Our Specialty
We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of athletic injuries with emphasis on patient
care, education and research. Physicians who have training in the management of
sports injuries are available for consultation on the same day. Consultations by
orthopaedic surgeons are available when necessary.
Inside The Clinic
The
clinic has physiotherapy facilities on-site along with a full range of
orthopedic appliances and soft goods available to treat athletic injuries. Some products, such as
orthotics and knee braces are measured and fitted by an orthopedic technician. Specialized
procedures can also be done at the clinic itself, such as viscosupplementation joint
injection for osteoarthritis.

We have
a commitment to undergraduate medical education. We are associated with the University of

assigns residents on electives to the clinic. During these electives the student is exposed
to the diagnosis and treatment of common athletic injuries. Email Cathy at the clinic
