Community and Athletic Partnerships
Riverside Sports Medicine understands that prevention and wellness are important to a successful sports team’s season. So, we’re dedicated to helping keep your entire team competitive. That means keeping you in the game with injury-prevention programming and helping you return to play quickly and safely after an injury.
Multidisciplinary, team-based approach
The physicians at Riverside Orthopedic Specialists are board-certified and fellowship-trained in various subspecialties within their area of expertise. In addition, we proudly support our local community by offering orthopedic services to athletes and sports teams of all skill levels, from recreational, middle and high school to college and club sports.
Providing complete sports medicine care
We partner with local colleges and high schools to offer teams comprehensive sports medicine services. These partnerships allow us to practice medicine on your sidelines, when you need us most. Through Riverside athletic partnerships, we take the time to get to know your organization and the goals of your teams and individual athletes so we can tailor our services to meet your needs.
Because we provide complete care – from prevention and education through injury support, rehab and beyond – Riverside Health can help ensure your athletes have the care they need to perform at their highest level, safely.
