Non-Surgical Orthopedics and Sports Medicine
When you need orthopedic care, it affects your life in ways that few other things do, because it affects your very ability to get around like you used to.
The Non-surgical Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Clinic provides quality orthopedic health care to patients of all ages. We focus on the evaluation and management of orthopedic injuries to determine their initial or total management without surgical intervention.
Our multidisciplinary team of professionals work together to improve the quality of life for our patients. They provide a broad spectrum of medical orthopedic care, including fracture management and treatment of overuse injuries, joint pain and arthritis. Our physicians, certified athletic trainers, and nursing staff strive to safely manage and treat injuries and orthopedic conditions. They work very closely with CMC’s orthopedic surgeons and refer to them when needed. They also work with orthopedic sub-specialists when needed.
Services and Programs
- Management of orthopedic injuries and conditions.
- Management of arthritic joints, including therapy and medication recommendations and/or injections.
