SPORTS MEDICINE DOCTORS NEAR YOU PROVIDING THE TREATMENT YOU NEED

Wichita Orthopedic Sports Medicine Treatment

Meet our sports medicine physicians and learn about our treatment options for sports related injuries.

Whether you’re a once-in-a-while jogger, weekend pick-up game participant, or full-fledged student/professional athlete, the physicians here at Mid-America Orthopedics understand the pain and frustration of being injured. Our experienced sports medicine doctors specialize in helping athletes of all levels overcome sports related injuries so they can get back in the game with confidence.

From expert diagnosis and cutting-edge treatment options to customized physical therapy, our sports medicine physicians and support staff are your single destination provider for sports- or exercise-related injuries. Our physicians have decades of combined experience in orthopedic sports medicine and treat every patient like the unique individual that they are.

Fortunately, many sports-related injuries can be treated with rest and at-home remedies such as ice/heat therapy, elevation, compression, and over-the-counter anti-inflammatories Advil or Aleve. If these treatments fail, it may be beneficial to schedule an appointment with one of our sports medicine physicians for further evaluation and treatment.

At your first visit, your sports med physician will determine the best care plan for you and establish an estimated timeline for your recovery. Treatment options may include: physical therapy and rehabilitation, athletic training, activity modification, neuromuscular retraining, autologous blood product injections, steroid injections, advanced imaging, and – as a last resort – surgical treatment.

If you’ve been suffering with a sports-related injury that’s either been recently incurred or is chronic, then it’s time to contact the experienced sports medicine doctors near you at Mid-America Orthopedics in Wichita, KS.
