Sports Medicine Services We Offer

Whether you’re a weekend warrior, play on a sports team, or just enjoy occasional physical activities, being sidelined due to a sports injury not only keeps you from the activities you enjoy, but can also affect your day-to-day well-being and quality of life.

At MedStar Orthopaedic Institute, located throughout the Washington, D.C. region, we provide comprehensive and personalized treatment options for a wide variety of sports-related health conditions to help you get back to your best level of performance and strength. Our team of orthopedic specialists are fellowship-trained from the top schools and provide care for some of the nation’s most elite athletes, including the Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards. No matter your level of competition, we are dedicated to helping you return to your active life as quickly and safely as possible.

Our sports medicine physicians are:

• Trained and exclusively specialize in sports medicine
• Experienced in using the most innovative techniques for treating sports injuries
• Helping advance the field of sports medicine by training others around the nation and researching new techniques
• Able to treat some sports injuries using minimally invasive techniques, which result in a smaller incision, less pain, and a shorter recovery period
• Able to provide you with access to a sophisticated sports medicine rehabilitation program, helping you recover with the best possible results

MedStar Orthopaedic Institute is a multidisciplinary network, which is home to leaders in a wide range of specialties. Our doctors are part of an integrated care delivery network, where our therapists, radiologists, and therapists all work together to treat you as effectively as possible. We always look for non-operative care first, moving on to surgical sports medicine care only when appropriate.

We work closely with other MedStar physicians who provide the following additional services:

• In-house bracing
• General injections
