All active people deserve the best sports related care and treatment. At KUMC Sports Rehabilitation we are committed to maximizing abilities; treating injuries; and injury prevention. We provide rapid access to comprehensive care to help you meet your health and performance goals and to get you back on track.

Approximately 90% of all sports injuries are non-surgical, and KUMC Sports Rehabilitation can help guide appropriate rehabilitative care and ancillary services expedite referral to an orthopedic/sports surgeon when indicated.  Common examples of musculoskeletal problems in sports include:

• Acute injuries (such as ankle sprains, muscle strains, knee & shoulder injuries, and fractures)
• Overuse injuries (such as tendonitis, stress fractures)
• Concussions/Mild traumatic brain injuries - diagnosis, management, and clearance.
• Nutrition, supplements, ergogenic aids and performance issues
• Exercise prescription for patients who want to increase their fitness
• Injury prevention
• "Return to play" decisions in the sick or injured athlete
• Strength training and conditioning
• Healthy lifestyle promotion

KUMC Sports Rehabilitation also specializes in many procedures such as ultrasound guided injections such as: viscosupplements; autologous blood injections (ABI); and platelet rich plasma (PRP).
