Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our orthopedic & sports medicine clinic.

Do I need to be an athlete to see Sports Medicine?

No—sports medicine is for active people of all ages, including workers, hikers, teens, adults, and weekend athletes.

When should I see an orthopedic provider?

If you have a fracture, severe joint pain, limited mobility, or symptoms lasting several weeks, orthopedics is the right starting point.

Do I need a referral?

Most patients do not need one, but some insurance plans do. Call us and we’ll walk you through the requirements.

Do you offer same-day or next-day appointments?

Yes - call the clinic for current availability.

What should I bring?

Photo ID, insurance card, medication list, previous imaging, and comfortable clothing for examination. Bring any forms needed for school, work, or concussion clearance.

Do you treat work-related or on-the-job injuries?

Yes. Our sports medicine and orthopedic providers evaluate and treat work-related injuries, and we can coordinate with your employer or workers’ compensation case manager if needed.

Can you help if I’ve already tried physical therapy or injections elsewhere?

Absolutely. Many patients come to us after previous treatments. We can review your history, order updated imaging if necessary, and create a new plan—including advanced treatments or surgical options if appropriate.
