Sports Medicine is not just for competitive athletes, but is a medical specialty that serves any individual with a musculoskeletal injury or pain who seeks to be more active than their medical condition allows. Triangle Orthopaedics Sports Medicine utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to the prevention of injury, restoring of physical function, and performance enhancement among athletes and physically active individuals. We offer a coordinated program geared toward diagnosis, evaluation, operative/non-operative treatment and education. The orthopaedic service is augmented by on-site physical and aquatic therapy. Conditions treated may be due to injury, disease, or to the normal process of aging or disuse. The focus is on those injuries affecting the knee, shoulder, ankle, and elbow, among other areas. We strive to continuously improve our service to both competitive and non-competitive athletes. We are committed to providing the best orthopaedic care for student athletes of local schools. We serve as the team physicians for all of the local schools in the communities where we practice, as well as the Durham Bulls AAA Baseball Club of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Sports Medicine Outreach Program
Due to an increasing emphasis on athletics in the Triangle and surrounding counties, Triangle Orthopaedics has developed a specific outreach to these athletes. We are continually working to comprise a sports medicine team that incorporates sports medicine physicians, athletic trainers, physical therapists/occupational therapists, and many other healthcare professionals in effort to care for the physically active. Whether the athlete participates in high school athletics, club sports, or is a weekend warrior; we serve the communities where we practice and where you live.
