Sports medicine focuses on the treatment, recovery and prevention processes of musculoskeletal injuries for athletes and is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. These specific types of physicians undergo rigorous training in musculoskeletal injuries, making them more than qualified to provide proper diagnoses and treatment options for sports-related injuries.
While most people tend to think sports medicine is strictly for athletes. It is ideal for non-athletes as well. It’s a form of medicine that focuses on helping individuals recover from current injuries, while also helping to prevent future injuries. Significant advances in techniques have provided substantial data that sports medicine can also be applied to typical musculoskeletal injuries.
Our orthopaedic surgeons and sports medicine physicians treat a variety of sports-related injuries. We integrate state-of-the-art technology to address injuries to the feet, ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows and hands. While we always look for non-surgical solutions, our team might recommend surgical options when conservative care is not making progress. When considering the best course of care, our team evaluates each patient’s medical needs, history and lifestyle goals.
Dr. Diehl, Dr. Maurer and Dr. Lessner have worked diligently to become recognized as one of the area’s top sports medicine physician providers.
