StemCell Therapy

Our multidisciplinary team of sports medicine professionals provide injured athletes with a physician-directed program of treatment, rehabilitation and conditioning. We offer the state's largest group of fellowship-trained sports medicine physicians.

Orthopaedic surgeons

Nationally and internationally recognized for their progressive technique in reconstructive procedures to repair ligaments and tendons, our orthopaedic surgeons are on the leading edge in their use of other surgical techniques in sports medicine. This includes meniscal transplantation, articular cartilage transplantation and other state-of-the-art arthroscopic procedures. Our surgeons will perform any needed surgery and be involved, along with the patient's primary care physician, in follow-up care. We also help patients recover from less serious injuries that may not require surgery.

Certified athletic trainers

Our athletic trainers, licensed by the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure and nationally certified by the National Athletic Trainers Association Board of Certification, are responsible for the care, prevention, evaluation and treatment of all athletic injuries. They provide medical services through our outreach program in local and regional high school athletics and community athletic activities. Additionally, they work alongside our physicians in each clinic acting as a physician extender by assisting in such activities like patient education and brace fitting.
