Is getting around harder than it used to be? Do simple tasks take their toll long before they should? You’re not alone if you have experienced muscle or joint pain. At Sanford Health there are a team of experts providing specialty orthopedic and sports medicine care to get you back to life as quickly as possible.

Sanford Clinic Orthopedics & Sports Medicine physicians and staff deal daily with broken bones, bone or joint diseases, hand and foot problems, sports injuries, arthritis and pediatric orthopedic conditions along with many other bone/muscle/joint ailments. Our main focus is in the treatment of orthopedic diseases, orthopedic disorders and orthopedic injuries of muscles, bones and joints.

Often times the effects of injuries and illnesses such as arthritis are painful enough to warrant a total joint replacement. The Center for Joint Success is just one example of a program that is dedicated to the care of total knee and total hip replacement patients -- offering unique services through a team concept with the healthcare provider, patient and family members.

Orthopedic Sports Medicine for Athletic Injuries

When an athlete is faced with a sports-related injury, time is essential. The key to getting back in the game is Access… Access to highly specialized Sports Medicine physicians without long waits. Access to medical and rehab equipment. Access to all of the information you need to recover to get back into the game.

Pediatric Orthopedics

When it comes to your child, you want the best of everything. Education. Happiness. And health. If a musculo-skeletal injury threatens your child, look to the pediatric specialist for help. While most orthopedic surgeons can treat children's broken bones and sprains, certain pediatric orthopedic conditions such as scoliosis and Spina bifada require the knowledge and skill of a pediatric orthopedic specialist.

Whether it's back to work, back to play, or both Sanford Clinic Orthopedics & Sports Medicine physicians treat people of all ages and lifestyles – from "weekend warriors" injured during their favorite sport to people with degenerative diseases of the joints or muscles.
