Comprehensive Sports Medicine Care in Mount Laurel, NJ
with Dr. Bowers and her team
Burlington County Orthopaedic Specialists provides comprehensive sports medicine care in Mount Laurel, NJ, for athletes and active individuals throughout Burlington County (Moorestown, Marlton, Cinnaminson, Delran, Maple Shade, Hainesport etc) in addition to Camden County (Haddonfield, Haddon Township, Cherry Hill, Pennsauken, among others). Sports Medicine involves prevention, treatment and rehabilitation, not only of athletes, but of all active children and adults. Most sports medicine injuries are treated without surgery, but when surgery is necessary, there are a number of options available depending on the problem. Arthroscopy can be employed in many situations and has revolutionized orthopedic surgery. It is the original “minimally invasive surgery.” It allows thorough, accurate evaluation of a joint, enabling us to perform surgeries that previously required large incisions and in-patient hospital stays.

Conditions that we commonly treat include disorders of the shoulder, such as instability, dislocations, biceps, labral and rotator cuff problems. The elbow, wrist and ankle are at risk for either traumatic or overuse injuries involving tendons, ligaments or the cartilage surfaces. Sports medicine related disorders of the knee include ligament injuries such as Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears, Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) sprains, meniscal and articular cartilage tears.
Our sports medicine procedures are performed at Vantage Surgery Center, Mt. Holly Ambulatory Center, or Virtua Mt. Holly Hospital, conveniently located within Burlington County. Sports medicine cases are performed on an outpatient (same-day surgery) basis. On the day of surgery, you will meet with an anesthesiologist who will review your medication options with you. When appropriate, a regional nerve block will be offered. The nerve block is highly recommended to help manage post-operative pain while minimizing or eliminating the need for narcotic pain medications. Upon discharge home, you will be provided prescriptions for any needed medications and typed instructions regarding your postoperative care.
