The physicians and their staff have long-standing roots in the community. Several of our physicians and staff at OSSM, OPTI and the Orthopedic Urgent Care (OUC) attended area high schools and remain active adults in our community. This is why our physicians are proud to help the local high schools with orthopedic sports questions and support area charities and organizations such as local Park & Recreation programs, high school sports programs, local marathons and the Coeur d'Alene Ironman
From weekend warriors to elite athletes, OSSM physicians have the expertise to diagnose and treat injuries related to sports and exercise. The focus of our sports medicine program is on the prevention of all orthopedic injuries through exercise programs to increase strength, flexibility and endurance, the use of protective equipment and physical therapy. Surgery is the last resort for treating any injury. All patients receive a recovery and rehabilitation plan to get them "back in the game" as quickly and safely as possible.
