About Sports Medicine
When it comes to sports medicine, you may assume it focuses on helping athletes improve performance, recover from injury and prevent future ones. And while that’s true, it’s not the whole story. Today’s sports medicine physicians treat people of all ages and fitness levels, from students to seniors to elite athletes, with an array of common bone, muscle and joint issues.
Sports medicine specializes in treating your musculoskeletal system, focusing on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of injuries and illnesses related to physical activity. Using the latest technology and treatment advancements, the Summa Health Sports Medicine team offers both surgical and nonsurgical care for conditions like:
- Sprains and strains
- Overuse injuries
- Tendonitis and tendinosis
- Dislocations or fractures
- Stress fractures
- Arthritis
- Sports-related concussions
- Ligament and tendon tears
- Meniscus tears
- Rotator cuff tears
Summa Health Sports Medicine specializes in treating chronic pain so you can stay active, mobile and pain-free – no matter your age or activity level.
Sports Medicine Services
Summa Health Sports Medicine specialists offer same day/next day appointments and expedited referrals to the top orthopedic surgeons.
Surgical Sports Medicine
Our orthopedic sports medicine surgeons treat injuries and conditions – like meniscus tears, rotator cuff tears and rotator cuff tendinitis – with modern, minimally invasive techniques.
Nonsurgical Sports Medicine
Primary care sports medicine specialists focus on maximizing non-surgical treatment benefits, which can help patients recover faster than with surgery.
Athletic Training
Our Ohio-licensed athletic trainers provide services to student-athletes at local high schools and YMCAs.
