise with a careful understanding of how an injury affects movement, performance, work and everyday life.

At OSM, the process begins with a thorough evaluation. Your physician will discuss the diagnosis and appropriate treatment options, which may include nonsurgical care or surgery depending on your individual needs.

Understand the injury, your symptoms, your level of function and the activities you want to return to.

Plan

Review appropriate options together and shape care around your diagnosis, health and goals.

Return

Build a thoughtful path back toward sport, work, recreation and the daily activities that matter to you.

Treatment pathways

The right level of care for your condition

Treatment is individualized. Surgery is one option, not the starting assumption, and is considered when it is appropriate for the diagnosis and the patient.

Nonsurgical care

Many sports-related conditions can be managed without surgery. Recommendations depend on the injury, symptom severity, function and goals.

  • Activity modification
  • Bracing when appropriate
  • Medication guidance
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation
  • Ultrasound-guided injections
  • Platelet-rich plasma injections

Surgical care

When surgery is recommended, your physician will explain the procedure, alternatives and expected rehabilitation considerations for your situation.

  • Shoulder, knee and hip arthroscopy
  • Ligament reconstruction
  • Meniscus and labral repair
  • Rotator cuff repair
  • Cartilage restoration procedures
  • Tendon and fracture repair

A consultation does not predetermine a treatment. It is an opportunity to understand the problem, review options and make an informed decision with your physician.

Professional experience. Personal care.
