Sports Medicine
Orthopedic Specialties is at the leading edge of advanced sports medicine in the Upstate. Thanks to our highly skilled and experienced staff and advanced technologies, Orthopedic Specialties is able to offer care and services on a par with major metropolitan centers across the country. The fact that our surgeons serve as team physicians for some of Spartanburg's prominent athletic programs, including Wofford College and Converse College, is a tribute to their abilities.
The growing number of patients with sports- and work-related orthopedic pain and injury has accelerated the need for advanced, comprehensive rehabilitative and therapeutic sports medicine. Our focus at Orthopedic Specialties is to provide that care through a commitment to innovation, research, advanced technology and experience. Our goal is to minimize recovery time and return the patient to activity with restored independence and a reduced possibility of further injury.
Our individualized care begins with advanced, in-house diagnostics to evaluate each patient's specific needs and continues through the rehabilitation program. Recovery strategies are developed in coordination with the patient's own expectations for activity after treatment and implemented by the area's most experienced team of specialists in orthopedic surgery and physical and occupational therapy. In every case, all viable alternatives to major surgery are explored and exhausted before more dramatic measures are recommended.
