Rothman Orthopaedic Institute Is the Premier Source for Lower East Side Sports Medicine

No athlete wants their sports season to be interrupted by an injury or the treatment and recovery processes that follow.

If you’re a Lower East Side-area athlete who has experienced an orthopaedic sports injury, the first step toward comprehensive recovery is to visit an advanced Lower East Side Sports Medicine specialist at Rothman Orthopaedic Institute.

The Sports Medicine team at Rothman Orthopaedic Institute is proud to offer the following treatment options specifically aimed at addressing the orthopaedic damage associated with sports injuries.

Long-term goals and priorities will be taken into account as your personal treatment regimen is composed. Treatments that will typically be prescribed for non-athletic patients are often insufficient for active athletes planning to return to sports activity. For example, many ligament and tendon tears that can be treated non-operatively among standard patients may be susceptible to repeat ruptures. With that in mind, injured athletes interested in preserving their long-term sports career will often be advised to undergo reconstructive Sports Medicine surgery.

Having access to the expertise of Sports Medicine specialists ensures that you are provided with the most effective care for your particular needs as an athlete.
