Sports Medicine

Living with a sports injury can be frustrating, whether it’s keeping you off the field, away from the gym, or even slowing you down at work. At the Tulane Institute of Sports Medicine, we understand how important it is for you to stay active and pain-free. That’s why our team of specialists is dedicated to providing expert care that helps you heal quickly, safely, and confidently.

Many of our surgeons and non-surgeons are experts in diagnosing and treating sports medicine injuries. Our doctors have advanced training and are not only board-certified in orthopaedic surgery, but some have also received further board certification specifically in sports medicine. We treat a wide range of sports injuries in a diverse patient population. Whether you are a weekend warrior, student, college, or professional athlete, our goal is to help you get back to the activities you enjoy. Additionally, we treat individuals who have experienced a sports-type injury during their everyday activities or at work. We treat these “industrial athletes” with the same philosophy that we treat our traditional athletes to get them back to work quickly and stronger than before.

Our patients benefit from the most up-to-date treatments and therapies. If non-surgical methods are ineffective, we will thoroughly discuss all surgical options with you. We utilize minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques, designed to accelerate recovery and enhance safety, our athletes to return to their passions as swiftly as possible.

At TISM, you’ll never feel like just another patient. Our team listens, creates a treatment plan just for you, and supports you every step of the way. Whether it’s your first injury or a long-standing issue, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence. Trust us to help you get back in the game!
