Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group provides adolescent sports medicine services to young athletes across the Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg, FL, area. As the oldest orthopedic practice in town, we have a long-standing reputation of supplying highly specialized care for a broad spectrum of musculoskeletal injuries, including conditions that often affect student athletes. Our young patients are cared for by our Board-certified doctors – sports medicine physician Dr. Arnold Ramirez and orthopedic surgeon Dr. Daniel Murphy. When they are not treating patients at our clinic, Dr. Ramirez cares for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the Head Team Physician, and Dr. Murphy serves on the medical staffs of both the Buccaneers and the New York Yankees.
Teenagers are notoriously tough, but that doesn’t mean they are immune to sustaining injuries while on the playing field. In fact, the National Youth Sports Safety foundation says up to 5 million kids in the U.S. are treated in emergency rooms for sports-related injuries every year. Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group offers continuing adolescent sports medicine services to student athletes with a range of sports injuries, including but not limited to:
- ACL tears
- MCL tears
- Meniscus tears
- Rotator cuff tears
- Labral tears
- Sprains, strains, and fractures
- Many types of knee, hip, shoulder, and ankle injuries
Our physicians take a conservative approach to adolescent sports medicine that, when possible, focuses on restoring comfort, strength, and function through innovative, non-surgical therapies. Our clinic is also staffed with experienced physical therapists, who cater to the unique needs of growing young adults. Combined, the staff at Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group will help your child be the best athlete he or she can be by providing comprehensive and leading-edge care.
