Lehigh Valley's Sports Medicine Specialists 

Sports-Related Injuries Treated by Board-Certified Orthopedic Specialists

The more frequently we play sports, the more we put ourselves at risk of sustaining a muscle, ligament or bone injury. OAA became the first clinic in Lehigh Valley to offer a sports medicine program when we hired the area’s leading orthopedic surgeons with fellowship training in sports medicine. Today, our experience with sport-related injuries is the most extensive, allowing us to focus on individualized quality care for everyone.

If you’re ready to get back in the game after a sports injury, schedule your appointment with OAA today.

FAQs on Sports Medicine

What are the most common sports injuries you treat?

Our sports medicine professionals are trained to treat most any condition that walks through our doors. Some of the most common conditions our sports medicine physicians see at OAA include:

  • Elbow injuries, which often occur in sports that require people to throw frequently and at high speeds.
  • Head injuries, including concussions, which should always be treated by a medical professional right away.
  • Knee injuries, including anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, which account for 40% of all sports-related injuries.
  • Foot and ankle injuries, including strains and sprains.
  • Hand and wrist injuries, including fractures, sprains and tendonitis.
  • Shoulder injuries, including rotator cuff injuries, which are common in people who perform repetitive overhand motions (swimmers, tennis players).
  • Dislocations, especially in the shoulders or fingers.

Will I need surgery for my sports injury?

The expert team of sports medicine physicians at OAA will do everything they can to get their patients safely back in the game with a non-surgical approach. However, should surgery turn out to be the best option for you, our broad range of minimally invasive treatment options help patients bounce back stronger and better than ever.

What makes the Sports Medicine Institute at OAA unique?

Our team of qualified physicians has treated members of the Parkettes, Philadelphia Eagles, U.S. Open Tennis Tournament players, members of the NFL Player’s Association, the U.S. National Women’s Soccer Team, and Walt Disney’s World of Sports. 

That said, even though we have the expertise to treat professional athletes, our top-tier sports medicine services are for everyone. Whether our patients have been plagued with multiple injuries or are experiencing pain for the first time, our sports medicine experts will create a comprehensive treatment plan to minimize downtime and help them return to the sports they love.
