Imagine how important a shoulder is to a wide receiver or a fullback...Or how important a knee is to a pro hockey player... For professional athletes, their whole career - their life - depends on their bodies performing at their peak. That's why they're so very particular about their doctors - and why so many athletes choose the Michigan sports medicine specialists at Beaumont.

Your shoulders, knees and elbows are just as important to you. That's why you should choose your sports medicine doctors as carefully as the pros do. Beaumont's Michigan sports medicine physicians are some of the most respected in the country and perform the latest therapies and leading-edge procedures. The goal of the doctors, therapists and athletic trainers of Beaumont Sports Medicine is to get you back in the game and keep you there.

Commonly thought of as "athlete's medicine," sports medicine is really a unique approach to the care of injuries and conditions that occur not only in athletes, but also normal, active people.

As a matter of fact, anyone with an injury or condition that limits their activity level can benefit from a sports medicine approach. Whether you are a collegiate athlete, weekend warrior, or sedentary person wishing to get more active, sports medicine applies to you.

The purpose is simple - Get you back into the game - whatever your game may be.

One of the main goals of sports medicine is to put off major orthopedic surgery (such as joint replacement) as long as possible or even remove the need altogether with physical therapy, minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery and timely care.

In an effort to put off or eliminate the need for orthopedic surgery, Beaumont's sports medicine physicians are experts in the field of minimally invasive arthroscopy. Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure where a small incision is made near the site of the injury and a small scope is used to make repairs. With smaller incisions and advanced surgical procedures, arthroscopy has patients active sooner and with less pain.

Some procedures are unique to sports medicine. These can be broken down into categories which include:
