Care for athletes and active people
Sports medicine focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating injuries related to physical activity — and on getting you back to your sport, workout, or daily routine safely. Our orthopedic team treats athletes of all levels as well as active adults whose injuries are keeping them on the sidelines.
Sports injuries we treat
- Sprains & strains
- Ligament injuries
- Tendon injuries & tendinitis
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Cartilage & meniscus injuries
- Overuse injuries
- Fractures
- Joint instability & dislocations
Our approach: relieve, restore, return
We start with an accurate diagnosis, then build a plan that gets you moving again while protecting the healing tissue. Depending on the injury, treatment may include:
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation to rebuild strength, flexibility, and mechanics.
- Bracing, activity modification, and rest to protect the injury while it heals.
- Medications and injections to control pain and inflammation.
- Arthroscopic and minimally invasive surgery when a torn or damaged structure needs repair.
Our goal is a safe, confident return to activity — with a plan to help prevent the next injury.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does a sports medicine specialist treat?
Sports medicine covers injuries and conditions related to physical activity — including sprains and strains, ligament and tendon injuries, cartilage damage, overuse injuries, and fractures. Care focuses on relieving pain, restoring function, and safely returning you to activity.
Do I need to be an athlete to see a sports medicine provider?
No. Sports medicine helps anyone with an activity-related injury — weekend athletes, active adults, and people whose everyday movement is limited by pain — not just competitive athletes.
When should I see a doctor for a sports injury?
See a specialist if you have significant swelling, an inability to bear weight or use the joint, a joint that feels unstable, or pain that doesn't improve with rest. Seek urgent care for an obvious deformity or severe pain after an injury.
Will I need surgery for a sports injury?
Often not. Many sports injuries respond to rest, physical therapy, bracing, and activity modification. When surgery is needed, arthroscopic (minimally invasive) techniques are frequently used. Call Argires Specialty Group at (717) 358-0800 to be evaluated in Lancaster, PA.
