Sports Medicine

If you've suffered a sports injury -- whether you’re an elite athlete or just having fun in the backyard -- St. Francis Sports Medicine has what it takes to get you back in action. Our highly-trained network of physicians, athletic trainers and physical therapists work as a team to treat all types of sports-related injuries; even injuries that don't occur from playing a sport. 

We treat athletes of all levels: elite professionals and college-level athletes, recreational athletes and young people in team sports. Athletes aren’t the only ones who experience sports injuries. Constant keyboarding at work can cause a similar injury to someone who hits too many backhands in tennis. No matter where you fall in the spectrum, we take your unique situation into account and develop a care plan to help you reach the goals you set for yourself.

The St. Francis Sports Medicine team is specially-trained in taking care of sports medicine patients. Our physicians are fellowship-trained, our trainers are nationally board-certified, and our therapists are among the most experienced in the Upstate. These professionals work as a team, communicating your expectations and goals to develop a comprehensive care plan that is unique to your situation. This team approach means that each component of your recovery is managed by a professional who specializes in that area. Meet the Elite >>
