Holy Name Medical Centers Sports Medicine Program is dedicated to treating and preventing injuries related to sports and exercise. The highly skilled staff specializes in helping patients maintain their health and recover from sports-related conditions such as concussions and over-use injuries.

Patients and staff members work together to create individualized exercise and treatment plans that help speed up recovery and address individual needs, from cardiac rehabilitation to Tommy John shoulder conditions.

Directed by J. Christopher Mendler, MD, a board-certified sports medicine specialist, the comprehensive hospital-based program is much more than a single medical practice. The collaborative effort of specialists from varied disciplines helps patients get game ready as quickly and safely as possible.

In addition to addressing general sports injuries, the Sports Medicine Program specializes in the following:

J. Christopher Mendler, MD

Dr. Mendler is board certified and has practiced in sports medicine for more than 15 years in private practice, collegiate-based offices, and hospitals. He has worked with athletes of all levels and abilities, serving as a team physician for high school, college, and professional organizations, including team physician for USA-Triathlon in the 1999 World Championships Long Course Triathlon, held in Sweden. He also provided care at the 2012 US Championship Ironman Triathlon, held in New York and New Jersey. Currently, Dr. Mendler is team physician for several area high schools and colleges.

Dr. Christopher Mendler and his staff have the expertise to evaluate and manage all types of sports and activity related concerns, from sprained ankles and tibia stress fractures to tennis elbow and Little Leaguers shoulder. They provide highly skilled care to a variety of patients youngsters, classic weekend warriors, recreational walkers and gardeners, as well as elite level athletes.

During visits, patients should wear comfortable clothes that accommodate their injury. Please bring any records or test results created by a previous provider as these can be very helpful in designing a treatment plan.

New patients should arrive a few minutes prior to their appointment to allow time to complete necessary paperwork. Feel free to download the Patient Intake Forms to facilitate the visit.

Holy Names Sports Medicine Program has been treating and managing concussions long before the state passed a law requiring that any high school athlete suspected of having a concussion be cleared by a physician to return to practice or games.

Dr. Christopher Mendler and his staff use a combination of traditional clinical assessments combined with computer-based balance appraisals and cognitive screening tools (including ImPACT and AXON testing) to evaluate suspected concussions. They also review diverse areas of brain function, such as memory and concentration, balance and coordination, and behavioral and physical changes to best determine the absence, presence, or resolution of a concussion.

No two concussions are alike so staff members individualize treatment plans for each patient while following best practice guidelines. The goal is to get the athlete back on the field as soon as it is safe and appropriate to do so.

Staff members work with active treatment protocols in athletes with persistent post-concussive syndrome when the approach is determined to be effective.

Dr. Christopher Mendler is a recognized Certified ImPACT Consultant (CIC) provider for schools and athletic programs that utilize the ImPACT computer-based concussion management tools.

The traditional medical model has long focused on treating injuries after they occur. Holy Name Medical Centers Sports Medicine Program goes beyond this focal point and strives to help patients reach their goals, be it recreational ball or an Olympic dream: Faster, Higher, Stronger.

A menu of Athletic Performance Assessment options is available to meet individual needs and goals:

Regardless of ability level, the Sports Medicine Program can help patients reach their health, wellness and fitness goals.

The Sports Medicine Program at Holy Name Medical Center is just as committed to educating patients and their caregivers as it is to patient treatment and care. It provides a number of educational programs geared towards patients, parents, athletes, coaches, officials, certified athletic trainers, nurses, physicians and others. Programs are offered at HNH Fitness in Oradell and Holy Name in Teaneck.

Rutgers S.A.F.E.T.Y. Program - This program, developed by the Rutgers University Youth Sports Council, provides the standard curriculum for volunteer coaches required by many recreation and municipal athletic programs to meet the legal requirements of New Jerseys Little League Law. For information or to register, email mendler@holyname.org.

Dr. Christopher Mendler is available for speaking engagements at organizations locations. He has been a featured speaker on several television and radio programs, given numerous interviews for newspaper and magazine articles and has lectured at national professional meetings. Dr. Mendler also provides workshops for medical professionals, school systems and athletic programs.

Certified Athletic Trainers are employed in secondary schools, colleges, universities, professional sports, hospitals, the military, law enforcement, performing arts, industry, sports medicine clinics and the durable medical equipment industry.

A career as a Certified Athletic Trainer requires a bachelor's degree at the entry level.

Doctors at the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Childrens Hospital offer unique approaches to pediatric sports medicine for children and teens of all ages. We care for young athletes at every level, from seasonal athletes to elite competitors.

Our care ranges from pre-participation physicals to advanced treatment of non-surgical sports injuries. We are experts in sports injuries affecting the shoulders, knees, and ankles. These conditions are often more difficult to treat in children than in adults, due to growth and development issues.

Our primary care pediatric sports medicine specialist -- the first in Chicago -- is nationally recognized for her expertise and serves as chair of the Illinois Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics' committee on sports medicine and fitness. She is also a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine.

We care for children and adolescents with a range of orthopaedic conditions and sports-related injuries, including:

We work closely with parents, coaches, and other specialists and subspecialists to provide customized care plans to fit your child or teens specific needs. We can provide consultation on sports readiness, strength training, and general conditioning for sports.

The most advanced diagnostic therapies are available, including CT and MRI testing performed in Comer Childrens. Most of the problems we encounter can be treated medically, without surgery. But when surgery is needed, our doctors can assess your childs options and collaborate with surgeons on the best approach for your child or teen. Our pediatric sports medicine specialist works closely with our expert pediatric surgical team to identify problems and resolve them.

We provide multidisciplinary care for young female athletes at every level. We have extensive expertise in treating knee ligament injuries, a common problem in teen athletes.
