Sports medicine

Get back to what you love doing.

Expert evaluation and treatment for injuries, pain, movement problems, concussion, recovery, and return to sport from a physician with extensive sports medicine experience.

For competitive athletes, weekend warriors, active adults, and anyone who simply wants to move without pain.

You do not have to be an athlete to need sports medicine.

Sports medicine focuses on how your muscles, joints, tendons, movement, and activity affect your health. Ridgeview helps patients understand what is causing their pain, build a treatment plan, and safely return to the activities that matter to them.

Sports medicine consultations are included in every primary care membership — and standalone visits are open to anyone, even if your primary care is elsewhere.

Your road back

Diagnose. Treat. Return.

01

Understand the problem

Your initial consultation focuses on identifying the cause of the problem and developing an appropriate treatment plan.

02

See how your body responds

Follow-up evaluates your response to treatment. If needed, Dr. Kroner can adjust or escalate the treatment plan.

03

Return safely

Together, you determine when and how it is appropriate to return to your preferred activity or sport.

The goal is not simply to reduce pain. It is to help you return safely and confidently.
