Injuries can disrupt your lifestyle, whether you’re a professional athlete, a weekend warrior, or simply enjoy staying active. When that happens, you want care from physicians who understand how to help you heal and return to activity safely and effectively. At Southern California Orthopedic Institute (SCOI), our board-certified sports medicine physicians are recognized nationally and internationally for their expertise in orthopedic sports medicine.
Our sports doctors specialize in diagnosing, managing, and treating sports-related injuries using both nonsurgical and surgical approaches. With advanced training in orthopedic sports medicine, our physicians provide comprehensive, individualized care to help patients regain strength, mobility, and confidence.
Sports medicine is a specialized field focused on preventing, diagnosing, and treating injuries related to physical activity and athletics. A sports medicine physician or orthopedic surgeon is uniquely trained to care for conditions involving muscles, bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments.
Whether you are dealing with a sudden injury or a chronic overuse condition, our sports medicine specialists offer solutions designed to help you recover quickly and return to the activities you love.
At SCOI, our fellowship-trained sports medicine physicians and surgeons provide expert care supported by advanced diagnostic tools, minimally invasive procedures, and evidence-based treatment plans.
SCOI’s sports medicine team has proudly served as official team physicians and consultants for a variety of professional, collegiate, and high school sports programs. Our affiliations include:
Our commitment to sports medicine extends beyond the clinic supporting athletes on and off the field.
At SCOI, we tailor treatment plans to the severity of the injury, the patient’s activity level, and their long-term goals. Non-surgical options may include activity modification, bracing, physical therapy, ultrasound-guided injections, and regenerative therapies. When surgery is necessary, we use the latest arthroscopic and minimally invasive techniques for joint repair and ligament reconstruction, ensuring optimal outcomes and faster recovery.
Our sports medicine physicians are experienced in treating a wide range of athletic injuries and conditions affecting the joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. These include ACL injuries, meniscus tears, rotator cuff issues, shoulder dislocations, and fractures, as well as common overuse injuries like tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and tendinitis. We also treat nerve compression syndromes, such as cubital tunnel syndrome, and offer specialized care for concussions. Whether it’s a traumatic injury or a repetitive stress condition, we’re equipped to manage your recovery with skill and precision.
Treatment at SCOI is always personalized and designed to support a safe, complete recovery. Non-surgical options such as physical therapy, bracing, and injection therapy are often the first line of care, helping many patients return to activity without the need for surgery. When surgery is necessary, our surgeons utilize minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques whenever possible, thereby reducing downtime and promoting faster healing. We also offer advanced treatments, such as regenerative medicine, and provide expert management for complex injuries that require ligament reconstruction or joint stabilization.
SCOI has a long history of supporting local athletics and serving as trusted team physicians for schools and sports organizations throughout the region. Our commitment to sports medicine extends beyond our clinics into the community, where we help athletes of all levels stay healthy and perform at their best.

A sports medicine doctor specializes in treating injuries related to physical activity. This includes diagnosing and managing sprains, fractures, joint injuries, and overuse conditions. They help patients recover safely, develop prevention strategies, and return to sports or daily activities.
Not at all. While many of our patients are athletes, we also treat individuals with active lifestyles who experience injuries from recreational activities or exercise. If you’re dealing with joint or muscle pain from physical activity, a sports medicine physician can help.
Suppose you’re experiencing pain, swelling, instability, or loss of function in a joint or muscle that affects your ability to stay active. In that case, it’s a good idea to consult with a sports medicine doctor, especially if symptoms persist despite rest and home care.
Not necessarily. Many sports injuries can be treated non-surgically through rest, physical therapy, injections, and other conservative treatments. If surgery is needed, our team specializes in minimally invasive procedures to help you recover quickly.
Regenerative medicine involves using your body’s own healing cells, such as platelets or stem cells, to repair damaged tissues. It’s often used for tendon injuries, early arthritis, and soft tissue conditions. Your doctor can help determine if it’s appropriate for your injury.
