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.
Experienced Team
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.

Advanced Care
At St. Francis, your surgeon has access to
state-of-the-art facilities and the latest technology – which can mean easier surgeries, less scarring and
a faster recovery. And because you’re at St. Francis, you receive the highest
quality of care from our staff. We provide a range of technologies to help
your physician properly diagnose your condition, including advanced imaging equipment that
produces incredibly detailed scans in a very short time. We also offer state-of-the-art
surgical facilities designed and equipped to accommodate complex, multi-dimensional
procedures as well as the most commonly performed surgeries. Throughout the entire
surgical experience, our caring, highly-trained staff supports
surgeons during surgery, families who are waiting, and patients both before and
after their operations.
675-HURT Hotline
The 675-HURT hotline is
St. Francis Sports Medicine’s 24/7 concierge service for sports injury care. When you experience a sports
injury, calling 675-HURT gets you in touch with a medical professional who can
offer instructions for at-home treatment and advice for next steps.
If needed, you’ll also receive priority appointment times with our elite network
physicians, or call-ahead service at
St. Francis’ Emergency Departments, significantly reducing wait times. The professionals at 675-HURT even assist
in scheduling post-visit appointments,
like physical therapy or
rehabilitation, as prescribed by
your doctor.
675-HURT is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so even injuries that
occur after hours or on the weekend get prompt attention.
Rehabilitation Services
Our support doesn’t end after you’re discharged from the hospital. To get you
back in action, our
Outpatient Rehabilitation program offers physical therapy that helps re-train your body and return you to full
function. We offer a core strengthening program and can help identify areas of
muscle imbalance – both of which reduce the chance of future injuries.
