This year, over 50% of injuries will be orthopaedic related1. Workers will pull muscles, and experience sore backs from sitting at a desk all day. Children will hurt themselves at play. Someone will develop arthritis that will prevent them from their favorite hobby. Currently employees in the U.S. lose more than 147 million days of work a year2 and children stay home from school 21 million days a year1 because of musculoskeletal injuries. These people need special attention, rehabilitation or even surgery to repair the pain.
Here at Florida Sports, Orthopaedic and Spine Medicine, we take our patient's pain seriously. We want each patient to leave feeling better. Our doctors have excellent credentials and years of experience in treating these sorts of injuries. Whether you pulled a muscle while exercising or if you need surgery, we are here to make you feel better!
Florida Sports, Orthopaedic & Spine Medicine provides physical therapy services in-house. The natural connection between orthopaedics and therapy gives our patients the added advantage of a close working relationship between the physician and therapist.
This communication between the physician and the therapist is a key component to the patient's progress. By having this service
available in our office, the
patient can receive a "beginning to end" approach to care.
The Therapy Department takes appointments during regular office
