From sports physicals for youth athletes to injury evaluation and treatment, our specialists are trained to address a broad range of conditions from overuse injuries to tendonitis to exercise induced asthma and heat illnesses.

The NorthShore Sports Concussion Program includes nationally recognized concussion experts with years of experience in the assessment and treatment of concussions, including the care of professional athletes. We utilize the latest methods of evaluation and treatment for both newly concussed patients and those with lingering symptoms. Our concussion specialists work closely with patients, parents, pediatricians and family medicine physicians, and school systems to create individualized care plans to aid a patient’s return to school and safely back to play.
Sports Health and Performance
A multidisciplinary team provides comprehensive assessments and designs individualized recommendations to help athletes reach peak performance goals through our innovative Sports Health and Performance Program.

Follow-up recommendations continue to generate improved performance.
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Our Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physicians utilize their unique training to focus on return to function and prevention of future injuries by addressing the cause of the injury—not just the symptoms.
