Providing orthopedic care for Minnesota athletes and sports teams

We understand the hard work, sweat and tears that athletes put into their sports. Because of this, we also know that if an athlete gets injured, they want to get back in the game as quickly and safely as possible.

Our team provides care for athletes of all skill levels and ages, from professional sports teams to high school and amateur sports leagues. No matter the injury, our sports medicine specialists will assess and treat it as quickly and effectively as possible. Alongside them, our physical therapists and athletic trainers support athletes in injury rehabilitation, conditioning and more.
