At Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital, we recognize that weekend warriors deserve the same level of medical treatment as professional athletes. That’s why we offer world-class rehab facilities and top-notch doctors to address your sports injuries.
What is Sports Medicine?
Sports medicine is a branch of orthopedics that focuses on reconstruction, rehabilitation and enhancing athletic performance. The sports medicine specialty diagnoses and treats all types of sports-related conditions and injuries. Whether you have torn your rotator cuff or you simply can’t figure out why your knees hurt when you run, you can turn to our experienced sports medicine doctors for help.
