Christiana Care Health System Sports
Medicine Services are committed to health care, education and research as a
means to improving the health and fitness of all individuals in the communities
we serve.
Sports medicine is the branch of medicine that
specializes in the prevention and treatment of injuries and illness resulting
from training for and participation in athletic events or the maintenance of a
healthy, active lifestyle. Among the most common sports injuries are shin
splints, runner's knee, pulled hamstring muscles, Achilles tendonitis, and ankle
sprains. We also work with athletes who have concussions, eating
disorders, skin infections and performance issues.
Christiana Care's multidisciplinary network of community
sports medicine clinicians includes sports medicine physicians, orthopedic
surgeons, nurse practitioners, exercise physiologists, physical therapists,
certified athletic trainers, nutritionists, psychologists and speech
pathologists. These specialized services are for athletes of all ages.
Everyone is an Athlete
