Evergreen Family Health is excited to offer a dedicated consultation service for community musculoskeletal and sport medicine concerns:

Evergreen Sports Medicine brings together a team of experienced medical practitioners with unique training in the care of athletes and active people of all ages. As primary care sports medicine providers, our goals are to expand access to the immediate care of acute pediatric and adult injuries and to treat chronic injuries, arthritis, or medical issues impairing your ability to be active – with the ultimate focus on guiding your return to activity.

We are able to assess and manage difficult conditions including gait issues for both children and adults, fractures, concussion, as well as athletic performance concerns. We accept referrals from your primary care physician, physical therapist, chiropractor, athletic trainer, naturopath, or coach, We then work closely with them after your consultation to get you back to full function. When needed, we quickly coordinate care with the best local and regional orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists, and medical specialists.

IMPORTANT: These services ARE available for NON-Evergreen Family Health patients as well as our primary care patients. A referral from your primary care provider, physical therapist, or chiropractor is helpful but not mandatory.

What is Sports Medicine?

Sports medicine doctors and physician assistants specialize in treating musculoskeletal injuries (involving bone, muscle, tendon, or ligaments) as well as exercise-related conditions like concussion, exercise-induced cough and overtraining symptoms. The doctors at Evergreen Sports Medicine are primary care sports medicine doctors and do not perform surgery. Instead we are experts in the non-surgical methods of treatment (often called “conservative treatment”) including ultrasound evaluation of the musculoskeletal system, injection-based therapies (steroid or platelet-rich plasma injections) and splinting or casting of fractures. As providers with backgrounds in primary care medicine, we also understand the interactions between your chronic medical conditions and your exercise goals.

The providers at Evergreen Sports Medicine consider your medical care to be a team effort. We want to work closely with your primary care providers to optimize your health. We also have strong relationships with the physical therapists and orthopedic surgeons in the region, and we are able to quickly refer you to their care when it is needed as part of your road towards full recovery.
