Taking care of an injured athlete is more than applying a sophisticated brace. It is the skilled hands-on evaluation and appropriate diagnostic testing that determine the best overall plan of care; remembering first and foremost, that it's not another injured athlete but a human being.

Our sports medicine physicians and surgeons have particular expertise in the care of sports-related injuries. If it is at all possible, they prefer non-surgical solutions. If surgery is the right solution, McLeod Human Motion Specialists physicians have the training and skill you can be confident in.
