Sports Medicine

Sports medicine providers on Frye Regional's medical staff work closely with athletes and weekend warriors alike to help them recover from sports-related injuries. When an injury does occur, sports medicine providers can address the injury and evaluate what further medical attention is needed.

Orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine physicians, physician assistants and athletic trainers work collaboratively to develop a treatment plan tailored to each patient's needs. Often, sports-related injuries are treatable through non-surgical means or minimally invasive procedures.
