Sports are great for our minds and muscles, but they’re also hard on our bodies. The more frequently we play, the more we put ourselves at risk for sustaining injury. In 1989, OAA became the first clinic in the region to offer a sports medicine program when we hired the area’s first orthopedic surgeon with fellowship training in sports medicine. Today, our experience with sport-related injuries is the most extensive in the Lehigh Valley.
If you’re ready to get back in the game after a sports injury, schedule your appointment with OAA today.

Elbow injuries, which often occur in athletes who 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 athletes who perform repetitive overhand motions (swimmers, tennis players).
Dislocations, especially in the shoulders or fingers.
