We've all seen it: the star athlete whose career is cut short by a devastating injury. But for every tragic tale of what might have been, we also see stories of courage and triumph — of athletes battling back to reclaim their glory. That's what MeritCare Sports Medicine is all about — treating, rehabilitating and preventing sports injuries, so people can get back to living full and active lives.
Many facilities offer sports medicine programs, but none in the area is as comprehensive as the program offered by MeritCare. We work with anyone who may be experiencing difficulties which interfere with their daily lives, from a retired golfer with knee pain, to a recreational softball player who has thrown out her arm, to an individual whose leg pain interferes with his ability to walk.
In addition to injury management and rehabilitation, we offer guidance, training and individualized fitness programs designed to help people at any fitness level safely reach their goals.
Our sports medicine services include:
This multidisciplinary approach allows our sports medicine team to evaluate problems from a variety of perspectives and tailor our treatment accordingly. The result is better, more personalized care.
MeritCare dietitians also offer sports nutrition counseling to assist athletes in understanding the latest nutrient recommendations and to help them adjust eating habits to maximize fitness and performance potential.
