Expert care that gets you back in the game.
Almost nine million sports-related injuries are reported in the U.S. each year. While some injuries might heal with an ice pack and some bedrest, others could require the attention of highly trained orthopedic specialists to achieve full recovery. Our sports medicine team diagnoses and treats a wide range of injuries and conditions—from stress fractures and ACL tears, to shoulder pain and runner’s knee. We work with patients of all ages, including professional, college and youth athletes. Speak with a sports medicine expert.

Industry Leaders in Orthopedics
We prioritize non-operative procedures whenever possible. When a surgical procedure is the best option to treat severe sports-related injuries and conditions, our orthopedic surgeons apply the most advanced methods.We’re here and ready to support you at every step.
Procedures we offer include the following.
- Musculoskeletal Ultrasound: A safe, non-invasive and radiation-free diagnostic procedure using sound waves to produce real-time images of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and nerves. It can help diagnose sprains, tears and chronic conditions and is used for guiding injections or therapeutic treatment.
- Orthopedic Injections: These targeted, non-surgical interventions, such as ultrasound guided corticosteroid injections, deliver medication directly to the injured joint, tendon or muscle. They are designed to relieve pain, restore function and accelerate healing to safely get back to activity.
- Concussion Management: A concussion, a traumatic brain injury where the brain moves rapidly back and forth within the skull, can be caused by a fall, or a bump or blow to the head or body. In these cases, our specialists provide thorough evaluation, treatment and return-to-play/work guidance to ensure optimal recovery and long-term brain health.
The primary goal of our robust orthopedics team is to restore movement and function in the damaged areas of your body so that you can return to normal routines. Speak with a sports medicine specialist at Bayhealth about treatment options.
