Sports Medicine

Whether you're a high school, college or professional athlete, or one of Southern California's thousands of recreational weekend warriors, you know that staying active is essential to a healthy body and mind.

But when acute injuries or ongoing pain get in the way of the things you enjoy, expert care from a UCI Health sports medicine physician helps you get back on track and prevent future problems.

Our approach to sports medicine

The UCI Health sports medicine program provides you with the best care and treatment, regardless of your age or skill level, by focusing on injury prevention and providing personalized treatment to ensure you remain in optimal health as you pursue your favorite activities.

Having a sports medicine physician who is readily available in case you are injured — and knows your history — takes the worry out of your workout.

Here’s how we can help:

• Assess your injury with advanced imaging like ultrasound.
• Provide therapies like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or joint injections.
• Develop personalized plans for physical therapy and rehabilitation.
• Offer minimally invasive surgeries when needed.

Whether it’s a quick fix or a longer recovery, we’re here to guide you.
