Sports Medicine
Our Sports
Medicine program provides care to all athletes, from the high-performance
professional to the weekend warrior and recreational exerciser. A sports injury
can be frightening. Whether you are a seasoned or recreational athlete, a
sports injury can be devastating to your exercise routine, as well as your work
and home life. In the Palos Community Hospital Sports Medicine Program, we
understand these concerns and share your desire to return to your competitive
work-out routine and normal lifestyle. Through advanced physical assessment and
state-of-the art diagnostic technology, physicians can diagnosis and begin
treating sports conditions rapidly and with the goal of returning you to a
normal level of activity quickly.
If surgery is
indicated, one of our sports medicine physicians will discuss the most
appropriate surgical treatment for your specific condition. Out comprehensive
preoperative education program takes a patient step-by-step through the process
of preparing for surgery and the course or care during the hospital stay. This
education program will answer questions, alleviate gears and allow the patient
to partner with the hospital to optimize care throughout the surgery and
recovery period. This equates to superior care.
