With advanced skills and training, they provide accurate diagnoses and comprehensive treatment plans tailored to your specific needs.
Whether you're a competitive athlete or simply someone who values staying active, visiting a sports medicine clinic in Houston should be your first step in achieving your recovery and performance goals.

With 50 years of combined experience, our providers offer trusted sports medicine in Houston for individuals looking for effective solutions that promote quick recovery and help avoid the need for surgery.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is a key part of sports medicine that helps restore strength, flexibility, and mobility. It combines targeted exercises, manual therapies, and modalities for lasting recovery.
Epidural Steroid Injections
Epidural steroid injections target inflammation and pain, particularly in the back, to provide quick relief. By reducing swelling around irritated nerves, these injections allow you to engage more comfortably in your rehabilitation program, helping speed up recovery.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care relieves pain by aligning the spine and joints and improving overall posture. By addressing misalignments, it reduces pressure on nerves, alleviates discomfort, and promotes natural healing, helping you get back to your routine with less pain and stiffness.
Connective Tissue Matrix
The connective tissue matrix (CTM) consists of collagen and elastin fibers, proteoglycans, and glycoproteins. These components in our muscles, ligaments, and tissues assist in nutrient transport, repair, and other metabolic processes. As a type of regenerative medicine, CTM can be injected at the injury site to promote healing and long-term recovery.
