Non-Operative Rehabilitation & Minimally-Invasive Surgery

For athletes and active people, injuries can be frustrating, side lining you from sports and everyday activities.

At Trinity Health Of New England, we are a leading sports medicine program, offering more than just orthopedics. From injury prevention to leading edge injury treatment, we treat the whole athlete, not just the injury.

Our goal is the promotion and maintenance of an active lifestyle through non-operative rehabilitation programs and when necessary, minimally-invasive arthroscopic surgical techniques. Our comprehensive services range from expert diagnosis and treatment of sports and activity-related injuries, to injury prevention, and sports-health education. Our team includes board-certified and fellowship-trained sports medicine specialists with experience caring for amateur, college and professional athletes.

Timely treatment of concussions is extremely important and we know a delay in diagnosis and treatment can mean an athlete struggles with prolonged symptoms. Our sports medicine program provides the most up-to-date care for athletes, putting the latest research to use, working as a team to evaluate, treat and return the athlete back to play in an efficient and safe way.

For injuries that require surgery, outpatient procedures are performed at our state-of-the-art facilities throughout the region. Our sports medicine specialists offer care to prevent future injuries, manage injuries, and maximize recovery and performance.
