When to seek a sports medicine evaluation:

  • Area over or around the injured joint is tender to touch 
  • Injured area looks crooked or has lumps and bumps (other than swelling) 
  • Unable to walk without pain

  • You see redness or red streaks spreading from injury
  • Pain, swelling, or redness over injured area
  • Decreased performance

Insurance Information for Youth Athletes

Most insurers do not require an official referral from a primary care physician for injuries sustained in athletic competition.

In addition to your primary insurance, you most likely have “Secondary” or School sponsored insurance plan (this is mandatory for all high-school and college athletes and required by your Athletic Association). This secondary insurance plan will help to cover any additional expenses not covered by your primary insurance plan. To assist you and for your convenience, we will file both primary and secondary insurance claims.
