Sports Medicine

Whether it's a youth league mishap, a middle or high school sports injury needing accurate diagnosis and an appropriate return to play plan, an NCAA entrance physical exam, or the overuse injury of a more senior athlete, Hanover Family Physicians has the expertise to get you back in the game.  Several of our providers are particularly interested in caring for patients with sports injuries and two of them, Drs.' Michael Petrizzi and Lee Blackburn, have certificates of added qualifications in sports medicine.  Each serves as the team physician for a Hanover County high school caring for athletes both on the field and in the office. Our on site x-ray capabilities and working relationships with area physical therapists further enhance our ability to provide sports medicine care.  So look to us for care as diverse as a treatment plan for controlling your child's exercise induced asthma to help with a training program to run in the Monument Avenue 10K despite that knee problem!
