Sports Medicine
Columbus Orthopaedic physicians have been chosen as the team doctors for sports medicine and orthopedics for Mississippi State University and many local school athletic programs. Frequently, you will see them on the sidelines or on the field evaluating athletes, accessing injuries and determining the safety of the athlete to return to the game.
Our specially trained orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine specialists, spine surgeons and pain management specialist provide the highest quality of care to athletes of every level for every sports injury. From high school to collegiate to recreational, our goal is to help every athlete get back into the game and compete at their highest potential. Our team will work with you every step of the way and create personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs. Our full scope of services includes injury evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation, follow-up evaluations, sport testing and sport training.
Our sports medicine team of orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists and nurse practitioners provide comprehensive care to each patient. A majority of our physicians, therapists and assistants are former athletes who have personally undergone sports injuries and rehabilitation. Using their own personal experience, they are able to relate to each patient and understand the unique set of challenges athletes endure during the injury and rehabilitation process. They are also able to balance the athletes desire to get back to their sport with the need for rest, recovery and restart activities.
Our Clinic is equipped with advanced, state–of-the art equipment to help patients achieve their goals and return to their sport. Using a variety of specialized therapy techniques allows us to restore mobility, increase flexibility and regain strength.
