Sports Medicine Care in Medford & Grants Pass
Start with clear answers
Helping athletes recover and return to activity safely
Know what’s behind your pain before deciding what comes next.
Sports injuries can affect more than your ability to play. They can make it harder to work, train, stay active, or keep up with daily life.
Southern Oregon Orthopedics provides sports medicine care for student athletes, recreational athletes, weekend warriors, and active adults in Medford and Grants Pass. Our team evaluates activity-related injuries, helps identify what is causing your symptoms, and recommends a care plan focused on recovery, movement, and a safe return to activity.
When to see a specialist
It may be time to schedule an evaluation if:
- Pain from a sports injury is not improving
- Swelling, weakness, or instability is affecting how you move
- An injury is keeping you from staying active
- Symptoms return when you resume activity
- You have a recent injury that needs prompt orthopedic evaluation
You do not have to be a professional athlete to benefit from sports medicine care. If pain or dysfunction related to exercise, activity, or a sports injury is limiting the way you move, it is worth getting evaluated.

Diagnosis and treatment
How sports injuries are diagnosed
A clear diagnosis helps your specialist recommend the right treatment
Accurate diagnosis and timely treatment are important in sports medicine care. Southern Oregon Orthopedics uses diagnostic evaluation to assess injuries, identify the source of pain or dysfunction, and develop an individualized treatment plan.
Diagnostic services may include: digital X-ray, MRI, CT scan and ultrasound imaging.
Treatment options
Care may begin with nonsurgical options before surgery is considered
Many sports injuries can be treated without surgery. Southern Oregon Orthopedics is committed to exploring nonsurgical options first when appropriate, with treatment plans designed around each patient’s injury, goals, and recovery needs. Treatment options may include:
- Rest, ice, compression, and elevation
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation
- Bracing or taping
- Anti-inflammatory medications
- Corticosteroid injections
- Orthobiologics
- Arthroscopic surgery for joint injuries, when necessary
- ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, meniscus repair or removal, and fracture fixation with internal or external fixation, when necessary
