Trusted sports medicine partners
Mass General Brigham sports medicine experts serve as team physicians and care providers for athletes competing at the highest levels, including the New England Patriots, Boston Bruins, and New England Revolution, as well as many competitive local college and high school athletic programs.
This high-profile experience informs every aspect of our care. The same evidence-based injury prevention strategies, diagnostic expertise, and treatment approaches we use on the sidelines and in training facilities are applied to the care of all our patients — from elite athletes to people staying active for health, fitness, and everyday life.
Our clinicians also provide on-field coverage, injury evaluation, and return-to-play guidance, translating real-world sports experience into thoughtful, patient-centered care.
Our approach to sports medicine care
Many sports injuries can be managed without surgery. Depending on your condition and goals, non-surgical treatment may include:
- Physical therapy to strengthen muscles and improve movement mechanics
- Activity modification and injury prevention education
- Bracing or supportive devices
- Regenerative medicine options when appropriate
- Medications or injections to reduce pain and inflammation
We perform advanced procedures to repair injuries and restore joint function, including:
- Arthroscopic repair of ligaments, tendons, or cartilage
- Stabilization procedures for joint instability
- Reconstruction of torn ligaments such as the ACL
- Other joint-preserving or corrective surgical techniques
Surgical decisions are made in partnership with you, with a focus on long-term joint health and activity goals.
