OIWK | Sports Medicine Center

The Orthopeadic Institute of Western Kentucky (OIWK) Sports Medicine Center doesn’t just care for current or past athletes. Our specialists serve anyone with an active lifestyle. They often treat bone fractures, joint problems, and soft tissue injuries such as ACL tears, pulled ligaments, and tendon damage.

OIWK sports medicine physicians use minimally invasive, arthroscopic technology to assess, reconstruct, and repair injuries sustained while playing sports, working, or performing everyday actions. We can even map out your surgery on a computer before performing it and have implants created specifically for your body.  

We also take a comprehensive approach to care. Our institute includes physicians, athletic trainers, and physical and occupational therapists who provide every patient with the best possible treatment plan and result.

Our goal is to help you resume normal activities as soon as possible. We want you to run cross-country races, perform construction work, or simply move around the house without pain. 

All OIWK sports medicine staff members are specialty-trained, meaning they have acquired fellowships in this area of expertise. As our patient, you’ll receive treatment from a provider with vast experience and the highest level of training for treating soft tissue injuries, bone fractures, and joint issues. You’ll also get a quality of care that can stand against any service found in bigger cities.
