If you have pain or an injury related to sports, fitness or other activities, the sports medicine specialists at Northwestern Memorial Hospital can help.

Unlike your family doctor or primary care physician, a sports medicine specialist is trained to care for athletes and active individuals of all levels. They receive special education and training that focuses on the medical and therapeutic aspects of sports participation and physical activities, and understand what you need to recover from an injury and return to peak performance as quickly as possible.

At Northwestern Memorial Hospital, our sports medicine specialists care for US Olympic teams, as well as Chicago's top professional sports teams and athletes. We also provide joint replacement surgery for retired professional football players.
