The Duke Sports Medicine Center has a 70-year history as a national leader in the treatment of professional athletes as well as non-professional and recreational athletes.

Our staff serve as the team physicians for Duke University, including the 2001 NCAA Champion men's basketball team, and North Carolina Central University athletic programs.

Sports Medicine's treatment programs (the Sports Medicine Clinic and physical therapy) offer a coordinated diagnostic and treatment effort, while the Michael W. Krzyzewski Human Performance Research Laboratory (K-Lab) and the Duke Sports Performance Program provide valuable information on injury prevention and performance enhancement for athletes and physically active individuals.

Together, these programs provide a multi-disciplinary approach to treating and educating our patients.

Duke's Sports Medicine Center also offers the highest quality services for women's sports medicine, pediatric sports medicine, sports psychology, primary care/non-orthopaedic related medical care and rheumatology care.

Duke Sports Medicine services are offered by the Sports Medicine section of the Division of Orthopaedic Surgery of the Department of Surgery, and the Department of Physical and Occupational Therapy, at Duke University Medical Center.
