Emory’s Approach to Treating Sports Injuries

If you are an active person, a weekend warrior, or competitive athlete, an injury can disrupt your active lifestyle. To get back to the activities you love, you need to achieve the best possible outcome after a sports injury.

At Emory Sports Medicine Center, you have access to a broad range of services to care for sports injuries that affect bones, muscles and tendons. We provide evaluation and treatment of sports-related injuries for athletes of all ages, at all levels, in all sports, as well as pediatric sports patients, grade school and high school, collegiate or professional athletes. We commonly treat conditions like ACL tears, rotator cuff tears, knee injuries and more.

Emory Sports Medicine Center's November 2020 running medicine conference features running medicine experts discussing current and relevant topics relating to the health and wellness of runners of all levels and generations. We also highlight our new partnership with the Atlanta Track Club's Elite Athlete program.

From medical evaluations, exercise counseling and rehabilitation to innovative surgical treatments, our team helps you get the care you need to return to an active lifestyle and prevent future injuries. Our dedicated facilities located across the Atlanta metro area allow close coordination between your sports medicine physician and therapists so you can benefit from a team approach to care. Our excellent physical therapy and rehabilitation services - so crucial to recovery from sports injuries – combine the talents of certified athletic trainers and physical therapists with modern exercise facilities. 

Emory Sports Medicine Center helps you receive all the benefits of an academic health center, from access to the latest research and innovative care to the most recent technology for analyzing movement. As part of Emory Healthcare – Georgia’s most comprehensive academic health system – you’ll have access to specialized, advanced care years before it’s widely available. We help pioneer new sports medicine treatments and techniques every day, all designed to help you get back to an active life.
