Orthopedic Sports Medicine

At St. Peter’s Health Orthopedics, we understand athletes — and we also understand that sports medicine is not just for competitive athletes. Our highly specialized and experienced Sports Medicine team provides comprehensive care for high school and college athletes, recreational athletes, and individuals who maintain an active lifestyle throughout Helena, Butte and the surrounding Montana region.

Sports and recreational activities place high demands on the body. Knees, shoulders, ankles, and wrists absorb tremendous forces to maintain balance, stability, and peak performance. When injuries occur, our team takes an integrative, patient-centered approach to diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, helping you return safely to the activities you enjoy.

Conditions & Injuries We Treat

Sports-related injuries can happen suddenly or develop over time. Our orthopedic specialists commonly treat:

• Sprains and strains
• Fractures and stres s fractures
• Joint dislocations
• ACL, meniscus, and ligament injuries
• Shoulder instability and rotator cuff injuries
• Overuse injuries and tendonitis
• Knee, shoulder, ankle, and wrist pain

We focus not only on relieving pain, but also on restoring function and preventing future injury.

Comprehensive Sports Medicine Treatment Options

We offer a full spectrum of sports medicine care, ranging from conservative treatments to advanced surgical solutions. After a thorough evaluation with one of our sports medicine providers, we develop a personalized treatment plan based on your injury, goals, and activity level.

Non-Operative & In-Office Treatments

Many sports injuries respond well to nonsurgical care, including:

• Physical therapy and guided rehabilitation
• Activity modification and injury prevention strategies
• Joint and bursa injections
• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy for select conditions
• Sports-related concussion after care

Our goal is always to relieve symptoms and restore function using the least invasive approach possible.

Advanced Sports Medicine Surgery

When surgery is necessary, patients can feel confident knowing our highly specialized and experienced orthopedic surgeons utilize evidence-based techniques and minimally invasive procedures whenever appropriate. These advanced approaches may allow for:

• Improved outcomes
• Reduced tissue disruption
• In some cases, faster recovery times

While we continuously pursue the latest advancements in orthopedic sports medicine, our mission remains the same: helping athletes of all skill levels stay healthy, active, and performing at their best.
