Reid Health offers a variety of ways to care for athletic injuries or muscle or bone issues in active adults. Sports medicine relates to the care and treatment of individuals who have become injured playing a sport, exercising, or engaging in other physical activities. The ultimate goal of sports medicine is recovery -- quickly and fully -- so you can get back to the activities you enjoy the most.
Reid Health Sports Medicine is available for student-athletes to active adults. Even if you don't participate in a sport or physical activity, sports medicine can help care for patients with injuries, pains, and strains caused by physically demanding jobs.
Our team is comprised of a variety of experts -- from sports medicine providers to certified athletic trainers. Each team member partners with patients to achieve a full recovery and prevent future injuries from happening.

A concussion is a brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that can change the way your brain normally works. It can also occur from a fall or a blow to the body that causes the head and brain to move quickly. When treated properly, concussions are usually not life-threatening, but their effects can be serious.
Common symptoms include:
Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room if you experience seizures, slurred speech, varying pupil sizes/abnormally large pupils, double or blurry vision, severe neck pain, amnesia, intense headache that continues to get worse, severe neck pain, nausea or vomiting.
Reid Health Sports Medicine providers are Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) certified. The ImPACT model promotes the highest level of care and a safe return to play for athletes of all ages, from children (starting at age 10) to collegiate and professional athletes.
