 Sports
Medicine
It's Not Just for the Pros
Sports Medicine is often associated with Major League Baseball, the NFL
or the Olympic Games. But you don't have to be a professional athlete
to see the benefits of a sports medicine program. Whether you're a scholastic
athlete, a fitness enthusiast or simply enjoy a sporting activity as a
hobby, Mercy's Sports Medicine Center provides this area with a comprehensive
diagnostic, treatment and prevention fitness facility. 
Professionals, including physical therapists, physical therapist assistants,
athletic trainers and exercise physiologists are all part of the treatment
team. Each team member has extensive experience working with athletes
and individuals of all ages. They use this knowledge and expertise to
assist you in training, injury prevention and rehabilitation.
In addition to treating sports related injuries, Mercy's Sports Medicine
Center also offers comprehensive Orthopedic and Occupational related rehab
programs.

Occupational
Related Rehab Programs
Mercy's Sports Medicine Center offers occupational related rehab programs
to treat patients with injuries that occur at the workplace. In conjunction
with Work Health & Safety Center provides an ideal and convenient setting
for anyone in need of these services. The injured employee can literally
walk from the doctor's examination room to our therapy clinic all within
the same facility.
Services we provide include:
• Acute Care Therapy: The rehabilitation process of a new or "fresh"
injury can dramatically be enhanced if treated immediately. This also
reduces the costs associated with occupational injuries.
• Work Simulation: Our staff will work with the patient by imitating
some of his or her day to day activities in order for the injured worker
to return safely to the workplace.
• Physical Reconditioning: In most cases, the injured worker needs
to work on regaining his or her physical strength and endurance. Progressive
exercise programs are individually designed using state-of-the-art exercise
and strength equipment.
• Physical Capacity Evaluation: Our staff will evaluate the patient's
physical capacities and limitations as it applies to specific job requirements.
This helps us determine when it is safe for an employee to return to work
or we may make recommendations for job placement of the patient.
• Work-Site Evaluations: This is an on-site assessment of the job
demands and physical requirements employees face. The assessment helps
us recommend modifications of the workplace to the employer in order to
reduce potential injury to the employee.

prevent and treat injuries for all people who are physically active. Under
the direction of James D. Goff, D.O., medical director of Sports Medicine,
Mercy’s athletic trainers are healthcare professionals specializing in the
