The Northside Hospital Sports Medicine Network is a comprehensive program based entirely around the needs of athletes of all ages. Our multidisciplinary sports medicine providers, who are trained in pediatric and adult care, work together to customize plans of care for each individual based on his or her needs.
We offer services that encompass the entire continuum of care, focusing on keeping our athletes healthy and active, with services that facilitate optimal performance. Through preventive care, nutrition counseling and corrective exercise, we help educate you to prevent injuries.
If an injury or illness does occur, our experts use the latest in evidence-based medicine, strengthening and rehab techniques, and if needed, minimally invasive surgery, focusing on safely returning you to your sport as quickly as possible. Under the careful direction of experienced sports medicine physicians, patients are guided through our multidisciplinary team of specialists, who treat more than just injuries, but rather athletes as a whole.
