Sports Medicine

Dr. Greg Palutsis Section Head, Sports Medicine

Sports injuries are not limited to the professional athlete. Everyone from the grade school athlete to the weekend warrior is susceptible to a sports injury. Some of the injuries these physicians might treat are tennis elbow, wrist tendonitis, shin splints or golfers elbow to name a few. Many of these issues are caused by over- or improper use. Athletes are also vulnerable to acute traumatic injuries such as fractures, strains, sprains and abrasions.

Some athletes may be tempted to ignore aching and soreness but should remember that if left untreated, a chronic injury will probably get worse over time. The sports medicine physicians of NorthShore University HealthSystem use a variety of surgical and non-surgical techniques to put the athlete back on the playing field.
