Sports Injury Clinic in Phoenix, AZ

Sports medicine involves the treatment and prevention of injuries related to sports and exercise. Our doctors practice sports medicine while already specializing in other medical disciplines such as family medicine or orthopedic surgery. Our doctors are Board Certified with one to two years of additional training related to sports medicine. As our team, Drs. Waslewski, Freedberg, Ferry, Peterson, Mitchell and Cohen bring more than two decades of specialized medical training and experience. Staff also share additional expertise and experience that greatly contribute to patient outcomes. Working together for many years at Arizona Sports Medicine Center, a top-notch sports injury clinic in Phoenix, AZ, we are dedicated to helping those who seek help from sports medicine practitioners.

This branch of medicine is comprised of a team of medical professionals led by a physician including physical therapists, certified athletic trainers, and registered dieticians. Just as a group of athletes must work together, so must a sports medicine team in order to facilitate the best outcome for their patient.

Individuals who benefit from sports medicine include:

• Professional Athletes
• Children & Teens Participating in Sports
• Adults who Exercise for Personal fitness

When an athlete sustains an injury during a sporting match, or any other sports related injury, a doctor who specializes in sports medicine will most likely treat them. A physical therapist will then work with that athlete to ensure they recover safely and effectively in order to return to their regular practice and tournament schedule.

Injuries treated within the realm of sports medicine are generally acute or due to overuse and do not require surgery. Examples include:

• Ankle Sprains
• Muscle Strains
• Knee & Shoulder Injuries
• Fractures
• Tendonitis
• Injection Therapies for Osteoarthritis

Sports medicine involves so much more than treating and recovering from injuries. Additional goals include helping athletes:

• Maximize Performance
• Cope with Chronic Illness like Diabetes
• Understand Nutritional Education
• Implement Injury Prevention
