ACL Treatment
Our board-certified orthopaedic surgeons specialize in comprehensive ACL treatment options, including both surgical reconstruction and non-surgical rehabilitation programs. Utilizing advanced arthroscopic techniques, we help athletes and active individuals recover knee stability and function. Our treatment approach combines diagnostic MRI imaging with personalized physical therapy protocols to optimize recovery outcomes for patients of all activity levels.
MRI Scans
Access Sports Medicine offers state-of-the-art MRI and open MRI services for accurate musculoskeletal diagnosis. Our accredited imaging centers use high-resolution equipment to detect soft tissue injuries, joint abnormalities, and spinal conditions. The non-invasive scans help physicians develop precise treatment plans while minimizing patient discomfort through open design options for claustrophobic individuals.
Physical Therapy
Our licensed physical therapists design customized rehabilitation programs focusing on restoring mobility and reducing pain after injury or surgery. Using evidence-based techniques including therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and modalities, we help patients regain functional independence. The treatment plans address various orthopaedic conditions affecting the knees, shoulders, spine, and other musculoskeletal areas.
Walk-In Injury Clinic
Our Exeter and Portsmouth locations provide no-appointment-necessary walk-in clinics for acute orthopaedic injuries. Patients receive prompt evaluation and treatment for sprains, fractures, dislocations, and sports-related trauma. The clinics offer on-site diagnostic imaging and immediate access to specialist care, ensuring timely intervention without requiring prior scheduling.
Shoulder Replacement
We perform both traditional and reverse shoulder replacement surgeries for patients with severe joint damage from arthritis, fractures, or chronic injuries. Our surgeons use advanced implant technology and minimally invasive techniques to improve recovery times. The comprehensive program includes pre-operative education, surgical intervention, and structured post-operative rehabilitation to maximize shoulder function and pain relief.
